<h3>HOLCF: A higher-order version of LCF based on Isabelle/HOL</h3>

HOLCF is the definitional extension of Church's Higher-Order Logic with
Scott's Logic for Computable Functions that has been implemented in the
theorem prover Isabelle.  This results in a flexible setup for reasoning
about functional programs. HOLCF supports standard domain theory (in particular
fixpoint reasoning and recursive domain equations) but also coinductive
arguments about lazy datatypes.

The most recent description of HOLCF is found here:

A detailed description (in German) of the entire development can be found in:
