-section{*Case distinction and induction \label{sec:Induct}*}
-
-text{* Computer science applications abound with inductively defined
-structures, which is why we treat them in more detail. HOL already
-comes with a datatype of lists with the two constructors @{text Nil}
-and @{text Cons}. @{text Nil} is written @{term"[]"} and @{text"Cons x
-xs"} is written @{term"x # xs"}.  *}
-
-subsection{*Case distinction\label{sec:CaseDistinction}*}
-
-text{* We have already met the @{text cases} method for performing
-binary case splits. Here is another example: *}
-lemma "\<not> A \<or> A"
-proof cases
-  assume "A" thus ?thesis ..
-next
-  assume "\<not> A" thus ?thesis ..
-qed
-
-text{*\noindent The two cases must come in this order because @{text
-cases} merely abbreviates @{text"(rule case_split_thm)"} where
-@{thm[source] case_split_thm} is @{thm case_split_thm}. If we reverse
-the order of the two cases in the proof, the first case would prove
-@{prop"\<not> A \<Longrightarrow> \<not> A \<or> A"} which would solve the first premise of
-@{thm[source] case_split_thm}, instantiating @{text ?P} with @{term "\<not>
-A"}, thus making the second premise @{prop"\<not> \<not> A \<Longrightarrow> \<not> A \<or> A"}.
-Therefore the order of subgoals is not always completely arbitrary.
-
-The above proof is appropriate if @{term A} is textually small.
-However, if @{term A} is large, we do not want to repeat it. This can
-be avoided by the following idiom *}
-
-lemma "\<not> A \<or> A"
-proof (cases "A")
-  case True thus ?thesis ..
-next
-  case False thus ?thesis ..
-qed
-
-text{*\noindent which is like the previous proof but instantiates
-@{text ?P} right away with @{term A}. Thus we could prove the two
-cases in any order. The phrase `\isakeyword{case}~@{text True}'
-abbreviates `\isakeyword{assume}~@{text"True: A"}' and analogously for
-@{text"False"} and @{prop"\<not>A"}.
-
-The same game can be played with other datatypes, for example lists,
-where @{term tl} is the tail of a list, and @{text length} returns a
-natural number (remember: $0-1=0$):
-*}
-(*<*)declare length_tl[simp del](*>*)
-lemma "length(tl xs) = length xs - 1"
-proof (cases xs)
-  case Nil thus ?thesis by simp
-next
-  case Cons thus ?thesis by simp
-qed
-text{*\noindent Here `\isakeyword{case}~@{text Nil}' abbreviates
-`\isakeyword{assume}~@{text"Nil:"}~@{prop"xs = []"}' and
-`\isakeyword{case}~@{text Cons}'
-abbreviates `\isakeyword{fix}~@{text"? ??"}
-\isakeyword{assume}~@{text"Cons:"}~@{text"xs = ? # ??"}'
-where @{text"?"} and @{text"??"}
-stand for variable names that have been chosen by the system.
-Therefore we cannot refer to them.
-Luckily, this proof is simple enough we do not need to refer to them.
-However, sometimes one may have to. Hence Isar offers a simple scheme for
-naming those variables: replace the anonymous @{text Cons} by
-@{text"(Cons y ys)"}, which abbreviates `\isakeyword{fix}~@{text"y ys"}
-\isakeyword{assume}~@{text"Cons:"}~@{text"xs = y # ys"}'.
