How to create appropriate lemmas to prove this lemma in Isabelle? - isabelle

fun intersperse :: " 'a list ⇒ 'a ⇒ 'a list" where
"intersperse (x#y#xs) a = x#(a#(intersperse (y#xs) a))"|
"intersperse xs _ = xs"
lemma target:"map f (intersperse xs a) = intersperse (map f xs) (f a)"
The lemma seems very intuitive, but I can't get Isabelle to prove the lemma. I tried induction on xs, but the sledgehammer still can't find a proof. Then I tried adding auxiliary lemmas, all of them are easy to prove but don't help much proving target. I will list my attempts below though:
lemma intersp_1: "interspserse (xs#[y,x]) a = (intersperse (xs#[y]) a) # [a,x]"
...done
lemma intersp_2:"map f (intersperse (xs#[b,x]) a) = (map f (intersperse (xs#[b]) a)) # [(f a),(f x)]"
...done
lemma intersp_3: "map f (intersperse (x#y#xs) a) = (f x)#(f a)#(map f (intersperse (y#xs) a))"
...done
As a new learner of Isabelle I'm kind of stuck here. The only solution that I can currently think of is to come up with an appropriate lemma that provides enough hint to the solver. However I don't know how to "appropriately" dispart the induction step of target (after applying induction on xs) into a supplementary lemma. The induction step is
goal (1 subgoal):
1. ⋀aa xs.
map f (intersperse xs a) = intersperse (map f xs) (f a) ⟹
map f (intersperse (aa # xs) a) = intersperse (map f (aa # xs)) (f a)
Any help is appreciated!

Here's a proof:
lemma target: "map f (intersperse xs a) = intersperse (map f xs) (f a)"
proof (induct xs)
case Nil
then show ?case by simp
next
case (Cons x xs)
consider "xs = []" | "∃y ys. xs = y # ys" by (meson list.exhaust)
then show ?case using Cons by (cases; auto)
qed
The key here is that intersperse (x # []) a and intersperse (x # y # ys) a match different patterns, so by considering each case separately sledgehammer can easily find a proof.

Here is another option: Use the specialized induction rule for intersperse:
lemma target:"map f (intersperse xs a) = intersperse (map f xs) (f a)"
by (induct "(map f xs)" "f a" arbitrary: xs rule: intersperse.induct) auto
The rule intersperse.induct contains three cases:
x#y#xs
[]
[v]
These can then be solved by auto since they fit the simplification rules available for the function.
Since the parameters of intersperse in the lemma are not variables, it is necessary to give them explicitly to the induct method and use arbitrary to state what the variable parts are.

Function termination proof in Isabelle

I have datatype stack_op which consists of several (~20) cases. I'm trying write function which skips some of that cases in list:
function (sequential) skip_expr :: "stack_op list ⇒ stack_op list" where
"skip_expr [] = []"
| "skip_expr ((stack_op.Unary _)#other) = (skip_expr other)"
| "skip_expr ((stack_op.Binary _)#other) = skip_expr (skip_expr other)"
| "skip_expr ((stack_op.Value _)#other) = other"
| "skip_expr other = other"
by pat_completeness auto termination by lexicographic_order
which seems to always terminate. But trying by lexicographic order generates such unresolved cases:
Calls:
c) stack_op.Binary uv_ # other ~> skip_expr other
Measures:
1) size_list size
2) length
Result matrix:
1 2
c: ? ?
(size_change also desn't work)
I've read https://isabelle.in.tum.de/dist/Isabelle2021/doc/functions.pdf, but it couldn't help. (Maybe there are more complex examples of tremination use?)
I tried to rewrite function adding another param:
function (sequential) skip_expr :: "stack_op list ⇒ nat ⇒ stack_op list" where
"skip_expr l 0 = l"
| "skip_expr [] _ = []"
| "skip_expr ((stack_op.Unary _)#other) depth = (skip_expr other (depth - 1))"
| "skip_expr ((stack_op.Binary _)#other) depth =
(let buff1 = (skip_expr other (depth - 1))
in (skip_expr buff1 (length buff1)))"
| "skip_expr ((stack_op.Value _)#other) _ = other"
| "skip_expr other _ = other"
by pat_completeness auto
termination by (relation "measure (λ(_,dep). dep)") auto
which generates unresolved subgoal:
1. ⋀other v. skip_expr_dom (other, v) ⟹ length (skip_expr other v) < Suc v
which I also don't how to proof.
Could anyone how such cases solved (As I can understand there is some problem with two-level recursive call on rigth side of stack_op.Binary case)? Or maybe there is another way to make such skip?
Thanks in advance
The lexicographic_order method simply tries to solve the arising goals with the simplifier, so if the simplifier gets stuck you end up with unresolved termination subgoals.
In this case, as you identified correctly, the problem is that you have a nested recursive call skip_expr (skip_expr other). This is always problematic because at this stage, the simplifier knows nothing about what skip_expr does to the input list. For all we know, it might just return the list unmodified, or even a longer list, and then it surely would not terminate.
Confronting the issue head on
The solution is to show something about length (skip_expr …) and make that information available to the simplifier. Because we have not yet shown termination of the function, we have to use the skip_expr.psimps rules and the partial induction rule skip_expr.pinduct, i.e. every statement we make about skip_expr xs always has as a precondition that skip_expr actually terminates on the input xs. For this, there is the predicate skip_expr_dom.
Putting it all together, it looks like this:
lemma length_skip_expr [termination_simp]:
"skip_expr_dom xs ⟹ length (skip_expr xs) ≤ length xs"
by (induction xs rule: skip_expr.pinduct) (auto simp: skip_expr.psimps)
termination skip_expr by lexicographic_order
Circumventing the issue
Sometimes it can also be easier to circumvent the issue entirely. In your case, you could e.g. define a more general function skip_exprs that skips not just one instruction but n instructions. This you can define without nested induction:
fun skip_exprs :: "nat ⇒ stack_op list ⇒ stack_op list" where
"skip_exprs 0 xs = xs"
| "skip_exprs (Suc n) [] = []"
| "skip_exprs (Suc n) (Unary _ # other) = skip_exprs (Suc n) other"
| "skip_exprs (Suc n) (Binary _ # other) = skip_exprs (Suc (Suc n)) other"
| "skip_exprs (Suc n) (Value _ # other) = skip_exprs n other"
| "skip_exprs (Suc n) xs = xs"
Equivalence to your skip_expr is then straightforward to prove:
lemma skip_exprs_conv_skip_expr: "skip_exprs n xs = (skip_expr ^^ n) xs"
proof -
have [simp]: "(skip_expr ^^ n) [] = []" for n
by (induction n) auto
have [simp]: "(skip_expr ^^ n) (Other # xs) = Other # xs" for xs n
by (induction n) auto
show ?thesis
by (induction n xs rule: skip_exprs.induct)
(auto simp del: funpow.simps simp: funpow_Suc_right)
qed
lemma skip_expr_Suc_0 [simp]: "skip_exprs (Suc 0) xs = skip_expr xs"
by (simp add: skip_exprs_conv_skip_expr)
In your case, I don't think it actually makes sense to do this because figuring out the termination is fairly easy, but it may be good to keep in mind.

Isabelle structure proof

There is a set of some structures. I'm trying to prove that the cardinality of the set equals some number. Full theory is too long to post here. So here is a simplified one just to show the idea.
Let the objects (which I need to count) are sets containing natural numbers from 1 to n. The idea of the proof is as follows. I define a function which transforms sets to lists of 0 and 1. Here is the function and its inverse:
fun set_to_bitmap :: "nat set ⇒ nat ⇒ nat ⇒ nat list" where
"set_to_bitmap xs x 0 = []"
| "set_to_bitmap xs x (Suc n) =
(if x ∈ xs then Suc 0 else 0) # set_to_bitmap xs (Suc x) n"
fun bitmap_to_set :: "nat list ⇒ nat ⇒ nat set" where
"bitmap_to_set [] n = {}"
| "bitmap_to_set (x#xs) n =
(if x = Suc 0 then {n} else {}) ∪ bitmap_to_set xs (Suc n)"
value "set_to_bitmap {1,3,7,8} 1 8"
value "bitmap_to_set (set_to_bitmap {1,3,7,8} 1 8) 1"
Then I plan to prove that 1) a number of 0/1 lists with length n equals 2^^n,
2) the functions are bijections,
3) so the cardinality of the original set is 2^^n too.
Here are some auxiliary definitions and lemmas, which seems useful:
definition "valid_set xs n ≡ (∀a. a ∈ xs ⟶ 0 < a ∧ a ≤ n)"
definition "valid_bitmap ps n ≡ length ps = n ∧ set ps ⊆ {0, Suc 0}"
lemma length_set_to_bitmap:
"valid_set xs n ⟹
x = Suc 0 ⟹
length (set_to_bitmap xs x n) = n"
apply (induct xs x n rule: set_to_bitmap.induct)
apply simp
sorry
lemma bitmap_members:
"valid_set xs n ⟹
x = Suc 0 ⟹
set_to_bitmap xs x n = ps ⟹
set ps ⊆ {0, Suc 0}"
apply (induct xs x n arbitrary: ps rule: set_to_bitmap.induct)
apply simp
sorry
lemma valid_set_to_valid_bitmap:
"valid_set xs n ⟹
x = Suc 0 ⟹
set_to_bitmap xs x n = ps ⟹
valid_bitmap ps n"
unfolding valid_bitmap_def
using bitmap_members length_set_to_bitmap by auto
lemma valid_bitmap_to_valid_set:
"valid_bitmap ps n ⟹
x = Suc 0 ⟹
bitmap_to_set ps x = xs ⟹
valid_set xs n"
sorry
lemma set_to_bitmap_inj:
"valid_set xs n ⟹
valid_set xy n ⟹
x = Suc 0 ⟹
set_to_bitmap xs x n = ps ⟹
set_to_bitmap ys x n = qs ⟹
ps = qs ⟹
xs = ys"
sorry
lemma set_to_bitmap_surj:
"valid_bitmap ps n ⟹
x = Suc 0 ⟹
∃xs. set_to_bitmap xs x n = ps"
sorry
lemma bitmap_to_set_to_bitmap_id:
"valid_set xs n ⟹
x = Suc 0 ⟹
bitmap_to_set (set_to_bitmap xs x n) x = xs"
sorry
lemma set_to_bitmap_to_set_id:
"valid_bitmap ps n ⟹
x = Suc 0 ⟹
set_to_bitmap (bitmap_to_set ps x) x n = ps"
sorry
Here is a final lemma:
lemma valid_set_size:
"card {xs. valid_set xs n} = 2 ^^ n"
Does this approach seem valid? Are there any examples of such a proof? Could you suggest an idea on how to prove the lemmas? I'm stuck because the induction with set_to_bitmap.induct seems to be not applicable here.
In principle, that kind of approach does work: if you have a function f from a set A to a set B and an inverse function to it, you can prove bij_betw f A B (read: f is a bijection from A to B), and that then implies card A = card B.
However, there are a few comments that I have:
You should use bool lists instead of nat lists if you can only have 0 or 1 in them anyway.
It is usually better to use existing library functions than to define new ones yourself. Your two functions could be defined using library functions like this:
set_to_bitmap :: nat ⇒ nat ⇒ nat set ⇒ bool list
set_to_bitmap x n A = map (λi. i ∈ A) [x..<x+n]
bitmap_to_set :: nat ⇒ bool list ⇒ nat set
bitmap_to_set n xs = (λi. i + n) ` {i. i < length xs ∧ xs ! i}```
Side note: I would use upper-case letters for sets, not something like xs (which is usually used for lists).
Perhaps this is because you simplified your problem, but in its present form, valid_set A n is simply the same as A ⊆ {1..n} and the {A. valid_set A n} is simply Pow {1..n}. The cardinality of that is easy to show with results from the library:
lemma "card (Pow {1..(n::nat)}) = 2 ^ n"
by (simp add: card_Pow)`
As for your original questions: Your first few lemmas are provable, but for the induction to go through, you have to get rid of some of the unneeded assumptions first. The x = Suc 0 is the worst one – there is no way you can use induction if you have that as an assumption, because as soon as you do one induction step, you increase x by 1 and so you won't be able to apply your induction hypothesis. The following versions of your first three lemmas go through easily:
lemma length_set_to_bitmap:
"length (set_to_bitmap xs x n) = n"
by (induct xs x n rule: set_to_bitmap.induct) auto
lemma bitmap_members:
"set (set_to_bitmap xs x n) ⊆ {0, Suc 0}"
by (induct xs x n rule: set_to_bitmap.induct) auto
lemma valid_set_to_valid_bitmap: "valid_bitmap (set_to_bitmap xs x n) n"
unfolding valid_bitmap_def
using bitmap_members length_set_to_bitmap by auto
I also recommend not adding "abbreviations" like ps = set_to_bitmap xs x n as an assumption. It doesn't break anything, but it tends to complicate things needlessly.
The next lemma is a bit trickier. Due to your recursive definitions, you have to generalise the lemma first (valid_bitmap requires the set to be in the range from 1 to n, but once you make one induction step it has to be from 2 to n). The following works:
lemma valid_bitmap_to_valid_set_aux:
"bitmap_to_set ps x ⊆ {x..<x + length ps}"
by (induction ps x rule: bitmap_to_set.induct)
(auto simp: valid_bitmap_def valid_set_def)
lemma valid_bitmap_to_valid_set:
"valid_bitmap ps n ⟹ valid_set (bitmap_to_set ps 1) n"
using valid_bitmap_to_valid_set_aux unfolding valid_bitmap_def valid_set_def
by force
Injectivity and surjectivity (which is your ultimate goal) should follow from the fact that the two are inverse functions. Proving that will probably be doable with induction, but will require a few generalisations and auxiliary lemmas. It should be easier if you stick to the non-recursive definition using library functions that I sketched above.

