Intuitively, the relation~$\prec$ is \textbf{well-founded} if it admits no
infinite descending chains

\[ \infer{P(a)}{\infer*{P(x)}{[\forall y.\, y\prec x \imp P(y)]}} \]
To show $P(a)$ for a particular term~$a$, it suffices to show $P(x)$ for
arbitrary~$x$ under the assumption that $P(y)$ holds for $y\prec x$.
Intuitively, the well-foundedness of $\prec$ ensures that the chains of

+induction see, for example, \cite{Baader-Nipkow}.
In Isabelle, the induction rule is expressed like this:
