Induction on a well-founded order in Isabelle - isabelle

I have to prove a property of this form:
lemma
assumes "set E ⊆ set E'" "⊢ E' ok"
shows "set (cv T E b) ⊆ set (cv T E' b)"
I want to prove it using something like:
proof(induction "(size T, length E)"
arbitrary: E T rule: less_induct)
meaning that the induction hypothesis should give me the property for all pairs T, E such that in the lexicographic order:
(size T, length E)
is smaller.
So far I only got the error message:
exception THM 0 raised (line 760 of "drule.ML"):
infer_instantiate_types: type ?'a of variable ?a
cannot be unified with type nat × nat of term x__
(⋀x. (⋀y. y < x ⟹ ?P y) ⟹ ?P x) ⟹ ?P ?a

The problem is that the typeclass instance for the ordering on pairs is not imported by default. You can import "HOL-Library.Product_Lexorder" to get the normal lexicographical ordering on pairs.
Alternatively you can use the rule wf_induct and provide your own well-founded relation.

Why do I get this exception on an induction rule for a lemma?

I am trying to prove the following lemma (which is the meaning formula for the addition of two Binary numerals).
It goes like this :
lemma (in th2) addMeaningF_2: "∀m. m ≤ n ⟹ (m = (len x + len y) ⟹ (evalBinNum_1 (addBinNum x y) = plus (evalBinNum_1 x) (evalBinNum_1 y)))"
I am trying to perform strong induction. When I apply(induction n rule: less_induct) on the lemma, it throws an error.
exception THM 0 raised (line 755 of "drule.ML"):
infer_instantiate_types: type ?'a of variable ?a
cannot be unified with type 'b of term n
(⋀x. (⋀y. y < x ⟹ ?P y) ⟹ ?P x) ⟹ ?P ?a
Can anyone explain this?
Edit:
For more context
locale th2 = th1 +
fixes
plus :: "'a ⇒ 'a ⇒ 'a"
assumes
arith_1: "plus n zero = n"
and plus_suc: "plus n (suc m) = suc ( plus n m)"
len and evalBinNum_1 are both recursive functions
len gives us the length of a given binary numeral, while evalBinNum_1 evaluates binary numerals.
fun (in th2) evalBinNum_1 :: "BinNum ⇒ 'a"
where
"evalBinNum_1 Zero = zero"|
"evalBinNum_1 One = suc(zero)"|
"evalBinNum_1 (JoinZero x) = plus (evalBinNum_1 x) (evalBinNum_1 x)"|
"evalBinNum_1 (JoinOne x) = plus (plus (evalBinNum_1 x) (evalBinNum_1 x)) (suc zero)"
The problem is that Isabelle cannot infer the type of n (or the bound occurrence of m) when trying to use the induction rule less_induct. You might want to add a type annotation such as (n::nat) in your lemma. For the sake of generality, you might want to state that the type of n is an instance of the class wellorder, that is, (n::'a::wellorder). On another subject, I think there is a logical issue with your lemma statement: I guess you actually mean ∀m. m ≤ (n::nat) ⟶ ... ⟶ ... or, equivalently, ⋀m. m ≤ (n::nat) ⟹ ... ⟹ .... Finally, it would be good to know the context of your problem (e.g., there seems to be a locale th2 involved) for a more precise answer.

