+ Nominal Isabelle Tutorial at POPL'11
+ ====================================
+
+ Nominal Isabelle is a definitional extension of Isabelle/HOL, which
+ means it does not add any new axioms to higher-order logic. It just
+ adds new definitions and an infrastructure for 'nominal resoning'.
+
+
+ The jEdit Interface
+ -------------------
+
+ The Isabelle theorem prover comes with an interface for jEdit.
+ Unlike many other theorem prover interfaces (e.g. ProofGeneral) where you
+ advance a 'checked' region in a proof script, this interface immediately
+ checks the whole buffer. The text you type is also immediately checked.
+ Malformed text or unfinished proofs are highlighted in red with a little
+ red 'stop' signal on the left-hand side. If you drag the 'red-box' cursor
+ over a line, the Output window gives further feedback.
+
+ Note: If a section is not parsed correctly, the work-around is to cut it
+ out and paste it back into the text (cut-out: Ctrl + X; paste in: Ctrl + V;
+ Cmd is Ctrl on the Mac)
+
+ Nominal Isabelle and jEdit can be started by typing on the command line
+
+ isabelle jedit -l HOL-Nominal2
+ isabelle jedit -l HOL-Nominal2 A.thy B.thy ...
+
+
+ Symbols
+ -------
+
+ Symbols can considerably improve the readability of your statements and proofs.
+ They can be input by just typing 'name-of-symbol' where 'name-of-symbol' is the
+ usual latex name of that symbol. A little window will then appear in which
+ you can select the symbol. With `Escape' you can ignore any suggestion.
+
+ There are some handy short-cuts for frequently used symbols.
+ For example
+
+ short-cut symbol
+
+ => \<Rightarrow>
+ ==> \<Longrightarrow>
+ --> \<longrightarrow>
+ ! \<forall>
+ ? \<exists>
+ /\ \<and>
+ \/ \<or>
+ ~ \<not>
+ ~= \<noteq>
+ : \<in>
+ ~: \<notin>
+
+ For nominal the following two symbols have a special meaning
+
+ \<sharp> sharp (freshness)
+ \<bullet> bullet (permutation application)

+imports Lambda
+begin
+
+section {* Theories *}
+
+text {*
+ All formal developments in Isabelle are part of a theory. A theory
+ needs to have a name and must import some pre-existing theory. The
+ imported theory will normally be Nominal2 (which provides many useful
+ concepts like set-theory, lists, nominal things etc). For the purpose
+ of this tutorial we import the theory Lambda.thy, which contains
+ already some useful definitions for (alpha-equated) lambda terms.
+*}
+
+
+
+section {* Types *}
+
+text {*
+ Isabelle is based on simple types including some polymorphism. It also
+ includes overloading, which means that sometimes explicit type annotations
+ need to be given.
+
+ - Base types include: nat, bool, string, lam (defined in the Lambda theory)
+
+ - Type formers include: 'a list, ('a \<times> 'b), 'c set
+
+ - Type variables are written like in ML with an apostrophe: 'a, 'b, \<dots>
+
+ Types known to Isabelle can be queried using the command "typ".
+*}
+
+typ nat
+typ bool
+typ string
+typ lam -- {* alpha-equated lambda terms defined in Lambda.thy *}
+typ name -- {* type of (object) variables defined in Lambda.thy *}
+typ "('a \<times> 'b)" -- {* pair type *}
+typ "'c set" -- {* set type *}
+typ "'a list" -- {* list type *}
+typ "lam \<Rightarrow> nat" -- {* type of functions from lambda terms to natural numbers *}
+
+
+text {* Some malformed types - note the "stop" signal on the left margin *}
+
+(*
+typ boolean -- {* undeclared type *}
+typ set -- {* type argument missing *}
+*)
+
+
+section {* Terms *}
+
+text {*
+ Every term in Isabelle needs to be well-typed. However they can have
+ polymorphic type. Whether a term is accepted can be queried using
+ the command "term".
