(**** Some simple backward proofs ****)

goal FOL.thy "P|P --> P";
by (rtac impI 1);
by (rtac disjE 1);
by (assume_tac 3);
by (assume_tac 2);
by (assume_tac 1);
qed "mythm";

goal FOL.thy "(P & Q) | R  --> (P | R)";
by (rtac impI 1);
by (etac disjE 1);
by (dtac conjunct1 1);
by (rtac disjI1 1);
by (rtac disjI2 2);
by (REPEAT (assume_tac 1));
result();

(*Correct version, delaying use of "spec" until last*)
goal FOL.thy "(ALL x y.P(x,y))  -->  (ALL z w.P(w,z))";
by (rtac impI 1);
by (rtac allI 1);
by (rtac allI 1);
by (dtac spec 1);
by (dtac spec 1);
by (assume_tac 1);
result();


(**** Demonstration of fast_tac ****)

goal FOL.thy "(EX y. ALL x. J(y,x) <-> ~J(x,x))  \
\       -->  ~ (ALL x. EX y. ALL z. J(z,y) <-> ~ J(z,x))";
by (fast_tac FOL_cs 1);
result();

goal FOL.thy "ALL x. P(x,f(x)) <-> \
\       (EX y. (ALL z. P(z,y) --> P(z,f(x))) & P(x,y))";
by (fast_tac FOL_cs 1);
result();


(**** Derivation of conjunction elimination rule ****)

val [major,minor] = goal FOL.thy "[| P&Q;  [| P; Q |] ==> R |] ==> R";
by (rtac minor 1);
by (resolve_tac [major RS conjunct1] 1);
by (resolve_tac [major RS conjunct2] 1);
prth (topthm());
result();


(**** Derived rules involving definitions ****)

(** Derivation of negation introduction **)

val prems = goal FOL.thy "(P ==> False) ==> ~P";
by (rewtac not_def);
by (rtac impI 1);
by (resolve_tac prems 1);
by (assume_tac 1);
result();

val [major,minor] = goal FOL.thy "[| ~P;  P |] ==> R";
by (rtac FalseE 1);
by (rtac mp 1);
by (resolve_tac [rewrite_rule [not_def] major] 1);
by (rtac minor 1);
result();

(*Alternative proof of above result*)
val [major,minor] = goalw FOL.thy [not_def]
    "[| ~P;  P |] ==> R";
by (resolve_tac [minor RS (major RS mp RS FalseE)] 1);
result();