How can I prove the lemma in Exercise 4.6 in “Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL”?

I am trying to solve Exercise 4.6 in “Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL”. It asks to define a function elems :: "'a list ⇒ 'a set" that converts a list into a set, and to prove the lemma "x ∈ elems xs ⟹ ∃ ys zs . xs = ys # x # zs ∧ x ∉ elems ys". Until now, I have come that far:
fun elems :: "'a list ⇒ 'a set" where
"elems [] = {}" |
"elems (x # xs) = {x} ∪ elems xs"
lemma first_occ: "x ∈ elems xs ⟹ ∃ ys zs . xs = ys # x # zs ∧ x ∉ elems ys"
proof (induction xs)
case Nil
thus ?case by simp
next
case (Cons u us)
show ?case
proof cases
assume "x = u"
thus ?case
proof
⟨…⟩
At this point, I get the error message “Failed to apply initial proof method”. This is strange, since the goal, ?case, is the proposition ∃ ys zs . u # us = ys # x # zs ∧ x ∉ elems ys, and it should be possible to prove existential propositions by showing the proposition under the ∃ for a specific witness.
the problem with your line proof is that it proof is meant to apply some default rule. In the above proof, Isabelle is not able to figure out that you want to perform existential introduction. So, you probably want to explicitly tell the system to do so, e.g., by continue with something like proof (intro exI).
I hope, this helps,

Firstly, you need the syntax for list enumeration (I just picked it up in the src/HOL/List.thy file):
syntax
-- {* list Enumeration *}
"_list" :: "args => 'a list" ("[(_)]")
translations
"[x, xs]" == "x#[xs]"
"[x]" == "x#[]"
Then, is one of the following what you're searching for ?
Proposition 1:
lemma example1: "rev [a, b] = [b, a]"
by simp
This lemma is proved by applying the definition rules of rev that are used by the method simp to rewrite the left-hand term and prove that the two sides of the equality are equal. This is the solution I prefer because you can see the example is satisfied even without evaluating it with Isabelle.
Proposition 2:
value "rev [a, b]" (* return "[b, a]" *)
Here and in Proposition 3, we just uses the command value to evaluate rev.
Proposition 3:
value "rev [a, b] = [b, a]" (* returns "True" *)
This lemma is not used by the previous propositions:
lemma rev_app [simp]: "rev(xs # ys) = (rev ys) # (rev xs)"
apply (induct_tac xs)
by simp_all
Notes:
As a general principle, you shouldn't import the "Datatype" package alone, but import "Main" instead.
In your 1st attempt you're mixing the "apply" (apply ...) and the "structured proof" (thus ...) styles
"thus ?aa" makes no sense if "?aa" is "[1,2]" as the argument of "thus" should be a subgoal, ie. a proposition with a boolean value.
To evaluate, the command "value" uses ML execution or if this fails, normalisation by evaluation.
In example1, you can use a custom proof and thus lemmas (for example: by (simp add:rev_app)

How to prove the reversion of a doubling function equals the doubling of a reversion function in Isabelle?

I have a function that doubles the elements of a list in the form
double [x1, x2, ...] = [x1, x1, x2, x2, ...]
namely
fun double :: " 'a list ⇒ 'a list"
where
"double [] = []" |
"double (x#xs) = x # x # double xs"
and a function that reverses the elements of a list with the help of another function snoc that adds an element to the right side of a list:
fun snoc :: "'a list ⇒ 'a ⇒ 'a list"
where
"snoc [] x = [x]" |
"snoc (y # ys) x = y # (snoc ys x)"
fun reverse :: "'a list ⇒ 'a list"
where
"reverse [] = []" |
"reverse (x # xs) = snoc (reverse xs) x"
Now I want to prove that
lemma rev_double: "rev (double xs) = double (rev xs)"
is true.
I tried to apply induction on xs
lemma rev_double: "rev (double xs) = double (rev xs)"
by (induction xs)
and I wrote an auxiliary lemma double_snoc that ensures that doubling a list is the same as doubling its first element and the rest of the list (which uses the function snocleft which inserts an element at the left end of a list)
fun snocleft::"'a list ⇒ 'a ⇒ 'a list "
where
"snocleft [] x = [x]" |
"snocleft (y # ys) x = x # (y # ys)"
lemma double_snoc: "double (snocleft xs y) = y # y # double xs"
by (induction xs) auto
I still haven't made any progress in proving the lemma. Do you have some solutions or hints on how to set up the prove?
You define your function as reverse, but in all of your lemmas, you use rev, referring to the pre-defined list reversal function rev.
What you mean is probably this:
lemma reverse_double: "reverse (double xs) = double (reverse xs)"
If you attempt to prove this by induction (with apply (induction xs)), you will get stuck in the induction case with the following goal:
snoc (snoc (double (reverse xs)) a) a =
double (snoc (reverse xs) a)
This should be intuitively obvious: if you first snoc and then double, it is the same as first doubling and then snoc-ing twice. So let's prove this as an auxiliary lemma:
lemma double_snoc: "double (snoc xs x) = snoc (snoc (double xs) x) x"
by (induction xs) auto
Now the proof of reverse_double goes through automatically:
lemma reverse_double: "reverse (double xs) = double (reverse xs)"
by (induction xs) (auto simp: double_snoc)