+*}
+
+term c -- {* a variable of polymorphic type *}
+term "1::nat" -- {* the constant 1 in natural numbers *}
+term 1 -- {* the constant 1 with polymorphic type *}
+term "{1, 2, 3::nat}" -- {* the set containing natural numbers 1, 2 and 3 *}
+term "[1, 2, 3]" -- {* the list containing the polymorphic numbers 1, 2 and 3 *}
+term "(True, ''c'')" -- {* a pair consisting of the boolean true and the string "c" *}
+term "Suc 0" -- {* successor of 0, in other words 1::nat *}
+term "Lam [x].Var x" -- {* a lambda-term *}
+term "App t1 t2" -- {* another lambda-term *}
+term "x::name" -- {* an (object) variable of type name *}
+term "atom (x::name)" -- {* atom is an overloded function *}
+
+text {*
+ Lam [x].Var is the syntax we made up for lambda abstractions. If you
+ prefer, you can have your own syntax (but \<lambda> is already taken up for
+ Isabelle's functions). We also came up with the type "name" for variables.
+ You can introduce your own types of object variables using the
+ command atom_decl:
+*}
+
+atom_decl ident
+atom_decl ty_var
+
+text {*
+ Isabelle provides some useful colour feedback about its constants (black),
+ free variables (blue) and bound variables (green).
+*}
+
+term "True" -- {* a constant defined somewhere...written in black *}
+term "true" -- {* not recognised as a constant, therefore it is interpreted
+ as a free variable, written in blue *}
+term "\<forall>x. P x" -- {* x is bound (green), P is free (blue) *}
+
+
+text {* Formulae in Isabelle/HOL are terms of type bool *}
+
+term "True"
+term "True \<and> False"
+term "True \<or> B"
+term "{1,2,3} = {3,2,1}"
+term "\<forall>x. P x"
+term "A \<longrightarrow> B"
+term "atom a \<sharp> t" -- {* freshness in Nominal *}
+
+text {*
+ When working with Isabelle, one deals with an object logic (that is HOL) and
+ Isabelle's rule framework (called Pure). Occasionally one has to pay attention
+ to this fact. But for the moment we ignore this completely.
+*}
+
+term "A \<longrightarrow> B" -- {* versus *}
+term "A \<Longrightarrow> B"
+
+term "\<forall>x. P x" -- {* versus *}
+term "\<And>x. P x"
+
+
+section {* Inductive Definitions: Evaluation Relation *}
+
+text {*
+ In this section we want to define inductively the evaluation
+ relation and for cbv-reduction relation.
+
+ Inductive definitions in Isabelle start with the keyword "inductive"
+ and a predicate name. One can optionally provide a type for the predicate.
+ Clauses of the inductive predicate are introduced by "where" and more than
+ two clauses need to be separated by "|". One can also give a name to each
+ clause and indicate that it should be added to the hints database ("[intro]").
+ A typical clause has some premises and a conclusion. This is written in
+ Isabelle as:
+
+ "premise \<Longrightarrow> conclusion"
+ "premise1 \<Longrightarrow> premise2 \<Longrightarrow> \<dots> premisen \<Longrightarrow> conclusion"
+
+ There is an alternative way of writing the latter clause as
+
+ "\<lbrakk>premise1; premise2; \<dots> premisen\<rbrakk> \<Longrightarrow> conclusion"
+
+ If no premise is present, then one just writes
+
+ "conclusion"
+
+ Below we give two definitions for the transitive closure
+*}
+
+inductive
+ eval :: "lam \<Rightarrow> lam \<Rightarrow> bool" ("_ \<Down> _" [60, 60] 60)
+where
+ e_Lam[intro]: "Lam [x].t \<Down> Lam [x].t"
+| e_App[intro]: "\<lbrakk>t1 \<Down> Lam [x].t; t2 \<Down> v'; t[x::=v'] \<Down> v\<rbrakk> \<Longrightarrow> App t1 t2 \<Down> v"
+
+text {*
+ Values and cbv are also defined using inductive.
+*}
+
+inductive
+ val :: "lam \<Rightarrow> bool"
+where
+ v_Lam[intro]: "val (Lam [x].t)"
+
+section {* Theorems *}
+
+text {*
+ A central concept in Isabelle is that of theorems. Isabelle's theorem
+ database can be queried using
+*}
+
+thm e_App
+thm e_Lam
+thm conjI
+thm conjunct1
+
+text {*
+ Notice that theorems usually contain schematic variables (e.g. ?P, ?Q, \<dots>).
+ These schematic variables can be substituted with any term (of the right type
+ of course).
+
+ When defining the predicates beta_star, Isabelle provides us automatically
+ with the following theorems that state how they can be introduced and what
+ constitutes an induction over them.
+*}
+
+thm eval.intros
+thm eval.induct
+
+
+section {* Lemmas / Theorems / Corollaries *}
+
+text {*
+ Whether to use lemma, theorem or corollary makes no semantic difference
+ in Isabelle.
+
+ A lemma starts with "lemma" and consists of a statement ("shows \<dots>") and
+ optionally a lemma name, some type-information for variables ("fixes \<dots>")
+ and some assumptions ("assumes \<dots>").
+
+ Lemmas also need to have a proof, but ignore this 'detail' for the moment.
+
+ Examples are
+*}
+
+lemma alpha_equ:
+ shows "Lam [x].Var x = Lam [y].Var y"
+ by (simp add: lam.eq_iff Abs1_eq_iff lam.fresh fresh_at_base)
+
+lemma Lam_freshness:
+ assumes a: "atom y \<sharp> Lam [x].t"
+ shows "(y = x) \<or> (y \<noteq> x \<and> atom y \<sharp> t)"
+ using a by (auto simp add: lam.fresh Abs_fresh_iff)
+
+lemma neutral_element:
+ fixes x::"nat"
+ shows "x + 0 = x"
+ by simp
+
+text {*
+ Note that in the last statement, the explicit type annotation is important
+ in order for Isabelle to be able to figure out what 0 stands for (e.g. a
+ natural number, a vector, etc) and which lemmas to apply.
+*}
+
+
+section {* Isar Proofs *}
+
+text {*
+ Isar is a language for writing formal proofs that can be understood by humans
+ and by Isabelle. An Isar proof can be thought of as a sequence of 'stepping stones'
+ that start with some assumptions and lead to the goal to be established. Every such
+ stepping stone is introduced by "have" followed by the statement of the stepping
+ stone. An exception is the goal to be proved, which need to be introduced with "show".
+
+ have "statement" \<dots>
+ show "goal_to_be_proved" \<dots>
+
+ Since proofs usually do not proceed in a linear fashion, labels can be given
+ to every stepping stone and they can be used later to explicitly refer to this
+ corresponding stepping stone ("using").
+
+ have label: "statement1" \<dots>
+ \<dots>
+ have "later_statement" using label \<dots>
+
+ Each stepping stone (or have-statement) needs to have a justification. The
+ simplest justification is "sorry" which admits any stepping stone, even false
+ ones (this is good during the development of proofs).
+
+ have "outrageous_false_statement" sorry
+
+ Assumptions can be 'justified' using "by fact".
+
+ have "assumption" by fact
+
+ Derived facts can be justified using
+
+ have "statement" by simp -- simplification
+ have "statement" by auto -- proof search and simplification
+ have "statement" by blast -- only proof search
+
+ If facts or lemmas are needed in order to justify a have-statement, then
+ one can feed these facts into the proof by using "using label \<dots>" or
+ "using theorem-name \<dots>". More than one label at a time is allowed. For
+ example
+
+ have "statement" using label1 label2 theorem_name by auto
+
+ Induction proofs in Isar are set up by indicating over which predicate(s)
+ the induction proceeds ("using a b") followed by the command "proof (induct)".
+ In this way, Isabelle uses defaults for which induction should be performed.
+ These defaults can be overridden by giving more information, like the variable
+ over which a structural induction should proceed, or a specific induction principle,
+ such as well-founded inductions.
+
+ After the induction is set up, the proof proceeds by cases. In Isar these
+ cases can be given in any order. Most commonly they are started with "case" and the
+ name of the case, and optionally some legible names for the variables used inside
+ the case.
+
+ In each "case", we need to establish a statement introduced by "show". Once
+ this has been done, the next case can be started using "next". When all cases
+ are completed, the proof can be finished using "qed".
+
+ This means a typical induction proof has the following pattern
+
+ proof (induct)
+ case \<dots>
+ \<dots>
+ show \<dots>
+ next
+ case \<dots>
+ \<dots>
+ show \<dots>
+ \<dots>
+ qed
+
+ Two very simple example proofs are as follows.

+section {* Datatypes: Evaluation Contexts*}
+
+text {*
+ Datatypes can be defined in Isabelle as follows: we have to provide the name
+ of the datatype and a list its type-constructors. Each type-constructor needs

+ to write "\<box>" for holes.
