\noindent
One might think quotients have been studied to death, but in the context of
theorem provers many questions concerning them are far from settled. In
this paper we address the question of how to establish a convenient reasoning
infrastructure
for quotient constructions in the Isabelle/HOL,
theorem prover. Higher-Order Logic (HOL) consists
of a small number of axioms and inference rules over a simply-typed
term-language. Safe reasoning in HOL is ensured by two very restricted
mechanisms for extending the logic: one is the definition of new constants
in terms of existing ones; the other is the introduction of new types by
identifying non-empty subsets in existing types. Previous work has shown how
to use both mechanisms for dealing with quotient constructions in HOL (see
\cite{Homeier05,Paulson06}). For example the integers in Isabelle/HOL are
constructed by a quotient construction over the type @{typ "nat \<times> nat"} and
the equivalence relation
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "(n\<^isub>1, n\<^isub>2) \<approx> (m\<^isub>1, m\<^isub>2) \<equiv> n\<^isub>1 + m\<^isub>2 = m\<^isub>1 + n\<^isub>2"}\hfill\numbered{natpairequiv}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
This constructions yields the new type @{typ int} and definitions for @{text
"0"} and @{text "1"} of type @{typ int} can be given in terms of pairs of
natural numbers (namely @{text "(0, 0)"} and @{text "(1, 0)"}). Operations
such as @{text "add"} with type @{typ "int \<Rightarrow> int \<Rightarrow> int"} can be defined in
terms of operations on pairs of natural numbers (namely @{text
"add_pair (n\<^isub>1, m\<^isub>1) (n\<^isub>2,
m\<^isub>2) \<equiv> (n\<^isub>1 + n\<^isub>2, m\<^isub>1 + m\<^isub>2)"}).
Similarly one can construct the type of finite sets, written @{term "\<alpha> fset"},
by quotienting the type @{text "\<alpha> list"} according to the equivalence relation
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "xs \<approx> ys \<equiv> (\<forall>x. memb x xs \<longleftrightarrow> memb x ys)"}\hfill\numbered{listequiv}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
which states that two lists are equivalent if every element in one list is
also member in the other. The empty finite set, written @{term "{||}"}, can
then be defined as the empty list and the union of two finite sets, written
@{text "\<union>"}, as list append.
Quotients are important in a variety of areas, but they are really ubiquitous in
the area of reasoning about programming language calculi. A simple example
is the lambda-calculus, whose raw terms are defined as
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "t ::= x | t t | \<lambda>x.t"}\hfill\numbered{lambda}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
The problem with this definition arises, for instance, when one attempts to
prove formally the substitution lemma \cite{Barendregt81} by induction
over the structure of terms. This can be fiendishly complicated (see
\cite[Pages 94--104]{CurryFeys58} for some ``rough'' sketches of a proof
about raw lambda-terms). In contrast, if we reason about
$\alpha$-equated lambda-terms, that means terms quotient according to
$\alpha$-equivalence, then the reasoning infrastructure provided,
for example, by Nominal Isabelle %\cite{UrbanKaliszyk11}
makes the formal
proof of the substitution lemma almost trivial.
The difficulty is that in order to be able to reason about integers, finite
sets or $\alpha$-equated lambda-terms one needs to establish a reasoning
infrastructure by transferring, or \emph{lifting}, definitions and theorems
from the raw type @{typ "nat \<times> nat"} to the quotient type @{typ int}
(similarly for finite sets and $\alpha$-equated lambda-terms). This lifting
usually requires a \emph{lot} of tedious reasoning effort \cite{Paulson06}.
In principle it is feasible to do this work manually, if one has only a few quotient
constructions at hand. But if they have to be done over and over again, as in
Nominal Isabelle, then manual reasoning is not an option.
The purpose of a \emph{quotient package} is to ease the lifting of theorems
and automate the reasoning as much as possible. In the
context of HOL, there have been a few quotient packages already
\cite{harrison-thesis,Slotosch97}. The most notable one is by Homeier
\cite{Homeier05} implemented in HOL4. The fundamental construction these
quotient packages perform can be illustrated by the following picture:
%%% FIXME: Referee 1 says:
%%% Diagram is unclear. Firstly, isn't an existing type a "set (not sets) of raw elements"?
%%% Secondly, isn't the _set of_ equivalence classes mapped to and from the new type?
%%% Thirdly, what do the words "non-empty subset" refer to ?
%%% Cezary: I like the diagram, maybe 'new type' could be outside, but otherwise
%%% I wouldn't change it.

\draw (-0.95, 0.26) node[below=0.4mm] {@{text Abs}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
\noindent
The starting point is an existing type, to which we refer as the
\emph{raw type} and over which an equivalence relation given by the user is
defined. With this input the package introduces a new type, to which we
refer as the \emph{quotient type}. This type comes with an
\emph{abstraction} and a \emph{representation} function, written @{text Abs}
and @{text Rep}.\footnote{Actually slightly more basic functions are given;
the functions @{text Abs} and @{text Rep} need to be derived from them. We
will show the details later. } They relate elements in the
existing type to elements in the new type and vice versa, and can be uniquely
identified by their quotient type. For example for the integer quotient construction
the types of @{text Abs} and @{text Rep} are
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "Abs :: nat \<times> nat \<Rightarrow> int"}\hspace{10mm}@{text "Rep :: int \<Rightarrow> nat \<times> nat"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
We therefore often write @{text Abs_int} and @{text Rep_int} if the
typing information is important.
Every abstraction and representation function stands for an isomorphism
between the non-empty subset and elements in the new type. They are
necessary for making definitions involving the new type. For example @{text
"0"} and @{text "1"} of type @{typ int} can be defined as
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "0 \<equiv> Abs_int (0, 0)"}\hspace{10mm}@{text "1 \<equiv> Abs_int (1, 0)"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
Slightly more complicated is the definition of @{text "add"} having type
@{typ "int \<Rightarrow> int \<Rightarrow> int"}. Its definition is as follows
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "add n m \<equiv> Abs_int (add_pair (Rep_int n) (Rep_int m))"}
\hfill\numbered{adddef}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
where we take the representation of the arguments @{text n} and @{text m},
add them according to the function @{text "add_pair"} and then take the
abstraction of the result. This is all straightforward and the existing
quotient packages can deal with such definitions. But what is surprising is
that none of them can deal with slightly more complicated definitions involving
\emph{compositions} of quotients. Such compositions are needed for example
in case of quotienting lists to yield finite sets and the operator that
flattens lists of lists, defined as follows
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{thm concat.simps(1)[THEN eq_reflection]}\hspace{10mm}
@{thm concat.simps(2)[THEN eq_reflection, no_vars]}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
where @{text "@"} is the usual list append. We expect that the corresponding
operator on finite sets, written @{term "fconcat"},
builds finite unions of finite sets:
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{thm fconcat_empty[THEN eq_reflection, no_vars]}\hspace{10mm}
@{thm fconcat_insert[THEN eq_reflection, no_vars]}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
The quotient package should automatically provide us with a definition for @{text "\<Union>"} in
terms of @{text flat}, @{text Rep_fset} and @{text Abs_fset}. The problem is
that the method used in the existing quotient
packages of just taking the representation of the arguments and then taking
the abstraction of the result is \emph{not} enough. The reason is that in case
of @{text "\<Union>"} we obtain the incorrect definition
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "\<Union> S \<equiv> Abs_fset (flat (Rep_fset S))"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
where the right-hand side is not even typable! This problem can be remedied in the
existing quotient packages by introducing an intermediate step and reasoning
about flattening of lists of finite sets. However, this remedy is rather
cumbersome and inelegant in light of our work, which can deal with such
definitions directly. The solution is that we need to build aggregate
representation and abstraction functions, which in case of @{text "\<Union>"}
generate the following definition
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "\<Union> S \<equiv> Abs_fset (flat ((map_list Rep_fset \<circ> Rep_fset) S))"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
where @{term map_list} is the usual mapping function for lists. In this paper we
will present a formal definition of our aggregate abstraction and
representation functions (this definition was omitted in \cite{Homeier05}).
They generate definitions, like the one above for @{text "\<Union>"},
according to the type of the raw constant and the type
of the quotient constant. This means we also have to extend the notions
of \emph{aggregate equivalence relation}, \emph{respectfulness} and \emph{preservation}
from Homeier \cite{Homeier05}.
In addition we are able to clearly specify what is involved
in the lifting process (this was only hinted at in \cite{Homeier05} and
implemented as a ``rough recipe'' in ML-code). A pleasing side-result
is that our procedure for lifting theorems is completely deterministic
following the structure of the theorem being lifted and the theorem
on the quotient level. Space constraints, unfortunately, allow us to only
sketch this part of our work in Section 5 and we defer the reader to a longer
version for the details. However, we will give in Section 3 and 4 all
definitions that specify the input and output data of our three-step
lifting procedure. Section 6 gives an example how our quotient package
works in practise.

