ERRATA in the book "Isabelle: A Generic Theorem Prover"
by Lawrence C. Paulson (contributions by Tobias Nipkow)
Some of these errors are typographical but most of them are due to continuing
changes to Isabelle.
Thanks to Sara Kalvala, Tobias Nipkow
INTRODUCTION TO ISABELLE
Advanced Methods
page 52, middle: the declaration "types bool,nat" should be "types bool nat"
page 57, bottom: should be addsimps in
val add_ss = FOL_ss addrews [add_0, add_Suc]
ISABELLE REFERENCE MANUAL
Introduction
page 67: show_brackets is another flag, controlling display of bracketting
Tactics
page 85: subgoals_tac is another tactic, for multiple calls to subgoal_tac
Theories
page 117: the three lines of ML shown can be abbreviated to just
init_thy_reader();
page 118: extend_theory has been replaced by numerous functions for adding
types, constants, axioms, etc.
Defining Logics
page 127: type constraints ("::") now have a very low priority of 4.
As in ML, they must usually be enclosed in paretheses.
Syntax Transformations
page 145, line -5: delete repeated "the" in "before the the .thy file"
ISABELLE'S OBJECT-LOGICS
Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory
page 209: axioms have been renamed:
union_iff is now Union_iff
power_set is now Pow_iff
page 215, bottom of figure 17.10: DiffD2 is now "c : A - B ==> c ~: B"
page 215, bottom: rules mem_anti_sym and mem_anti_refl are now mem_asym and
mem_irrefl
page 222, top: missing braces in qconverse_def (around right-hand side)
and QSigma_def (around <x;y>)
page 223, top: lfp_def, gfp_def have missing braces around the argument of
Inter, Union
page 228: now there is also a theory of cardinal numbers and some
developments involving the Axiom of Choice.
page 229: now there is another examples directory, IMP (a semantics
equivalence proof for an imperative language)
Higher-Order Logic
page 243: Pow is a new constant of type 'a set => 'a set set
page 246: Pow is defined by Pow(A) == {B. B <= A}
page 248: Pow has the rules
PowI A<=B ==> A: Pow(B)
PowD A: Pow(B) ==> A<=B
page 259: HOL theory files may now include datatype declarations and
(co)inductive definitions. (Two sections added.)