-In each \isakeyword{case} the assumption can be
-referred to inside the proof by the name of the constructor. In
-Section~\ref{sec:full-Ind} below we will come across an example
-of this. *}
-
-subsection{*Structural induction*}
-
-text{* We start with an inductive proof where both cases are proved automatically: *}
-lemma "2 * (\<Sum>i<n+1. i) = n*(n+1)"
-by (induct n, simp_all)
-
-text{*\noindent If we want to expose more of the structure of the
-proof, we can use pattern matching to avoid having to repeat the goal
-statement: *}
-lemma "2 * (\<Sum>i<n+1. i) = n*(n+1)" (is "?P n")
-proof (induct n)
-  show "?P 0" by simp
-next
-  fix n assume "?P n"
-  thus "?P(Suc n)" by simp
-qed
-
-text{* \noindent We could refine this further to show more of the equational
-proof. Instead we explore the same avenue as for case distinctions:
-introducing context via the \isakeyword{case} command: *}
-lemma "2 * (\<Sum>i<n+1. i) = n*(n+1)"
-proof (induct n)
-  case 0 show ?case by simp
-next
-  case Suc thus ?case by simp
-qed
-
-text{* \noindent The implicitly defined @{text ?case} refers to the
-corresponding case to be proved, i.e.\ @{text"?P 0"} in the first case and
-@{text"?P(Suc n)"} in the second case. Context \isakeyword{case}~@{text 0} is
-empty whereas \isakeyword{case}~@{text Suc} assumes @{text"?P n"}. Again we
-have the same problem as with case distinctions: we cannot refer to an anonymous @{term n}
-in the induction step because it has not been introduced via \isakeyword{fix}
-(in contrast to the previous proof). The solution is the one outlined for
-@{text Cons} above: replace @{term Suc} by @{text"(Suc i)"}: *}
-lemma fixes n::nat shows "n < n*n + 1"
-proof (induct n)
-  case 0 show ?case by simp
-next
-  case (Suc i) thus "Suc i < Suc i * Suc i + 1" by simp
-qed
-
-text{* \noindent Of course we could again have written
-\isakeyword{thus}~@{text ?case} instead of giving the term explicitly
-but we wanted to use @{term i} somewhere. *}
-
-subsection{*Induction formulae involving @{text"\<And>"} or @{text"\<Longrightarrow>"}\label{sec:full-Ind}*}
-
-text{* Let us now consider the situation where the goal to be proved contains
-@{text"\<And>"} or @{text"\<Longrightarrow>"}, say @{prop"\<And>x. P x \<Longrightarrow> Q x"} --- motivation and a
-real example follow shortly.  This means that in each case of the induction,
-@{text ?case} would be of the form @{prop"\<And>x. P' x \<Longrightarrow> Q' x"}.  Thus the
-first proof steps will be the canonical ones, fixing @{text x} and assuming
-@{prop"P' x"}. To avoid this tedium, induction performs these steps
-automatically: for example in case @{text"(Suc n)"}, @{text ?case} is only
-@{prop"Q' x"} whereas the assumptions (named @{term Suc}!) contain both the
-usual induction hypothesis \emph{and} @{prop"P' x"}.
-It should be clear how this generalises to more complex formulae.
-
-As an example we will now prove complete induction via
-structural induction. *}
-
-lemma assumes A: "(\<And>n. (\<And>m. m < n \<Longrightarrow> P m) \<Longrightarrow> P n)"
-  shows "P(n::nat)"
-proof (rule A)
-  show "\<And>m. m < n \<Longrightarrow> P m"
-  proof (induct n)
-    case 0 thus ?case by simp
-  next
-    case (Suc n)   -- {*\isakeyword{fix} @{term m} \isakeyword{assume} @{text Suc}: @{text[source]"?m < n \<Longrightarrow> P ?m"} @{prop[source]"m < Suc n"}*}
-    show ?case    -- {*@{term ?case}*}
-    proof cases
-      assume eq: "m = n"
-      from Suc and A have "P n" by blast
-      with eq show "P m" by simp
-    next
-      assume "m \<noteq> n"
-      with Suc have "m < n" by arith
-      thus "P m" by(rule Suc)
-    qed
-  qed
-qed
-text{* \noindent Given the explanations above and the comments in the
-proof text (only necessary for novices), the proof should be quite
-readable.
-
-The statement of the lemma is interesting because it deviates from the style in
-the Tutorial~\cite{LNCS2283}, which suggests to introduce @{text"\<forall>"} or
-@{text"\<longrightarrow>"} into a theorem to strengthen it for induction. In Isar
-proofs we can use @{text"\<And>"} and @{text"\<Longrightarrow>"} instead. This simplifies the
-proof and means we do not have to convert between the two kinds of
-connectives.
-
-Note that in a nested induction over the same data type, the inner
-case labels hide the outer ones of the same name. If you want to refer
-to the outer ones inside, you need to name them on the outside, e.g.\
-\isakeyword{note}~@{text"outer_IH = Suc"}.  *}
-
-subsection{*Rule induction*}
-
-text{* HOL also supports inductively defined sets. See \cite{LNCS2283}
-for details. As an example we define our own version of the reflexive
-transitive closure of a relation --- HOL provides a predefined one as well.*}
-consts rtc :: "('a \<times> 'a)set \<Rightarrow> ('a \<times> 'a)set"   ("_*" [1000] 999)
-inductive "r*"
-intros
-refl:  "(x,x) \<in> r*"
-step:  "\<lbrakk> (x,y) \<in> r; (y,z) \<in> r* \<rbrakk> \<Longrightarrow> (x,z) \<in> r*"
-
-text{* \noindent
-First the constant is declared as a function on binary
-relations (with concrete syntax @{term"r*"} instead of @{text"rtc
-r"}), then the defining clauses are given. We will now prove that
-@{term"r*"} is indeed transitive: *}
-
-lemma assumes A: "(x,y) \<in> r*" shows "(y,z) \<in> r* \<Longrightarrow> (x,z) \<in> r*"
-using A
-proof induct
-  case refl thus ?case .
-next
-  case step thus ?case by(blast intro: rtc.step)
-qed
-text{*\noindent Rule induction is triggered by a fact $(x_1,\dots,x_n)
-\in R$ piped into the proof, here \isakeyword{using}~@{text A}. The
-proof itself follows the inductive definition very
-closely: there is one case for each rule, and it has the same name as
-the rule, analogous to structural induction.
-
-However, this proof is rather terse. Here is a more readable version:
-*}
-
-lemma assumes A: "(x,y) \<in> r*" and B: "(y,z) \<in> r*"
-  shows "(x,z) \<in> r*"
-proof -
-  from A B show ?thesis
-  proof induct
-    fix x assume "(x,z) \<in> r*"  -- {*@{text B}[@{text y} := @{text x}]*}
-    thus "(x,z) \<in> r*" .
-  next
-    fix x' x y
-    assume 1: "(x',x) \<in> r" and
-           IH: "(y,z) \<in> r* \<Longrightarrow> (x,z) \<in> r*" and
-           B:  "(y,z) \<in> r*"
-    from 1 IH[OF B] show "(x',z) \<in> r*" by(rule rtc.step)
-  qed
-qed
-text{*\noindent We start the proof with \isakeyword{from}~@{text"A
-B"}. Only @{text A} is ``consumed'' by the induction step.
-Since @{text B} is left over we don't just prove @{text
-?thesis} but @{text"B \<Longrightarrow> ?thesis"}, just as in the previous proof. The
-base case is trivial. In the assumptions for the induction step we can
-see very clearly how things fit together and permit ourselves the
-obvious forward step @{text"IH[OF B]"}.
-
-The notation `\isakeyword{case}~\isa{(}\emph{constructor} \emph{vars}\isa{)}'
-is also supported for inductive definitions. The \emph{constructor} is (the
-name of) the rule and the \emph{vars} fix the free variables in the
-rule; the order of the \emph{vars} must correspond to the
-\emph{alphabetical order} of the variables as they appear in the rule.
-For example, we could start the above detailed proof of the induction
-with \isakeyword{case}~\isa{(step x' x y)}. However, we can then only
-refer to the assumptions named \isa{step} collectively and not
-individually, as the above proof requires.  *}
-
-subsection{*More induction*}
-
-text{* We close the section by demonstrating how arbitrary induction
-rules are applied. As a simple example we have chosen recursion
-induction, i.e.\ induction based on a recursive function
-definition. However, most of what we show works for induction in
-general.
-
-The example is an unusual definition of rotation: *}
-
-consts rot :: "'a list \<Rightarrow> 'a list"
-recdef rot "measure length"  --"for the internal termination proof"
-"rot [] = []"
-"rot [x] = [x]"
-"rot (x#y#zs) = y # rot(x#zs)"
-text{*\noindent This yields, among other things, the induction rule
-@{thm[source]rot.induct}: @{thm[display]rot.induct[no_vars]}
-In the following proof we rely on a default naming scheme for cases: they are
-called 1, 2, etc, unless they have been named explicitly. The latter happens
-only with datatypes and inductively defined sets, but not with recursive
-functions. *}
-
-lemma "xs \<noteq> [] \<Longrightarrow> rot xs = tl xs @ [hd xs]"
-proof (induct xs rule: rot.induct)
-  case 1 thus ?case by simp
-next
-  case 2 show ?case by simp
-next
-  case (3 a b cs)
-  have "rot (a # b # cs) = b # rot(a # cs)" by simp
-  also have "\<dots> = b # tl(a # cs) @ [hd(a # cs)]" by(simp add:3)
-  also have "\<dots> = tl (a # b # cs) @ [hd (a # b # cs)]" by simp
-  finally show ?case .
-qed
-
-text{*\noindent
-The third case is only shown in gory detail (see \cite{BauerW-TPHOLs01}
-for how to reason with chains of equations) to demonstrate that the
-`\isakeyword{case}~\isa{(}\emph{constructor} \emph{vars}\isa{)}' notation also
-works for arbitrary induction theorems with numbered cases. The order
-of the \emph{vars} corresponds to the order of the
-@{text"\<And>"}-quantified variables in each case of the induction
-theorem. For induction theorems produced by \isakeyword{recdef} it is
-the order in which the variables appear on the left-hand side of the
-equation.

-The proof is so simple that it can be condensed to