section {* Preliminaries and General\\ Quotients\label{sec:prelims} *}
text {*
\noindent
We will give in this section a crude overview of HOL and describe the main
definitions given by Homeier for quotients \cite{Homeier05}.
At its core, HOL is based on a simply-typed term language, where types are
recorded in Church-style fashion (that means, we can always infer the type of
a term and its subterms without any additional information). The grammars
for types and terms are
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
\begin{tabular}{@ {}c@ {\hspace{10mm}}c@ {}}
@{text "\<sigma>, \<tau> ::= \<alpha> | (\<sigma>,\<dots>, \<sigma>) \<kappa>"} &
@{text "t, s ::= x\<^isup>\<sigma> | c\<^isup>\<sigma> | t t | \<lambda>x\<^isup>\<sigma>. t"}\\
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
with types being either type variables or type constructors and terms
being variables, constants, applications or abstractions.
We often write just @{text \<kappa>} for @{text "() \<kappa>"}, and use @{text "\<alpha>s"} and
@{text "\<sigma>s"} to stand for collections of type variables and types,
respectively. The type of a term is often made explicit by writing @{text
"t :: \<sigma>"}. HOL includes a type @{typ bool} for booleans and the function
type, written @{text "\<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<tau>"}. HOL also contains many primitive and defined
constants; for example, a primitive constant is equality, with type @{text "= :: \<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<sigma> \<Rightarrow>
bool"}, and the identity function with type @{text "id :: \<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<sigma>"} is
defined as @{text "\<lambda>x\<^sup>\<sigma>. x\<^sup>\<sigma>"}.
An important point to note is that theorems in HOL can be seen as a subset
of terms that are constructed specially (namely through axioms and proof
rules). As a result we are able to define automatic proof
procedures showing that one theorem implies another by decomposing the term
underlying the first theorem.
Like Homeier's, our work relies on map-functions defined for every type
constructor taking some arguments, for example @{text map_list} for lists. Homeier
describes in \cite{Homeier05} map-functions for products, sums, options and
also the following map for function types
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{thm fun_map_def[no_vars, THEN eq_reflection]}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
Using this map-function, we can give the following, equivalent, but more
uniform definition for @{text add} shown in \eqref{adddef}:
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "add \<equiv> (Rep_int \<singlearr> Rep_int \<singlearr> Abs_int) add_pair"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
Using extensionality and unfolding the definition of @{text "\<singlearr>"},
we can get back to \eqref{adddef}.
In what follows we shall use the convention to write @{text "map_\<kappa>"} for a map-function
of the type-constructor @{text \<kappa>}. For a type @{text \<kappa>} with arguments @{text "\<alpha>\<^isub>1\<^isub>\<dots>\<^isub>n"} the
type of the function @{text "map_\<kappa>"} has to be @{text "\<alpha>\<^isub>1\<Rightarrow>\<dots>\<Rightarrow>\<alpha>\<^isub>n\<Rightarrow>\<alpha>\<^isub>1\<dots>\<alpha>\<^isub>n \<kappa>"}.
For example @{text "map_list"}
has to have the type @{text "\<alpha>\<Rightarrow>\<alpha> list"}.
In our implementation we maintain
a database of these map-functions that can be dynamically extended.
It will also be necessary to have operators, referred to as @{text "rel_\<kappa>"},
which define equivalence relations in terms of constituent equivalence
relations. For example given two equivalence relations @{text "R\<^isub>1"}
and @{text "R\<^isub>2"}, we can define an equivalence relations over
products as follows
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "(R\<^isub>1 \<tripple> R\<^isub>2) (x\<^isub>1, x\<^isub>2) (y\<^isub>1, y\<^isub>2) \<equiv> R\<^isub>1 x\<^isub>1 y\<^isub>1 \<and> R\<^isub>2 x\<^isub>2 y\<^isub>2"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
Homeier gives also the following operator for defining equivalence
relations over function types
%
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{thm fun_rel_def[of "R\<^isub>1" "R\<^isub>2", no_vars, THEN eq_reflection]}
\hfill\numbered{relfun}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
In the context of quotients, the following two notions from \cite{Homeier05}
are needed later on.
\begin{definition}[Respects]\label{def:respects}
An element @{text "x"} respects a relation @{text "R"} provided @{text "R x x"}.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Bounded $\forall$ and $\lambda$]\label{def:babs}
@{text "\<forall>x \<in> S. P x"} holds if for all @{text x}, @{text "x \<in> S"} implies @{text "P x"};
and @{text "(\<lambda>x \<in> S. f x) = f x"} provided @{text "x \<in> S"}.
\end{definition}
The central definition in Homeier's work \cite{Homeier05} relates equivalence
relations, abstraction and representation functions:
\begin{definition}[Quotient Types]
Given a relation $R$, an abstraction function $Abs$
and a representation function $Rep$, the predicate @{term "Quotient R Abs Rep"}
holds if and only if
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%%
\begin{tabular}{rl}
(i) & \begin{isa}@{thm (rhs1) Quotient_def[of "R", no_vars]}\end{isa}\\
(ii) & \begin{isa}@{thm (rhs2) Quotient_def[of "R", no_vars]}\end{isa}\\
(iii) & \begin{isa}@{thm (rhs3) Quotient_def[of "R", no_vars]}\end{isa}\\
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
\end{definition}
\noindent
The value of this definition lies in the fact that validity of @{term "Quotient R Abs Rep"} can
often be proved in terms of the validity of @{term "Quot"} over the constituent
types of @{text "R"}, @{text Abs} and @{text Rep}.
For example Homeier proves the following property for higher-order quotient
types:
\begin{proposition}\label{funquot}
\begin{isa}
@{thm[mode=IfThen] fun_quotient[where ?R1.0="R\<^isub>1" and ?R2.0="R\<^isub>2"
and ?abs1.0="Abs\<^isub>1" and ?abs2.0="Abs\<^isub>2" and ?rep1.0="Rep\<^isub>1" and ?rep2.0="Rep\<^isub>2"]}
\end{isa}
\end{proposition}
\noindent
As a result, Homeier is able to build an automatic prover that can nearly
always discharge a proof obligation involving @{text "Quot"}. Our quotient
package makes heavy
use of this part of Homeier's work including an extension
for dealing with \emph{conjugations} of equivalence relations\footnote{That are
symmetric by definition.} defined as follows:
%%% FIXME Referee 2 claims that composition-of-relations means OO, and this is also
%%% what wikipedia says. Any idea for a different name? Conjugation of Relations?
\begin{definition}%%[Composition of Relations]
@{abbrev "rel_conj R\<^isub>1 R\<^isub>2"} where @{text "\<circ>\<circ>"} is the predicate
composition defined by
@{thm (concl) pred_compI[of "R\<^isub>1" "x" "y" "R\<^isub>2" "z"]}
holds if and only if there exists a @{text y} such that @{thm (prem 1) pred_compI[of "R\<^isub>1" "x" "y" "R\<^isub>2" "z"]} and
@{thm (prem 2) pred_compI[of "R\<^isub>1" "x" "y" "R\<^isub>2" "z"]}.
\end{definition}
\noindent
Unfortunately a general quotient theorem for @{text "\<circ>\<circ>\<circ>"}, analogous to the one
for @{text "\<singlearr>"} given in Proposition \ref{funquot}, would not be true
in general. It cannot even be stated inside HOL, because of restrictions on types.
However, we can prove specific instances of a
quotient theorem for composing particular quotient relations.
For example, to lift theorems involving @{term flat} the quotient theorem for
composing @{text "\<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub>"} will be necessary: given @{term "Quotient R Abs Rep"}
with @{text R} being an equivalence relation, then
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
\begin{tabular}{r@ {\hspace{1mm}}l}
@{text "Quot"} & @{text "(rel_list R \<circ>\<circ>\<circ> \<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub>)"}\\
& @{text "(Abs_fset \<circ> map_list Abs)"}\\
& @{text "(map_list Rep \<circ> Rep_fset)"}\\
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
*}
section {* Quotient Types and Quotient\\ Definitions\label{sec:type} *}
text {*
\noindent
The first step in a quotient construction is to take a name for the new
type, say @{text "\<kappa>\<^isub>q"}, and an equivalence relation, say @{text R},
defined over a raw type, say @{text "\<sigma>"}. The type of the equivalence
relation must be @{text "\<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<sigma> \<Rightarrow> bool"}. The user-visible part of
the quotient type declaration is therefore
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
\isacommand{quotient\_type}~~@{text "\<alpha>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q = \<sigma> / R"}\hfill\numbered{typedecl}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
and a proof that @{text "R"} is indeed an equivalence relation. The @{text "\<alpha>s"}
indicate the arity of the new type and the type-variables of @{text "\<sigma>"} can only
be contained in @{text "\<alpha>s"}. Two concrete
examples are
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
\begin{tabular}{@ {}l}
\isacommand{quotient\_type}~~@{text "int = nat \<times> nat / \<approx>\<^bsub>nat \<times> nat\<^esub>"}\\
\isacommand{quotient\_type}~~@{text "\<alpha> fset = \<alpha> list / \<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub>"}
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
which introduce the type of integers and of finite sets using the
equivalence relations @{text "\<approx>\<^bsub>nat \<times> nat\<^esub>"} and @{text
"\<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub>"} defined in \eqref{natpairequiv} and
\eqref{listequiv}, respectively (the proofs about being equivalence
relations is omitted). Given this data, we define for declarations shown in
\eqref{typedecl} the quotient types internally as
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
\isacommand{typedef}~~@{text "\<alpha>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q = {c. \<exists>x. c = R x}"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
where the right-hand side is the (non-empty) set of equivalence classes of
@{text "R"}. The constraint in this declaration is that the type variables
in the raw type @{text "\<sigma>"} must be included in the type variables @{text
"\<alpha>s"} declared for @{text "\<kappa>\<^isub>q"}. HOL will then provide us with the following
abstraction and representation functions
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "abs_\<kappa>\<^isub>q :: \<sigma> set \<Rightarrow> \<alpha>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q"}\hspace{10mm}@{text "rep_\<kappa>\<^isub>q :: \<alpha>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q \<Rightarrow> \<sigma> set"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
As can be seen from the type, they relate the new quotient type and equivalence classes of the raw
type. However, as Homeier \cite{Homeier05} noted, it is much more convenient
to work with the following derived abstraction and representation functions
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "Abs_\<kappa>\<^isub>q x \<equiv> abs_\<kappa>\<^isub>q (R x)"}\hspace{10mm}@{text "Rep_\<kappa>\<^isub>q x \<equiv> \<epsilon> (rep_\<kappa>\<^isub>q x)"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
on the expense of having to use Hilbert's choice operator @{text "\<epsilon>"} in the
definition of @{text "Rep_\<kappa>\<^isub>q"}. These derived notions relate the
quotient type and the raw type directly, as can be seen from their type,
namely @{text "\<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<alpha>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q"} and @{text "\<alpha>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q \<Rightarrow> \<sigma>"},
respectively. Given that @{text "R"} is an equivalence relation, the
following property holds for every quotient type
(for the proof see \cite{Homeier05}).
\begin{proposition}
\begin{isa}@{term "Quotient R Abs_\<kappa>\<^isub>q Rep_\<kappa>\<^isub>q"}.\end{isa}
\end{proposition}
The next step in a quotient construction is to introduce definitions of new constants
involving the quotient type. These definitions need to be given in terms of concepts
of the raw type (remember this is the only way how to extend HOL
with new definitions). For the user the visible part of such definitions is the declaration
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
\isacommand{quotient\_definition}~~@{text "c :: \<tau>"}~~\isacommand{is}~~@{text "t :: \<sigma>"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
where @{text t} is the definiens (its type @{text \<sigma>} can always be inferred)
and @{text "c"} is the name of definiendum, whose type @{text "\<tau>"} needs to be
given explicitly (the point is that @{text "\<tau>"} and @{text "\<sigma>"} can only differ
in places where a quotient and raw type is involved). Two concrete examples are
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
\begin{tabular}{@ {}l}
\isacommand{quotient\_definition}~~@{text "0 :: int"}~~\isacommand{is}~~@{text "(0::nat, 0::nat)"}\\
\isacommand{quotient\_definition}~~@{text "\<Union> :: (\<alpha> fset) fset \<Rightarrow> \<alpha> fset"}~~%
\isacommand{is}~~@{text "flat"}
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
The first one declares zero for integers and the second the operator for
building unions of finite sets (@{text "flat"} having the type
@{text "(\<alpha> list) list \<Rightarrow> \<alpha> list"}).
From such declarations given by the user, the quotient package needs to derive proper
definitions using @{text "Abs"} and @{text "Rep"}. The data we rely on is the given quotient type
@{text "\<tau>"} and the raw type @{text "\<sigma>"}. They allow us to define \emph{aggregate
abstraction} and \emph{representation functions} using the functions @{text "ABS (\<sigma>,
\<tau>)"} and @{text "REP (\<sigma>, \<tau>)"} whose clauses we shall give below. The idea behind
these two functions is to simultaneously descend into the raw types @{text \<sigma>} and
quotient types @{text \<tau>}, and generate the appropriate
@{text "Abs"} and @{text "Rep"} in places where the types differ. Therefore
we generate just the identity whenever the types are equal. On the ``way'' down,
however we might have to use map-functions to let @{text Abs} and @{text Rep} act
over the appropriate types. In what follows we use the short-hand notation
@{text "ABS (\<sigma>s, \<tau>s)"} to mean @{text "ABS (\<sigma>\<^isub>1, \<tau>\<^isub>1)\<dots>ABS (\<sigma>\<^isub>n, \<tau>\<^isub>n)"}; similarly
for @{text REP}.

\noindent
In the last two clauses are subtle. We rely in them on the fact that the type @{text "\<alpha>s
\<kappa>\<^isub>q"} is the quotient of the raw type @{text "\<rho>s \<kappa>"} (for example
@{text "int"} and @{text "nat \<times> nat"}, or @{text "\<alpha> fset"} and @{text "\<alpha>
list"}). This data is given by declarations shown in \eqref{typedecl}.
The quotient construction ensures that the type variables in @{text
"\<rho>s \<kappa>"} must be among the @{text "\<alpha>s"}. The @{text "\<sigma>s'"} are given by the
substitutions for the @{text "\<alpha>s"} when matching @{text "\<sigma>s \<kappa>"} against
@{text "\<rho>s \<kappa>"}. This calculation determines what are the types in place
of the type variables @{text "\<alpha>s"} in the instance of
quotient type @{text "\<alpha>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q"}---namely @{text "\<tau>s"}, and the corresponding
types in place of the @{text "\<alpha>s"} in the raw type @{text "\<rho>s \<kappa>"}---namely @{text "\<sigma>s'"}. The
function @{text "MAP"} calculates an \emph{aggregate map-function} for a raw
type as follows:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{r@ {\hspace{1mm}}c@ {\hspace{1mm}}l}
@{text "MAP' (\<alpha>)"} & $\dn$ & @{text "a\<^sup>\<alpha>"}\\
@{text "MAP' (\<kappa>)"} & $\dn$ & @{text "id :: \<kappa> \<Rightarrow> \<kappa>"}\\
@{text "MAP' (\<sigma>s \<kappa>)"} & $\dn$ & @{text "map_\<kappa> (MAP'(\<sigma>s))"}\smallskip\\
@{text "MAP (\<sigma>)"} & $\dn$ & @{text "\<lambda>as. MAP'(\<sigma>)"}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
\noindent
In this definition we rely on the fact that in the first clause we can interpret type-variables @{text \<alpha>} as
term variables @{text a}. In the last clause we build an abstraction over all
term-variables of the map-function generated by the auxiliary function
@{text "MAP'"}.
The need for aggregate map-functions can be seen in cases where we build quotients,
say @{text "(\<alpha>, \<beta>) \<kappa>\<^isub>q"}, out of compound raw types, say @{text "(\<alpha> list) \<times> \<beta>"}.
In this case @{text MAP} generates the
aggregate map-function:
%%% FIXME: Reviewer 2 asks: last two lines defining ABS and REP for
%%% unequal type constructors: How are the $\varrho$s defined? The
%%% following paragraph mentions them, but this paragraph is unclear,
%%% since it then mentions $\alpha$s, which do not seem to be defined
%%% either. As a result, I do not understand the first two sentences
%%% in this paragraph. I can imagine roughly what the following
%%% sentence `The $\sigma$s' are given by the matchers for the

%%% $\kappa$.' means, but also think that it is too vague.
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "\<lambda>a b. map_prod (map_list a) b"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
which is essential in order to define the corresponding aggregate
abstraction and representation functions.
To see how these definitions pan out in practise, let us return to our
example about @{term "concat"} and @{term "fconcat"}, where we have the raw type
@{text "(\<alpha> list) list \<Rightarrow> \<alpha> list"} and the quotient type @{text "(\<alpha> fset) fset \<Rightarrow> \<alpha>
fset"}. Feeding these types into @{text ABS} gives us (after some @{text "\<beta>"}-simplifications)
the abstraction function
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ %%%
\begin{tabular}{l}
@{text "(map_list (map_list id \<circ> Rep_fset) \<circ> Rep_fset) \<singlearr>"}\\
\mbox{}\hspace{4.5cm}@{text " Abs_fset \<circ> map_list id"}
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
In our implementation we further
simplify this function by rewriting with the usual laws about @{text
"map"}s and @{text "id"}, for example @{term "map_list id = id"} and @{text "f \<circ> id =
id \<circ> f = f"}. This gives us the simpler abstraction function
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "(map_list Rep_fset \<circ> Rep_fset) \<singlearr> Abs_fset"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
which we can use for defining @{term "fconcat"} as follows
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "\<Union> \<equiv> ((map_list Rep_fset \<circ> Rep_fset) \<singlearr> Abs_fset) flat"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
Note that by using the operator @{text "\<singlearr>"} and special clauses
for function types in \eqref{ABSREP}, we do not have to
distinguish between arguments and results, but can deal with them uniformly.
Consequently, all definitions in the quotient package
are of the general form
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "c \<equiv> ABS (\<sigma>, \<tau>) t"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
where @{text \<sigma>} is the type of the definiens @{text "t"} and @{text "\<tau>"} the
type of the defined quotient constant @{text "c"}. This data can be easily
generated from the declaration given by the user.
To increase the confidence in this way of making definitions, we can prove
that the terms involved are all typable.
\begin{lemma}
If @{text "ABS (\<sigma>, \<tau>)"} returns some abstraction function @{text "Abs"}
and @{text "REP (\<sigma>, \<tau>)"} some representation function @{text "Rep"},
then @{text "Abs"} is of type @{text "\<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<tau>"} and @{text "Rep"} of type
@{text "\<tau> \<Rightarrow> \<sigma>"}.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
By mutual induction and analysing the definitions of @{text "ABS"} and @{text "REP"}.
The cases of equal types and function types are
straightforward (the latter follows from @{text "\<singlearr>"} having the
type @{text "(\<alpha> \<Rightarrow> \<beta>) \<Rightarrow> (\<gamma> \<Rightarrow> \<delta>) \<Rightarrow> (\<beta> \<Rightarrow> \<gamma>) \<Rightarrow> (\<alpha> \<Rightarrow> \<delta>)"}). In case of equal type
constructors we can observe that a map-function after applying the functions
@{text "ABS (\<sigma>s, \<tau>s)"} produces a term of type @{text "\<sigma>s \<kappa> \<Rightarrow> \<tau>s \<kappa>"}. The
interesting case is the one with unequal type constructors. Since we know
the quotient is between @{text "\<alpha>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q"} and @{text "\<rho>s \<kappa>"}, we have
that @{text "Abs_\<kappa>\<^isub>q"} is of type @{text "\<rho>s \<kappa> \<Rightarrow> \<alpha>s
\<kappa>\<^isub>q"}. This type can be more specialised to @{text "\<rho>s[\<tau>s] \<kappa> \<Rightarrow> \<tau>s
\<kappa>\<^isub>q"} where the type variables @{text "\<alpha>s"} are instantiated with the
@{text "\<tau>s"}. The complete type can be calculated by observing that @{text
"MAP (\<rho>s \<kappa>)"}, after applying the functions @{text "ABS (\<sigma>s', \<tau>s)"} to it,
returns a term of type @{text "\<rho>s[\<sigma>s'] \<kappa> \<Rightarrow> \<rho>s[\<tau>s] \<kappa>"}. This type is
equivalent to @{text "\<sigma>s \<kappa> \<Rightarrow> \<rho>s[\<tau>s] \<kappa>"}, which we just have to compose with
@{text "\<rho>s[\<tau>s] \<kappa> \<Rightarrow> \<tau>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q"} according to the type of @{text "\<circ>"}.\qed
\end{proof}

section {* Respectfulness and\\ Preservation \label{sec:resp} *}
text {*
\noindent
The main point of the quotient package is to automatically ``lift'' theorems
involving constants over the raw type to theorems involving constants over
the quotient type. Before we can describe this lifting process, we need to impose
two restrictions in form of proof obligations that arise during the
lifting. The reason is that even if definitions for all raw constants
can be given, \emph{not} all theorems can be lifted to the quotient type. Most
notable is the bound variable function, that is the constant @{text bn}, defined
for raw lambda-terms as follows
\begin{isabelle}
\begin{center}
@{text "bn (x) \<equiv> \<emptyset>"}\hspace{4mm}
@{text "bn (t\<^isub>1 t\<^isub>2) \<equiv> bn (t\<^isub>1) \<union> bn (t\<^isub>2)"}\smallskip\\
@{text "bn (\<lambda>x. t) \<equiv> {x} \<union> bn (t)"}
\end{center}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
We can generate a definition for this constant using @{text ABS} and @{text REP}.
But this constant does \emph{not} respect @{text "\<alpha>"}-equivalence and
consequently no theorem involving this constant can be lifted to @{text
"\<alpha>"}-equated lambda terms. Homeier formulates the restrictions in terms of
the properties of \emph{respectfulness} and \emph{preservation}. We have
to slightly extend Homeier's definitions in order to deal with quotient
compositions.
%%% FIXME: Reviewer 3 asks why are the definitions that follow enough to deal
%%% with quotient composition.
To formally define what respectfulness is, we have to first define
the notion of \emph{aggregate equivalence relations} using the function @{text "REL(\<sigma>, \<tau>)"}
The idea behind this function is to simultaneously descend into the raw types
@{text \<sigma>} and quotient types @{text \<tau>}, and generate the appropriate
quotient equivalence relations in places where the types differ and equalities
elsewhere.
\begin{center}
\hfill
\begin{tabular}{l}
\multicolumn{1}{@ {}l}{equal types:}\\
@{text "REL (\<sigma>, \<sigma>)"} $\dn$ @{text "= :: \<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<sigma> \<Rightarrow> bool"}\smallskip\\
\multicolumn{1}{@ {}l}{equal type constructors:}\\
@{text "REL (\<sigma>s \<kappa>, \<tau>s \<kappa>)"} $\dn$ @{text "rel_\<kappa> (REL (\<sigma>s, \<tau>s))"}\smallskip\\
\multicolumn{1}{@ {}l}{unequal type constructors:}\\
@{text "REL (\<sigma>s \<kappa>, \<tau>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q)"} $\dn$ @{text "rel_\<kappa>\<^isub>q (REL (\<sigma>s', \<tau>s))"}\\
\end{tabular}\hfill\numbered{REL}
\end{center}
\noindent
The @{text "\<sigma>s'"} in the last clause are calculated as in \eqref{ABSREP}:
again we know that type @{text "\<alpha>s \<kappa>\<^isub>q"} is the quotient of the raw type
@{text "\<rho>s \<kappa>"}. The @{text "\<sigma>s'"} are the substitutions for @{text "\<alpha>s"} obtained by matching
@{text "\<rho>s \<kappa>"} and @{text "\<sigma>s \<kappa>"}.
Let us return to the lifting procedure of theorems. Assume we have a theorem
that contains the raw constant @{text "c\<^isub>r :: \<sigma>"} and which we want to
lift to a theorem where @{text "c\<^isub>r"} is replaced by the corresponding
constant @{text "c\<^isub>q :: \<tau>"} defined over a quotient type. In this situation
we generate the following proof obligation
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "REL (\<sigma>, \<tau>) c\<^isub>r c\<^isub>r"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
Homeier calls these proof obligations \emph{respectfulness
theorems}. However, unlike his quotient package, we might have several
respectfulness theorems for one constant---he has at most one.
The reason is that because of our quotient compositions, the types
@{text \<sigma>} and @{text \<tau>} are not completely determined by @{text "c\<^bsub>r\<^esub>"}.
And for every instantiation of the types, a corresponding
respectfulness theorem is necessary.
Before lifting a theorem, we require the user to discharge
respectfulness proof obligations. In case of @{text bn}
this obligation is as follows
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "(\<approx>\<^isub>\<alpha> \<doublearr> =) bn bn"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
and the point is that the user cannot discharge it: because it is not true. To see this,
we can just unfold the definition of @{text "\<doublearr>"} \eqref{relfun}
using extensionality to obtain the false statement
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "\<forall>t\<^isub>1 t\<^isub>2. if t\<^isub>1 \<approx>\<^isub>\<alpha> t\<^isub>2 then bn(t\<^isub>1) = bn(t\<^isub>2)"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
In contrast, if we lift a theorem about @{text "append"} to a theorem describing
the union of finite sets, then we need to discharge the proof obligation
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "(\<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub> \<doublearr> \<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub> \<doublearr> \<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub>) append append"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
To do so, we have to establish
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
if @{text "xs \<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub> ys"} and @{text "us \<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub> vs"}
then @{text "xs @ us \<approx>\<^bsub>list\<^esub> ys @ vs"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
which is straightforward given the definition shown in \eqref{listequiv}.
The second restriction we have to impose arises from non-lifted polymorphic
constants, which are instantiated to a type being quotient. For example,
take the @{term "cons"}-constructor to add a pair of natural numbers to a
list, whereby we assume the pair of natural numbers turns into an integer in
the quotient construction. The point is that we still want to use @{text
cons} for adding integers to lists---just with a different type. To be able
to lift such theorems, we need a \emph{preservation property} for @{text
cons}. Assuming we have a polymorphic raw constant @{text "c\<^isub>r :: \<sigma>"}
and a corresponding quotient constant @{text "c\<^isub>q :: \<tau>"}, then a
preservation property is as follows
%%% FIXME: Reviewer 2 asks: You say what a preservation theorem is,
%%% but not which preservation theorems you assume. Do you generate a
%%% proof obligation for a preservation theorem for each raw constant
%%% and its corresponding lifted constant?
%%% Cezary: I think this would be a nice thing to do but we have not
%%% done it, the theorems need to be 'guessed' from the remaining obligations
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "Quot R\<^bsub>\<alpha>s\<^esub> Abs\<^bsub>\<alpha>s\<^esub> Rep\<^bsub>\<alpha>s\<^esub> implies ABS (\<sigma>, \<tau>) c\<^isub>r = c\<^isub>r"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
where the @{text "\<alpha>s"} stand for the type variables in the type of @{text "c\<^isub>r"}.
In case of @{text cons} (which has type @{text "\<alpha> \<Rightarrow> \<alpha> list \<Rightarrow> \<alpha> list"}) we have
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
@{text "(Rep \<singlearr> map_list Rep \<singlearr> map_list Abs) cons = cons"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
under the assumption @{term "Quotient R Abs Rep"}. The point is that if we have
an instance of @{text cons} where the type variable @{text \<alpha>} is instantiated
with @{text "nat \<times> nat"} and we also quotient this type to yield integers,
then we need to show this preservation property.
%%%@ {thm [display, indent=10] insert_preserve2[no_vars]}
%Given two quotients, one of which quotients a container, and the
%other quotients the type in the container, we can write the
%composition of those quotients. To compose two quotient theorems
%we compose the relations with relation composition as defined above
%and the abstraction and relation functions are the ones of the sub
%quotients composed with the usual function composition.
%The @ {term "Rep"} and @ {term "Abs"} functions that we obtain agree

%%% FIXME Reviewer 3 asks: Section 5 shows the technicalities of
%%% lifting theorems. But there is no clarification about the
%%% correctness. A reader would also be interested in seeing some
%%% discussions about the generality and limitation of the approach
%%% proposed there
\noindent
The main benefit of a quotient package is to lift automatically theorems over raw
types to theorems over quotient types. We will perform this lifting in
three phases, called \emph{regularization},
\emph{injection} and \emph{cleaning} according to procedures in Homeier's ML-code.
Space restrictions, unfortunately, prevent us from giving anything but a sketch of these three
phases. However, we will precisely define the input and output data of these phases
(this was omitted in \cite{Homeier05}).
The purpose of regularization is to change the quantifiers and abstractions
in a ``raw'' theorem to quantifiers over variables that respect their respective relations
(Definition \ref{def:respects} states what respects means). The purpose of injection is to add @{term Rep}
and @{term Abs} of appropriate types in front of constants and variables
of the raw type so that they can be replaced by the corresponding constants from the
quotient type. The purpose of cleaning is to bring the theorem derived in the
first two phases into the form the user has specified. Abstractly, our
package establishes the following three proof steps:
%%% FIXME: Reviewer 1 complains that the reader needs to guess the
%%% meaning of reg_thm and inj_thm, as well as the arguments of REG
%%% which are given above. I wouldn't change it.
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l@ {\hspace{4mm}}l}
1.) Regularization & @{text "raw_thm \<longrightarrow> reg_thm"}\\
2.) Injection & @{text "reg_thm \<longleftrightarrow> inj_thm"}\\
3.) Cleaning & @{text "inj_thm \<longleftrightarrow> quot_thm"}\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\noindent
which means, stringed together, the raw theorem implies the quotient theorem.
In contrast to other quotient packages, our package requires that the user specifies
both, the @{text "raw_thm"} (as theorem) and the \emph{term} of the @{text "quot_thm"}.\footnote{Though we
also provide a fully automated mode, where the @{text "quot_thm"} is guessed
from the form of @{text "raw_thm"}.} As a result, the user has fine control
over which parts of a raw theorem should be lifted.
The second and third proof step performed in package will always succeed if the appropriate
respectfulness and preservation theorems are given. In contrast, the first
proof step can fail: a theorem given by the user does not always
imply a regularized version and a stronger one needs to be proved. An example
for this kind of failure is the simple statement for integers @{text "0 \<noteq> 1"}.
One might hope that it can be proved by lifting @{text "(0, 0) \<noteq> (1, 0)"},
but this raw theorem only shows that two particular elements in the
equivalence classes are not equal. In order to obtain @{text "0 \<noteq> 1"}, a
more general statement stipulating that the equivalence classes are not
equal is necessary. This kind of failure is beyond the scope where the
quotient package can help: the user has to provide a raw theorem that
can be regularized automatically, or has to provide an explicit proof
for the first proof step. Homeier gives more details about this issue
in the long version of \cite{Homeier05}.
In the following we will first define the statement of the
regularized theorem based on @{text "raw_thm"} and
@{text "quot_thm"}. Then we define the statement of the injected theorem, based
on @{text "reg_thm"} and @{text "quot_thm"}. We then show the three proof steps,
which can all be performed independently from each other.
We first define the function @{text REG}, which takes the terms of the
@{text "raw_thm"} and @{text "quot_thm"} as input and returns
@{text "reg_thm"}. The idea
behind this function is that it replaces quantifiers and
abstractions involving raw types by bounded ones, and equalities
involving raw types by appropriate aggregate
equivalence relations. It is defined by simultaneous recursion on
the structure of the terms of @{text "raw_thm"} and @{text "quot_thm"} as follows:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{@ {}l@ {}}
\multicolumn{1}{@ {}l@ {}}{abstractions:}\smallskip\\
@{text "REG (\<lambda>x\<^sup>\<sigma>. t, \<lambda>x\<^sup>\<tau>. s)"} $\dn$
$\begin{cases}
@{text "\<lambda>x\<^sup>\<sigma>. REG (t, s)"} \quad\mbox{provided @{text "\<sigma> = \<tau>"}}\\

\multicolumn{1}{@ {}l@ {}}{equality:}\smallskip\\

@{text "REG (c\<^isub>1, c\<^isub>2)"} $\dn$ @{text "c\<^isub>1"}\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
\noindent
In the above definition we omitted the cases for existential quantifiers
and unique existential quantifiers, as they are very similar to the cases
for the universal quantifier.
Next we define the function @{text INJ} which takes as argument
@{text "reg_thm"} and @{text "quot_thm"} (both as
terms) and returns @{text "inj_thm"}:
\begin{center}

In this definition we again omitted the cases for existential and unique existential
quantifiers.
%%% FIXME: Reviewer2 citing following sentence: You mention earlier

In the first phase, establishing @{text "raw_thm \<longrightarrow> reg_thm"}, we always
start with an implication. Isabelle provides \emph{mono} rules that can split up
the implications into simpler implicational subgoals. This succeeds for every
monotone connective, except in places where the function @{text REG} replaced,
for instance, a quantifier by a bounded quantifier. To decompose them, we have
to prove that the relations involved are aggregate equivalence relations.
%In this case we have
%rules of the form

%They decompose a bounded quantifier on the right-hand side. We can decompose a

%@{text "\<forall>x \<in> Resp R. P x = \<forall>x. P x"}
%\end{isabelle}
%\noindent
%If @{term R\<^isub>2} is an equivalence relation, we can prove that for any predicate @{term P}
%%% FIXME Reviewer 1 claims the theorem is obviously false so maybe we
%%% should include a proof sketch?
%\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
%@{thm (concl) ball_reg_eqv_range[of R\<^isub>1 R\<^isub>2, no_vars]}
%\end{isabelle}
%\noindent
%The last theorem is new in comparison with Homeier's package. There the
%injection procedure would be used to prove such goals and
%the assumption about the equivalence relation would be used. We use the above theorem directly,
%because this allows us to completely separate the first and the second
%proof step into two independent ``units''.
The second phase, establishing @{text "reg_thm \<longleftrightarrow> inj_thm"}, starts with an equality
between the terms of the regularized theorem and the injected theorem.
The proof again follows the structure of the
two underlying terms taking respectfulness theorems into account.
%\begin{itemize}
%\item For two constants an appropriate respectfulness theorem is applied.
%\item For two variables, we use the assumptions proved in the regularization step.
%\item For two abstractions, we @{text "\<eta>"}-expand and @{text "\<beta>"}-reduce them.
%\item For two applications, we check that the right-hand side is an application of
% @{term Rep} to an @{term Abs} and @{term "Quotient R Rep Abs"} holds. If yes then we
% can apply the theorem:
%\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
% @{term "R x y \<longrightarrow> R x (Rep (Abs y))"}
%\end{isabelle}
% Otherwise we introduce an appropriate relation between the subterms
% and continue with two subgoals using the lemma:
%\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
% @{text "(R\<^isub>1 \<doublearr> R\<^isub>2) f g \<longrightarrow> R\<^isub>1 x y \<longrightarrow> R\<^isub>2 (f x) (g y)"}
%\end{isabelle}
%\end{itemize}
We defined the theorem @{text "inj_thm"} in such a way that
establishing in the third phase the equivalence @{text "inj_thm \<longleftrightarrow> quot_thm"} can be
achieved by rewriting @{text "inj_thm"} with the preservation theorems and quotient
definitions. This step also requires that the definitions of all lifted constants
are used to fold the @{term Rep} with the raw constants. We will give more details
about our lifting procedure in a longer version of this paper.
%Next for
%all abstractions and quantifiers the lambda and
%quantifier preservation theorems are used to replace the
%variables that include raw types with respects by quantifiers
%over variables that include quotient types. We show here only
%the lambda preservation theorem. Given
%@{term "Quotient R\<^isub>1 Abs\<^isub>1 Rep\<^isub>1"} and @{term "Quotient R\<^isub>2 Abs\<^isub>2 Rep\<^isub>2"}, we have:
%\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
%@{thm (concl) lambda_prs[of _ "Abs\<^isub>1" "Rep\<^isub>1" _ "Abs\<^isub>2" "Rep\<^isub>2", no_vars]}
%\end{isabelle}
%\noindent
%Next, relations over lifted types can be rewritten to equalities
%over lifted type. Rewriting is performed with the following theorem,
%which has been shown by Homeier~\cite{Homeier05}:
%\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %%%
%@{thm (concl) Quotient_rel_rep[no_vars]}
%\end{isabelle}
%Finally, we rewrite with the preservation theorems. This will result
%in two equal terms that can be solved by reflexivity.

%%% FIXME Reviewer 1 would like an example of regularized and injected
%%% statements. He asks for the examples twice, but I would still ignore
%%% it due to lack of space...
\noindent
In this section we will show a sequence of declarations for defining the
type of integers by quotienting pairs of natural numbers, and
lifting one theorem.
A user of our quotient package first needs to define a relation on
the raw type with which the quotienting will be performed. We give
the same integer relation as the one presented in \eqref{natpairequiv}:
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %
\begin{tabular}{@ {}l}
\isacommand{fun}~~@{text "int_rel :: (nat \<times> nat) \<Rightarrow> (nat \<times> nat) \<Rightarrow> (nat \<times> nat)"}\\
\isacommand{where}~~@{text "int_rel (m, n) (p, q) = (m + q = n + p)"}
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
Next the quotient type must be defined. This generates a proof obligation that the
relation is an equivalence relation, which is solved automatically using the
definition of equivalence and extensionality:
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %
\begin{tabular}{@ {}l}
\isacommand{quotient\_type}~~@{text "int"}~~\isacommand{=}~~@{text "(nat \<times> nat)"}~~\isacommand{/}~~@{text "int_rel"}\\
\hspace{5mm}@{text "by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)"}
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
The user can then specify the constants on the quotient type:
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %
\begin{tabular}{@ {}l}
\isacommand{quotient\_definition}~~@{text "0 :: int"}~~\isacommand{is}~~@{text "(0 :: nat, 0 :: nat)"}\\[3mm]
\isacommand{fun}~~@{text "add_pair"}\\
\isacommand{where}~~%
@{text "add_pair (m, n) (p, q) \<equiv> (m + p :: nat, n + q :: nat)"}\\
\isacommand{quotient\_definition}~~@{text "+ :: int \<Rightarrow> int \<Rightarrow> int"}~~%
\isacommand{is}~~@{text "add_pair"}\\
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
The following theorem about addition on the raw level can be proved.
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %
\isacommand{lemma}~~@{text "add_pair_zero: int_rel (add_pair (0, 0) x) x"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
If the user lifts this theorem, the quotient package performs all the lifting
automatically leaving the respectfulness proof for the constant @{text "add_pair"}
as the only remaining proof obligation. This property needs to be proved by the user:
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %
\begin{tabular}{@ {}l}
\isacommand{lemma}~~@{text "[quot_respect]:"}\\
@{text "(int_rel \<doublearr> int_rel \<doublearr> int_rel) add_pair add_pair"}
\end{tabular}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
It can be discharged automatically by Isabelle when hinting to unfold the definition
of @{text "\<doublearr>"}.
After this, the user can prove the lifted lemma as follows:
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %
\isacommand{lemma}~~@{text "0 + (x :: int) = x"}~~\isacommand{by}~~@{text "lifting add_pair_zero"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
or by using the completely automated mode stating just:
\begin{isabelle}\ \ \ \ \ %
\isacommand{thm}~~@{text "add_pair_zero[quot_lifted]"}
\end{isabelle}
\noindent
Both methods give the same result, namely @{text "0 + x = x"}
where @{text x} is of type integer.
Although seemingly simple, arriving at this result without the help of a quotient
package requires a substantial reasoning effort (see \cite{Paulson06}).

section {* Conclusion and Related Work\label{sec:conc}*}

\noindent
The code of the quotient package and the examples described here are already
included in the standard distribution of Isabelle.
% \footnote{Available from \href{http://isabelle.in.tum.de/}{http://isabelle.in.tum.de/}.}
The package is
heavily used in the new version of Nominal Isabelle, which provides a
convenient reasoning infrastructure for programming language calculi
involving general binders. To achieve this, it builds types representing
@{text \<alpha>}-equivalent terms. Earlier versions of Nominal Isabelle have been
used successfully in formalisations of an equivalence checking algorithm for
LF \cite{UrbanCheneyBerghofer08}, Typed
Scheme~\cite{TobinHochstadtFelleisen08}, several calculi for concurrency
\cite{BengtsonParow09} and a strong normalisation result for cut-elimination
in classical logic \cite{UrbanZhu08}.
There is a wide range of existing literature for dealing with quotients
in theorem provers. Slotosch~\cite{Slotosch97} implemented a mechanism that
automatically defines quotient types for Isabelle/HOL. But he did not
include theorem lifting. Harrison's quotient package~\cite{harrison-thesis}
is the first one that is able to automatically lift theorems, however only
first-order theorems (that is theorems where abstractions, quantifiers and
variables do not involve functions that include the quotient type). There is
also some work on quotient types in non-HOL based systems and logical
frameworks, including theory interpretations in
PVS~\cite{PVS:Interpretations}, new types in MetaPRL~\cite{Nogin02}, and
setoids in Coq \cite{ChicliPS02}. Paulson showed a construction of
quotients that does not require the Hilbert Choice operator, but also only
first-order theorems can be lifted~\cite{Paulson06}. The most related work
to our package is the package for HOL4 by Homeier~\cite{Homeier05}. He
introduced most of the abstract notions about quotients and also deals with
lifting of higher-order theorems. However, he cannot deal with quotient
compositions (needed for lifting theorems about @{text flat}). Also, a
number of his definitions, like @{text ABS}, @{text REP} and @{text INJ} etc
only exist in \cite{Homeier05} as ML-code, not included in the paper.
Like Homeier's, our quotient package can deal with partial equivalence
relations, but for lack of space we do not describe the mechanisms
needed for this kind of quotient constructions.
%%% FIXME Reviewer 3 would like to know more about the lifting in Coq and PVS,
%%% and some comparison. I don't think we have the space for any additions...
One feature of our quotient package is that when lifting theorems, the user
can precisely specify what the lifted theorem should look like. This feature
is necessary, for example, when lifting an induction principle for two
lists. Assuming this principle has as the conclusion a predicate of the
form @{text "P xs ys"}, then we can precisely specify whether we want to
quotient @{text "xs"} or @{text "ys"}, or both. We found this feature very
useful in the new version of Nominal Isabelle, where such a choice is
required to generate a reasoning infrastructure for alpha-equated terms.