How to generate code for less_eq operation

I need to generate a code calculating all values greater or equal to some value:
datatype ty = A | B | C
instantiation ty :: order
begin
fun less_ty where
"A < x = (x = C)"
| "B < x = (x = C)"
| "C < x = False"
definition "(x :: ty) ≤ y ≡ x = y ∨ x < y"
instance
apply intro_classes
apply (metis less_eq_ty_def less_ty.elims(2) ty.distinct(3) ty.distinct(5))
apply (simp add: less_eq_ty_def)
apply (metis less_eq_ty_def less_ty.elims(2))
using less_eq_ty_def less_ty.elims(2) by fastforce
end
instantiation ty :: enum
begin
definition [simp]: "enum_ty ≡ [A, B, C]"
definition [simp]: "enum_all_ty P ≡ P A ∧ P B ∧ P C"
definition [simp]: "enum_ex_ty P ≡ P A ∨ P B ∨ P C"
instance
apply intro_classes
apply auto
by (case_tac x, auto)+
end
lemma less_eq_code_predI [code_pred_intro]:
"Predicate_Compile.contains {z. x ≤ z} y ⟹ x ≤ y"
(* "Predicate_Compile.contains {z. z ≤ y} x ⟹ x ≤ y"*)
by (simp_all add: Predicate_Compile.contains_def)
code_pred [show_modes] less_eq
by (simp add: Predicate_Compile.containsI)
values "{x. A ≤ x}"
(* values "{x. x ≤ C}" *)
It works fine. But the theory looks over-complicated. Also I can't calculate values less or equal to some value. If one will uncoment the 2nd part of less_eq_code_predI lemma, then less_eq will have only one mode i => i => boolpos.
Is there a simpler and more generic approach?
Can less_eq support i => o => boolpos and o => i => boolpos at the same time?
Is it possible not to declare ty as an instance of enum class? I can declare a function returning a set of elements greater or equal to some element:
fun ge_values where
"ge_values A = {A, C}"
| "ge_values B = {B, C}"
| "ge_values C = {C}"
lemma ge_values_eq_less_eq_ty:
"{y. x ≤ y} = ge_values x"
by (cases x; auto simp add: dual_order.order_iff_strict)
This would allow me to remove enum and code_pred stuff. But in this case I will not be able to use this function in the definition of other predicates. How to replace (≤) by ge_values in the following definition?
inductive pred1 where
"x ≤ y ⟹ pred1 x y"
code_pred [show_modes] pred1 .
I need pred1 to have at least i => o => boolpos mode.
The predicate compiler has an option inductify that tries to convert functional definitions into inductive ones. It is somewhat experimental and does not work in every case, so use it with care. In the above example, the type classes make the whole situation a bit more complicated. Here's what I managed to get working:
case_of_simps less_ty_alt: less_ty.simps
definition less_ty' :: "ty ⇒ ty ⇒ bool" where "less_ty' = (<)"
declare less_ty_alt [folded less_ty'_def, code_pred_def]
code_pred [inductify, show_modes] "less_ty'" .
values "{x. less_ty' A x}"
The first line convertes the pattern-matching equations into one with a case expression on the right. It uses the command case_of_simps from HOL-Library.Simps_Case_Conv.
Unfortunately, the predicate compiler seems to have trouble with compiling type class operations. At least I could not get it to work.
So the second line introduces a new constant for (<) on ty.
The attribute code_pred_def tells the predicate compiler to use the given theorem (namely less_ty_alt with less_ty' instead of (<)) as the "defining equation".
code_pred with the inductify option looks at the equation for less_ty' declared by code_pred_def and derives an inductive definition out of that. inductify usually works well with case expressions, constructors and quantifiers. Everything beyond that is at your own risk.
Alternatively, you could also manually implement the enumeration similar to ge_values and register the connection between (<) and ge_values with the predicate compiler. See the setup block at the end of the Predicate_Compile theory in the distribution for an example with Predicate.contains. Note however that the predicate compiler works best with predicates and not with sets. So you'd have to write ge_values in the predicate monad Predicate.pred.

Definition of Prime in Isabelle

I am following the Isabelle Tutorial. On page 25 it refers a definition of a prime number. I wrote it so:
definition prime :: "nat ⇒ bool" where "prime p ≡ 1 < p ∧ (∀m. m dvd p ⟶ m = 1 ∨ m = p)"
which is accepted by Isabelle. But when I try
value "prime (Suc 0)"
it gives the error
Wellsortedness error
(in code equation prime ?p ≡
ord_nat_inst.less_nat one_nat_inst.one_nat ?p ∧
(∀m. m dvd ?p ⟶
equal_nat_inst.equal_nat m one_nat_inst.one_nat ∨
equal_nat_inst.equal_nat m ?p),
with dependency "Pure.dummy_pattern" -> "prime"):
Type nat not of sort enum
No type arity nat :: enum
What am I doing wrong?
You have a universal quantifier in that definition. Isabelle cannot possibly evaluate a predicate involving a universal quantifier on a type with infinitely many values (in this case nat), and that is what this somewhat cryptic error message says: nat is not of sort enum. enum is a type class that essentially states that there is a computable finite list containing all the values of the type.
If you want to evalue your prime function with the code generator, you either need to change your definition to something executable or provide a code equation that shows that it is equivalent to something computable, e.g. like this:
lemma prime_code [code]:
"prime p = (1 < p ∧ (∀m∈{1..p}. m dvd p ⟶ m = 1 ∨ m = p))"
proof safe
assume p: "p > 1" "∀m∈{1..p}. m dvd p ⟶ m = 1 ∨ m = p"
show "prime p" unfolding prime_def
proof (intro conjI allI impI)
fix m assume m: "m dvd p"
with p have "m ≠ 0" by (intro notI) simp
moreover from p m have "m ≤ p" by (simp add: dvd_imp_le)
ultimately show "m = 1 ∨ m = p" using p m by auto
qed fact+
qed (auto simp: prime_def)
value "prime 5"
(* "True" :: "bool" *)
The reason why this is executable is that the universal quantifier is bounded; it ranges over the finite set {1..p}. (You don't need to check for divisibility by numbers greater than the supposed prime)

Is there an Isabelle equivalent to Haskell newtype?

I want to make a new datatype shaped like an old one, but (unlike using type_synonym) it should be recognized as distinct in other theories.
My motivating example: I'm making a stack datatype out of lists. I don't want my other theories to see my stacks as lists so I can enforce my own simplification rules on it, but the only solution I've found is the following:
datatype 'a stk = S "'a list"
...
primrec index_of' :: "'a list => 'a => nat option"
where "index_of' [] b = None"
| "index_of' (a # as) b = (
if b = a then Some 0
else case index_of' as b of Some n => Some (Suc n) | None => None)"
primrec index_of :: "'a stk => 'a => nat option"
where "index_of (S as) x = index_of' as x"
...
lemma [simp]: "index_of' del v = Some m ==> m <= n ==>
index_of' (insert_at' del n v) v = Some m"
<proof>
lemma [simp]: "index_of del v = Some m ==> m <= n ==>
index_of (insert_at del n v) v = Some m"
by (induction del, simp)
It works, but it means my stack theory is bloated and filled with way too much redundancy: every function has a second version stripping the constructor off, and every theorem has a second version (for which the proof is always by (induction del, simp), which strikes me as a sign I'm doing too much work somewhere).
Is there anything that would help here?
You want to use typedef.
The declaration
typedef 'a stack = "{xs :: 'a list. True}"
morphisms list_of_stack as_stack
by auto
introduces a new type, containing all lists, as well as functions between 'a stack and 'a list and a bunch of theorems. Here is selection of them (you can view all using show_theorems after the typedef command):
theorems:
as_stack_cases: (⋀y. ?x = as_stack y ⟹ y ∈ {xs. True} ⟹ ?P) ⟹ ?P
as_stack_inject: ?x ∈ {xs. True} ⟹ ?y ∈ {xs. True} ⟹ (as_stack ?x = as_stack ?y) = (?x = ?y)
as_stack_inverse: ?y ∈ {xs. True} ⟹ list_of_stack (as_stack ?y) = ?y
list_of_stack: list_of_stack ?x ∈ {xs. True}
list_of_stack_inject: (list_of_stack ?x = list_of_stack ?y) = (?x = ?y)
list_of_stack_inverse: as_stack (list_of_stack ?x) = ?x
type_definition_stack: type_definition list_of_stack as_stack {xs. True}
The ?x ∈ {xs. True} assumptions are quite boring here, but you can specify a subset of all lists there, e.g. if your stacks are never empty, and ensure on the type level that the property holds for all types.
The type_definition_stack theorem is useful in conjunction with the lifting package. After the declaration
setup_lifting type_definition_stack
you can define functions on stacks by giving their definition in terms of lists, and also prove theorems involving stacks by proving their equivalent proposition in terms of lists; much easier than manually juggling with the conversion functions.

How to use obtain in existential proofs?

I tried to prove an existential theorem
lemma "∃ x. x * (t :: nat) = t"
proof
obtain y where "y * t = t" by (auto)
but I could not finish the proof. So I have the necessary y but how can I feed it into the original goal?
Soundness of natural deduction requires that you get hold of the witness before you open the existential quantifier. This is why you are not allowed to use obtained variables in show statements. In your example, the proof step implicitly applies the rule exI. This turns the existentially quantified variable x into the schematic variable ?x, which can be instantiated later, but the instantiation may only refer to variables that have been in scope when ?x came into place. In the low-level proof state, obtained variables are meta-quantified (!!) and the instantiations for ?x can only refer to such variables that appear as a parameter to ?x.
Therefore, you have to switch the order in your proof:
lemma "∃ x. x * (t :: nat) = t"
proof - (* method - does not change the goal *)
obtain y where "y * t = t" by (auto)
then show ?thesis by(rule exI)
qed
You can give the witness (i.e. the element you want to put in for x) in the show clause:
lemma "∃ x. x * (t :: nat) = t"
proof
show "1*t = t" by simp
qed
Alternatively, when you already know the witness (1 or Suc 0 here), you can explicitly instantiate the rule exI to introduce the existential term:
lemma "∃ x. x * (t :: nat) = t"
by (rule exI[where x = "Suc 0"], simp)
Here, the existential quantifier introduction rule thm exI is
?P ?x ⟹ ∃x. ?P x
you can explore and instantiate it gradually with the answer.
thm exI[where x = "Suc 0"] is:
?P (Suc 0) ⟹ ∃x. ?P x
and exI[where P = "λ x. x * t = t" and x = "Suc 0"] is
Suc 0 * t = t ⟹ ∃x. x * t = t
And Suc 0 * t = t is only one simplification (simp) away. But the system can figure out the last instantiation P = "λ x. x * t = t" via unification, so it isn't really necessary.
