Regular languages are an important and well-understood subject in Computer |
60 | 114 |
Science, with many beautiful theorems and many useful algorithms. There is a |
66 | 115 |
wide range of textbooks on this subject, many of which are aimed at students |
115 | 116 |
and contain very detailed `pencil-and-paper' proofs |
60 | 117 |
(e.g.~\cite{Kozen97}). It seems natural to exercise theorem provers by |
101 | 118 |
formalising the theorems and by verifying formally the algorithms. |
59 | 119 |
|
66 | 120 |
There is however a problem: the typical approach to regular languages is to |
121 |
introduce finite automata and then define everything in terms of them. For |
|
122 |
example, a regular language is normally defined as one whose strings are |
|
123 |
recognised by a finite deterministic automaton. This approach has many |
|
71 | 124 |
benefits. Among them is the fact that it is easy to convince oneself that |
66 | 125 |
regular languages are closed under complementation: one just has to exchange |
126 |
the accepting and non-accepting states in the corresponding automaton to |
|
127 |
obtain an automaton for the complement language. The problem, however, lies with |
|
67 | 128 |
formalising such reasoning in a HOL-based theorem prover, in our case |
115 | 129 |
Isabelle/HOL. Automata are built up from states and transitions that |
82 | 130 |
need to be represented as graphs, matrices or functions, none |
154 | 131 |
of which can be defined as an inductive datatype. |
66 | 132 |
|
82 | 133 |
In case of graphs and matrices, this means we have to build our own |
134 |
reasoning infrastructure for them, as neither Isabelle/HOL nor HOL4 nor |
|
135 |
HOLlight support them with libraries. Even worse, reasoning about graphs and |
|
136 |
matrices can be a real hassle in HOL-based theorem provers. Consider for |
|
137 |
example the operation of sequencing two automata, say $A_1$ and $A_2$, by |
|
159 | 138 |
connecting the accepting states of $A_1$ to the initial state of $A_2$:\\[-5.5mm] |

On `paper' we can define the corresponding graph in terms of the disjoint |
88 | 196 |
union of the state nodes. Unfortunately in HOL, the standard definition for disjoint |
66 | 197 |
union, namely |
82 | 198 |
% |
199 |
\begin{equation}\label{disjointunion} |
|
66 | 200 |
@{term "UPLUS A\<^isub>1 A\<^isub>2 \<equiv> {(1, x) | x. x \<in> A\<^isub>1} \<union> {(2, y) | y. y \<in> A\<^isub>2}"} |
82 | 201 |
\end{equation} |
60 | 202 |
|
61 | 203 |
\noindent |
66 | 204 |
changes the type---the disjoint union is not a set, but a set of pairs. |
135 | 205 |
Using this definition for disjoint union means we do not have a single type for automata |
92 | 206 |
and hence will not be able to state certain properties about \emph{all} |
154 | 207 |
automata, since there is no type quantification available in HOL (unlike in Coq, for example). An |
67 | 208 |
alternative, which provides us with a single type for automata, is to give every |
209 |
state node an identity, for example a natural |
|
70 | 210 |
number, and then be careful to rename these identities apart whenever |
67 | 211 |
connecting two automata. This results in clunky proofs |
66 | 212 |
establishing that properties are invariant under renaming. Similarly, |
67 | 213 |
connecting two automata represented as matrices results in very adhoc |
66 | 214 |
constructions, which are not pleasant to reason about. |

82 | 216 |
Functions are much better supported in Isabelle/HOL, but they still lead to similar |
88 | 217 |
problems as with graphs. Composing, for example, two non-deterministic automata in parallel |
93 | 218 |
requires also the formalisation of disjoint unions. Nipkow \cite{Nipkow98} |
101 | 219 |
dismisses for this the option of using identities, because it leads according to |
220 |
him to ``messy proofs''. He |
|
103 | 221 |
opts for a variant of \eqref{disjointunion} using bit lists, but writes |

Moreover, it is not so clear how to conveniently impose a finiteness condition |
|
245 |
upon functions in order to represent \emph{finite} automata. The best is |
|
92 | 246 |
probably to resort to more advanced reasoning frameworks, such as \emph{locales} |
247 |
or \emph{type classes}, |
|
134 | 248 |
which are \emph{not} available in all HOL-based theorem provers. |
82 | 249 |
|
66 | 250 |
Because of these problems to do with representing automata, there seems |
251 |
to be no substantial formalisation of automata theory and regular languages |
|
115 | 252 |
carried out in HOL-based theorem provers. Nipkow \cite{Nipkow98} establishes |
253 |
the link between regular expressions and automata in |
|
254 |
the context of lexing. Berghofer and Reiter \cite{BerghoferReiter09} |
|
255 |
formalise automata working over |
|
256 |
bit strings in the context of Presburger arithmetic. |
|
114 | 257 |
The only larger formalisations of automata theory |
115 | 258 |
are carried out in Nuprl \cite{Constable00} and in Coq \cite{Filliatre97}. |
58 | 259 |
|
82 | 260 |
In this paper, we will not attempt to formalise automata theory in |
159 | 261 |
Isabelle/HOL, but take a different approach to regular |
82 | 262 |
languages. Instead of defining a regular language as one where there exists |
263 |
an automaton that recognises all strings of the language, we define a |
|
264 |
regular language as: |
|
54 | 265 |
|
82 | 266 |
\begin{definition} |
77 | 267 |
A language @{text A} is \emph{regular}, provided there is a regular expression that matches all |
54 | 268 |
strings of @{text "A"}. |
269 |
\end{definition} |
|
270 |
||
271 |
\noindent |
|
110 | 272 |
The reason is that regular expressions, unlike graphs, matrices and functions, can |
71 | 273 |
be easily defined as inductive datatype. Consequently a corresponding reasoning |
274 |
infrastructure comes for free. This has recently been exploited in HOL4 with a formalisation |
|
101 | 275 |
of regular expression matching based on derivatives \cite{OwensSlind08} and |
276 |
with an equivalence checker for regular expressions in Isabelle/HOL \cite{KraussNipkow11}. |
|
277 |
The purpose of this paper is to |
|
71 | 278 |
show that a central result about regular languages---the Myhill-Nerode theorem---can |
279 |
be recreated by only using regular expressions. This theorem gives necessary |
|
280 |
and sufficient conditions for when a language is regular. As a corollary of this |
|
67 | 281 |
theorem we can easily establish the usual closure properties, including |
282 |
complementation, for regular languages.\smallskip |

{\bf Contributions:} |
286 |
There is an extensive literature on regular languages. |
|
159 | 287 |
To our best knowledge, our proof of the Myhill-Nerode theorem is the |
67 | 288 |
first that is based on regular expressions, only. We prove the part of this theorem |
289 |
stating that a regular expression has only finitely many partitions using certain |
|
135 | 290 |
tagging-functions. Again to our best knowledge, these tagging-functions have |
67 | 291 |
not been used before to establish the Myhill-Nerode theorem. |

Strings in Isabelle/HOL are lists of characters with the \emph{empty string} |
92 | 298 |
being represented by the empty list, written @{term "[]"}. \emph{Languages} |
67 | 299 |
are sets of strings. The language containing all strings is written in |
71 | 300 |
Isabelle/HOL as @{term "UNIV::string set"}. The concatenation of two languages |
166 | 301 |
is written @{term "A \<cdot> B"} and a language raised to the power @{text n} is written |
93 | 302 |
@{term "A \<up> n"}. They are defined as usual |

\noindent |
|
100 | 326 |
In @{text "(ii)"} we use the notation @{term "length s"} for the length of a |
156 | 327 |
string; this property states that if \mbox{@{term "[] \<notin> A"}} then the lengths of |
100 | 328 |
the strings in @{term "A \<up> (Suc n)"} must be longer than @{text n}. We omit |
329 |
the proofs for these properties, but invite the reader to consult our |
|
123 | 330 |
formalisation.\footnote{Available at \url{http://www4.in.tum.de/~urbanc/regexp.html}} |
71 | 331 |
|
90 | 332 |
The notation in Isabelle/HOL for the quotient of a language @{text A} according to an |
333 |
equivalence relation @{term REL} is @{term "A // REL"}. We will write |
|
71 | 334 |
@{text "\<lbrakk>x\<rbrakk>\<^isub>\<approx>"} for the equivalence class defined |
156 | 335 |
as \mbox{@{text "{y | y \<approx> x}"}}. |
71 | 336 |
|
337 |

51 | 338 |
Central to our proof will be the solution of equational systems |
156 | 339 |
involving equivalence classes of languages. For this we will use Arden's Lemma \cite{Brzozowski64}, |
166 | 340 |
which solves equations of the form @{term "X = A \<cdot> X \<union> B"} provided |
115 | 341 |
@{term "[] \<notin> A"}. However we will need the following `reverse' |
166 | 342 |
version of Arden's Lemma (`reverse' in the sense of changing the order of @{term "A \<cdot> X"} to |
343 |
\mbox{@{term "X \<cdot> A"}}). |
|
50 | 344 |
|
75 | 345 |
\begin{lemma}[Reverse Arden's Lemma]\label{arden}\mbox{}\\ |
86 | 346 |
If @{thm (prem 1) arden} then |
115 | 347 |
@{thm (lhs) arden} if and only if |
86 | 348 |
@{thm (rhs) arden}. |
50 | 349 |
\end{lemma} |
350 |
||
351 |
\begin{proof} |
|
86 | 352 |
For the right-to-left direction we assume @{thm (rhs) arden} and show |
353 |
that @{thm (lhs) arden} holds. From Prop.~\ref{langprops}@{text "(i)"} |
|
166 | 354 |
we have @{term "A\<star> = {[]} \<union> A \<cdot> A\<star>"}, |
355 |
which is equal to @{term "A\<star> = {[]} \<union> A\<star> \<cdot> A"}. Adding @{text B} to both |
|
356 |
sides gives @{term "B \<cdot> A\<star> = B \<cdot> ({[]} \<union> A\<star> \<cdot> A)"}, whose right-hand side |
|
357 |
is equal to @{term "(B \<cdot> A\<star>) \<cdot> A \<union> B"}. This completes this direction. |
|
50 | 358 |
|
86 | 359 |
For the other direction we assume @{thm (lhs) arden}. By a simple induction |
51 | 360 |
on @{text n}, we can establish the property |
50 | 361 |
|
362 |
\begin{center} |
|
86 | 363 |
@{text "(*)"}\hspace{5mm} @{thm (concl) arden_helper} |
50 | 364 |
\end{center} |
365 |
||
366 |
\noindent |
|
166 | 367 |
Using this property we can show that @{term "B \<cdot> (A \<up> n) \<subseteq> X"} holds for |
368 |
all @{text n}. From this we can infer @{term "B \<cdot> A\<star> \<subseteq> X"} using the definition |
|
71 | 369 |
of @{text "\<star>"}. |
51 | 370 |
For the inclusion in the other direction we assume a string @{text s} |
134 | 371 |
with length @{text k} is an element in @{text X}. Since @{thm (prem 1) arden} |
75 | 372 |
we know by Prop.~\ref{langprops}@{text "(ii)"} that |
166 | 373 |
@{term "s \<notin> X \<cdot> (A \<up> Suc k)"} since its length is only @{text k} |
374 |
(the strings in @{term "X \<cdot> (A \<up> Suc k)"} are all longer). |
|
53 | 375 |
From @{text "(*)"} it follows then that |
166 | 376 |
@{term s} must be an element in @{term "(\<Union>m\<in>{0..k}. B \<cdot> (A \<up> m))"}. This in turn |
377 |
implies that @{term s} is in @{term "(\<Union>n. B \<cdot> (A \<up> n))"}. Using Prop.~\ref{langprops}@{text "(iii)"} |
|
378 |
this is equal to @{term "B \<cdot> A\<star>"}, as we needed to show.\qed |

Given a finite set of regular expressions @{text rs}, we will make use of the operation of generating |
132 | 417 |
a regular expression that matches the union of all languages of @{text rs}. We only need to know the |
418 |
existence |
|
92 | 419 |
of such a regular expression and therefore we use Isabelle/HOL's @{const "fold_graph"} and Hilbert's |
93 | 420 |
@{text "\<epsilon>"} to define @{term "\<Uplus>rs"}. This operation, roughly speaking, folds @{const ALT} over the |
100 | 421 |

77 | 436 |
The key definition in the Myhill-Nerode theorem is the |
75 | 437 |
\emph{Myhill-Nerode relation}, which states that w.r.t.~a language two |
438 |
strings are related, provided there is no distinguishing extension in this |
|
154 | 439 |
language. This can be defined as a tertiary relation. |
75 | 440 |
|
117 | 441 |
\begin{definition}[Myhill-Nerode Relation] Given a language @{text A}, two strings @{text x} and |
123 | 442 |
@{text y} are Myhill-Nerode related provided |

71 | 448 |
\noindent |
75 | 449 |
It is easy to see that @{term "\<approx>A"} is an equivalence relation, which |
450 |
partitions the set of all strings, @{text "UNIV"}, into a set of disjoint |
|
108 | 451 |
equivalence classes. To illustrate this quotient construction, let us give a simple |
101 | 452 |
example: consider the regular language containing just |
92 | 453 |
the string @{text "[c]"}. The relation @{term "\<approx>({[c]})"} partitions @{text UNIV} |
101 | 454 |
into three equivalence classes @{text "X\<^isub>1"}, @{text "X\<^isub>2"} and @{text "X\<^isub>3"} |
90 | 455 |
as follows |
456 |
||
457 |
\begin{center} |
|
458 |
@{text "X\<^isub>1 = {[]}"}\hspace{5mm} |
|
459 |
@{text "X\<^isub>2 = {[c]}"}\hspace{5mm} |
|
460 |
@{text "X\<^isub>3 = UNIV - {[], [c]}"} |
|
461 |
\end{center} |
|
462 |
||
463 |
One direction of the Myhill-Nerode theorem establishes |
|
93 | 464 |
that if there are finitely many equivalence classes, like in the example above, then |
465 |
the language is regular. In our setting we therefore have to show: |
|
75 | 466 |
|
467 |
\begin{theorem}\label{myhillnerodeone} |
|
96 | 468 |
@{thm[mode=IfThen] Myhill_Nerode1} |
75 | 469 |
\end{theorem} |
71 | 470 |
|
75 | 471 |
\noindent |
90 | 472 |
To prove this theorem, we first define the set @{term "finals A"} as those equivalence |
100 | 473 |
classes from @{term "UNIV // \<approx>A"} that contain strings of @{text A}, namely |
75 | 474 |
% |
71 | 475 |
\begin{equation} |
70 | 476 |
@{thm finals_def} |
71 | 477 |
\end{equation} |
478 |
||
479 |
\noindent |
|
132 | 480 |
In our running example, @{text "X\<^isub>2"} is the only |
481 |
equivalence class in @{term "finals {[c]}"}. |
|
90 | 482 |
It is straightforward to show that in general @{thm lang_is_union_of_finals} and |
79 | 483 |
@{thm finals_in_partitions} hold. |
75 | 484 |
Therefore if we know that there exists a regular expression for every |
100 | 485 |
equivalence class in \mbox{@{term "finals A"}} (which by assumption must be |
93 | 486 |
a finite set), then we can use @{text "\<bigplus>"} to obtain a regular expression |
98 | 487 |
that matches every string in @{text A}. |
70 | 488 |
|
75 | 489 |
|
90 | 490 |
Our proof of Thm.~\ref{myhillnerodeone} relies on a method that can calculate a |
79 | 491 |
regular expression for \emph{every} equivalence class, not just the ones |
77 | 492 |
in @{term "finals A"}. We |
93 | 493 |
first define the notion of \emph{one-character-transition} between |
494 |
two equivalence classes |

\end{equation} |

|
71 | 500 |
\noindent |
92 | 501 |
which means that if we concatenate the character @{text c} to the end of all |
502 |
strings in the equivalence class @{text Y}, we obtain a subset of |
|
77 | 503 |
@{text X}. Note that we do not define an automaton here, we merely relate two sets |
110 | 504 |
(with the help of a character). In our concrete example we have |
92 | 505 |
@{term "X\<^isub>1 \<Turnstile>c\<Rightarrow> X\<^isub>2"}, @{term "X\<^isub>1 \<Turnstile>d\<Rightarrow> X\<^isub>3"} with @{text d} being any |
93 | 506 |
other character than @{text c}, and @{term "X\<^isub>3 \<Turnstile>d\<Rightarrow> X\<^isub>3"} for any @{text d}. |
75 | 507 |
|
156 | 508 |
Next we construct an \emph{initial equational system} that |
509 |
contains an equation for each equivalence class. We first give |
|
510 |
an informal description of this construction. Suppose we have |
|
75 | 511 |
the equivalence classes @{text "X\<^isub>1,\<dots>,X\<^isub>n"}, there must be one and only one that |
512 |
contains the empty string @{text "[]"} (since equivalence classes are disjoint). |
|
77 | 513 |
Let us assume @{text "[] \<in> X\<^isub>1"}. We build the following equational system |
75 | 514 |
|
515 |
\begin{center} |
|
516 |
\begin{tabular}{rcl} |
|
517 |
@{text "X\<^isub>1"} & @{text "="} & @{text "(Y\<^isub>1\<^isub>1, CHAR c\<^isub>1\<^isub>1) + \<dots> + (Y\<^isub>1\<^isub>p, CHAR c\<^isub>1\<^isub>p) + \<lambda>(EMPTY)"} \\ |
|
518 |
@{text "X\<^isub>2"} & @{text "="} & @{text "(Y\<^isub>2\<^isub>1, CHAR c\<^isub>2\<^isub>1) + \<dots> + (Y\<^isub>2\<^isub>o, CHAR c\<^isub>2\<^isub>o)"} \\ |
|
519 |
& $\vdots$ \\ |
|
520 |
@{text "X\<^isub>n"} & @{text "="} & @{text "(Y\<^isub>n\<^isub>1, CHAR c\<^isub>n\<^isub>1) + \<dots> + (Y\<^isub>n\<^isub>q, CHAR c\<^isub>n\<^isub>q)"}\\ |
|
521 |
\end{tabular} |
|
522 |
\end{center} |
|
70 | 523 |
|
75 | 524 |
\noindent |
100 | 525 |
where the terms @{text "(Y\<^isub>i\<^isub>j, CHAR c\<^isub>i\<^isub>j)"} |
526 |
stand for all transitions @{term "Y\<^isub>i\<^isub>j \<Turnstile>c\<^isub>i\<^isub>j\<Rightarrow> |
|
159 | 527 |
X\<^isub>i"}. |
528 |
%The intuition behind the equational system is that every |
|
529 |
%equation @{text "X\<^isub>i = rhs\<^isub>i"} in this system |
|
530 |
%corresponds roughly to a state of an automaton whose name is @{text X\<^isub>i} and its predecessor states |
|
531 |
%are the @{text "Y\<^isub>i\<^isub>j"}; the @{text "c\<^isub>i\<^isub>j"} are the labels of the transitions from these |
|
532 |
%predecessor states to @{text X\<^isub>i}. |
|
533 |
There can only be |
|
156 | 534 |
finitely many terms of the form @{text "(Y\<^isub>i\<^isub>j, CHAR c\<^isub>i\<^isub>j)"} in a right-hand side |
535 |
since by assumption there are only finitely many |
|
159 | 536 |
equivalence classes and only finitely many characters. |
537 |
The term @{text "\<lambda>(EMPTY)"} in the first equation acts as a marker for the initial state, that |
|
538 |
is the equivalence class |
|
100 | 539 |
containing @{text "[]"}.\footnote{Note that we mark, roughly speaking, the |
115 | 540 |
single `initial' state in the equational system, which is different from |
100 | 541 |
the method by Brzozowski \cite{Brzozowski64}, where he marks the |
115 | 542 |
`terminal' states. We are forced to set up the equational system in our |
543 |
way, because the Myhill-Nerode relation determines the `direction' of the |
|
123 | 544 |
transitions---the successor `state' of an equivalence class @{text Y} can |
545 |
be reached by adding a character to the end of @{text Y}. This is also the |
|
156 | 546 |
reason why we have to use our reverse version of Arden's Lemma.} |
159 | 547 |
%In our initial equation system there can only be |
548 |
%finitely many terms of the form @{text "(Y\<^isub>i\<^isub>j, CHAR c\<^isub>i\<^isub>j)"} in a right-hand side |
|
549 |
%since by assumption there are only finitely many |
|
550 |
%equivalence classes and only finitely many characters. |
|
100 | 551 |
Overloading the function @{text \<calL>} for the two kinds of terms in the |
92 | 552 |
equational system, we have |
75 | 553 |

554 |

75 | 565 |
\end{equation} |
566 |

567 |

|
568 |
hold. Similarly for @{text "X\<^isub>1"} we can show the following equation |
|
569 |
% |
|
570 |
\begin{equation}\label{inv2} |
|
159 | 571 |
@{text "X\<^isub>1 = \<calL>(Y\<^isub>1\<^isub>1, CHAR c\<^isub>1\<^isub>1) \<union> \<dots> \<union> \<calL>(Y\<^isub>1\<^isub>p, CHAR c\<^isub>1\<^isub>p) \<union> \<calL>(\<lambda>(EMPTY))"}. |
75 | 572 |
\end{equation} |
573 |
||
574 |
\noindent |
|
160 | 575 |
holds. The reason for adding the @{text \<lambda>}-marker to our initial equational system is |
103 | 576 |
to obtain this equation: it only holds with the marker, since none of |
108 | 577 |
the other terms contain the empty string. The point of the initial equational system is |
578 |
that solving it means we will be able to extract a regular expression for every equivalence class. |
|
100 | 579 |
|
101 | 580 |
Our representation for the equations in Isabelle/HOL are pairs, |
108 | 581 |
where the first component is an equivalence class (a set of strings) |
582 |
and the second component |
|
101 | 583 |
is a set of terms. Given a set of equivalence |
100 | 584 |
classes @{text CS}, our initial equational system @{term "Init CS"} is thus |
101 | 585 |

Because we use sets of terms |

for representing the right-hand sides of equations, we can |

prove \eqref{inv1} and \eqref{inv2} more concisely as |

Our proof of Thm.~\ref{myhillnerodeone} will proceed by transforming the |
100 | 615 |
initial equational system into one in \emph{solved form} maintaining the invariant |
108 | 616 |
in Lem.~\ref{inv}. From the solved form we will be able to read |
89 | 617 |
off the regular expressions. |
618 |
||
100 | 619 |
In order to transform an equational system into solved form, we have two |
89 | 620 |
operations: one that takes an equation of the form @{text "X = rhs"} and removes |
110 | 621 |
any recursive occurrences of @{text X} in the @{text rhs} using our variant of Arden's |
92 | 622 |
Lemma. The other operation takes an equation @{text "X = rhs"} |
89 | 623 |
and substitutes @{text X} throughout the rest of the equational system |
110 | 624 |
adjusting the remaining regular expressions appropriately. To define this adjustment |
108 | 625 |
we define the \emph{append-operation} taking a term and a regular expression as argument |

101 | 635 |
the \emph{arden-operation} for an equation of the form @{text "X = rhs"} as: |
110 | 636 |
% |
637 |
\begin{equation}\label{arden_def} |

|
101 | 647 |
In this definition, we first delete all terms of the form @{text "(X, r)"} from @{text rhs}; |
110 | 648 |
then we calculate the combined regular expressions for all @{text r} coming |
94 | 649 |
from the deleted @{text "(X, r)"}, and take the @{const STAR} of it; |
650 |
finally we append this regular expression to @{text rhs'}. It can be easily seen |
|
156 | 651 |
that this operation mimics Arden's Lemma on the level of equations. To ensure |
652 |
the non-emptiness condition of Arden's Lemma we say that a right-hand side is |
|
154 | 653 |
@{text ardenable} provided |

|
156 | 660 |
This allows us to prove a version of Arden's Lemma on the level of equations. |
110 | 661 |
|
662 |
\begin{lemma}\label{ardenable} |
|
113 | 663 |
Given an equation @{text "X = rhs"}. |
110 | 664 |
If @{text "X = \<Union>\<calL> ` rhs"}, |

|
156 | 671 |
Our @{text ardenable} condition is slightly stronger than needed for applying Arden's Lemma, |
672 |
but we can still ensure that it holds troughout our algorithm of transforming equations |
|
673 |
into solved form. The \emph{substitution-operation} takes an equation |
|
95 | 674 |
of the form @{text "X = xrhs"} and substitutes it into the right-hand side @{text rhs}. |
94 | 675 |

\end{center} |
95 | 684 |
|
685 |
\noindent |
|
134 | 686 |
We again delete first all occurrences of @{text "(X, r)"} in @{text rhs}; we then calculate |
95 | 687 |
the regular expression corresponding to the deleted terms; finally we append this |
688 |
regular expression to @{text "xrhs"} and union it up with @{text rhs'}. When we use |
|
689 |
the substitution operation we will arrange it so that @{text "xrhs"} does not contain |
|
110 | 690 |
any occurrence of @{text X}. |
96 | 691 |
|
134 | 692 |
With these two operations in place, we can define the operation that removes one equation |
100 | 693 |
from an equational systems @{text ES}. The operation @{const Subst_all} |
96 | 694 |
substitutes an equation @{text "X = xrhs"} throughout an equational system @{text ES}; |
100 | 695 |
@{const Remove} then completely removes such an equation from @{text ES} by substituting |
110 | 696 |
it to the rest of the equational system, but first eliminating all recursive occurrences |
96 | 697 |
of @{text X} by applying @{const Arden} to @{text "xrhs"}. |

706 |
\noindent |
|
110 | 707 |
Finally, we can define how an equational system should be solved. For this |
107 | 708 |
we will need to iterate the process of eliminating equations until only one equation |
154 | 709 |
will be left in the system. However, we do not just want to have any equation |
107 | 710 |
as being the last one, but the one involving the equivalence class for |
711 |
which we want to calculate the regular |
|
108 | 712 |
expression. Let us suppose this equivalence class is @{text X}. |
107 | 713 |
Since @{text X} is the one to be solved, in every iteration step we have to pick an |
108 | 714 |
equation to be eliminated that is different from @{text X}. In this way |
715 |
@{text X} is kept to the final step. The choice is implemented using Hilbert's choice |
|
107 | 716 |
operator, written @{text SOME} in the definition below. |
100 | 717 |
|
718 |

726 |
\noindent |
|
110 | 727 |
The last definition we need applies @{term Iter} over and over until a condition |
159 | 728 |
@{text Cond} is \emph{not} satisfied anymore. This condition states that there |
110 | 729 |
are more than one equation left in the equational system @{text ES}. To solve |
730 |
an equational system we use Isabelle/HOL's @{text while}-operator as follows: |
|
101 | 731 |
|
100 | 732 |
\begin{center} |
733 |
@{thm Solve_def} |

734 |
\end{center} |

735 |

101 | 736 |
\noindent |
103 | 737 |
We are not concerned here with the definition of this operator |
115 | 738 |
(see Berghofer and Nipkow \cite{BerghoferNipkow00}), but note that we eliminate |
103 | 739 |
in each @{const Iter}-step a single equation, and therefore |
740 |
have a well-founded termination order by taking the cardinality |
|
741 |
of the equational system @{text ES}. This enables us to prove |
|
115 | 742 |
properties about our definition of @{const Solve} when we `call' it with |
104 | 743 |
the equivalence class @{text X} and the initial equational system |
744 |
@{term "Init (UNIV // \<approx>A)"} from |
|
108 | 745 |
\eqref{initcs} using the principle: |
110 | 746 |
% |
747 |
\begin{equation}\label{whileprinciple} |

\end{equation} |
|
103 | 757 |
|
758 |
\noindent |
|
104 | 759 |
This principle states that given an invariant (which we will specify below) |
760 |
we can prove a property |
|
761 |
@{text "P"} involving @{const Solve}. For this we have to discharge the following |
|
762 |
proof obligations: first the |
|
113 | 763 |
initial equational system satisfies the invariant; second the iteration |
154 | 764 |
step @{text "Iter"} preserves the invariant as long as the condition @{term Cond} holds; |
113 | 765 |
third @{text "Iter"} decreases the termination order, and fourth that |
104 | 766 |
once the condition does not hold anymore then the property @{text P} must hold. |
103 | 767 |
|
104 | 768 |
The property @{term P} in our proof will state that @{term "Solve X (Init (UNIV // \<approx>A))"} |
108 | 769 |
returns with a single equation @{text "X = xrhs"} for some @{text "xrhs"}, and |
104 | 770 |
that this equational system still satisfies the invariant. In order to get |
771 |
the proof through, the invariant is composed of the following six properties: |
|

\noindent |
787 |
The first two ensure that the equational system is always finite (number of equations |
|
160 | 788 |
and number of terms in each equation); the third makes sure the `meaning' of the |
108 | 789 |
equations is preserved under our transformations. The other properties are a bit more |
790 |
technical, but are needed to get our proof through. Distinctness states that every |
|
154 | 791 |
equation in the system is distinct. @{text Ardenable} ensures that we can always |
156 | 792 |
apply the @{text Arden} operation. |
108 | 793 |
The last property states that every @{text rhs} can only contain equivalence classes |
794 |
for which there is an equation. Therefore @{text lhss} is just the set containing |
|
795 |
the first components of an equational system, |
|
796 |
while @{text "rhss"} collects all equivalence classes @{text X} in the terms of the |
|
123 | 797 |
form @{term "Trn X r"}. That means formally @{thm (lhs) lhss_def}~@{text "\<equiv> {X | (X, rhs) \<in> ES}"} |
110 | 798 |
and @{thm (lhs) rhss_def}~@{text "\<equiv> {X | (X, r) \<in> rhs}"}. |
108 | 799 |
|
104 | 800 |
|
110 | 801 |
It is straightforward to prove that the initial equational system satisfies the |
105 | 802 |
invariant. |
803 |
||
110 | 804 |
\begin{lemma}\label{invzero} |
104 | 805 |
@{thm[mode=IfThen] Init_ES_satisfies_invariant} |
806 |
\end{lemma} |
|
807 |
||
105 | 808 |
\begin{proof} |
809 |
Finiteness is given by the assumption and the way how we set up the |
|
810 |
initial equational system. Soundness is proved in Lem.~\ref{inv}. Distinctness |
|
154 | 811 |
follows from the fact that the equivalence classes are disjoint. The @{text ardenable} |
113 | 812 |
property also follows from the setup of the initial equational system, as does |
105 | 813 |
validity.\qed |
814 |
\end{proof} |
|
815 |
||
113 | 816 |
\noindent |
817 |
Next we show that @{text Iter} preserves the invariant. |
|
818 |
||
110 | 819 |
\begin{lemma}\label{iterone} |
104 | 820 |
@{thm[mode=IfThen] iteration_step_invariant[where xrhs="rhs"]} |
821 |
\end{lemma} |
|
822 |
||
107 | 823 |
\begin{proof} |
156 | 824 |
The argument boils down to choosing an equation @{text "Y = yrhs"} to be eliminated |
110 | 825 |
and to show that @{term "Subst_all (ES - {(Y, yrhs)}) Y (Arden Y yrhs)"} |
826 |
preserves the invariant. |
|
827 |
We prove this as follows: |
|
828 |
||
829 |
\begin{center} |
|
830 |
@{text "\<forall> ES."} @{thm (prem 1) Subst_all_satisfies_invariant} implies |
|
831 |
@{thm (concl) Subst_all_satisfies_invariant} |
|
832 |
\end{center} |
|
833 |
||
834 |
\noindent |
|
156 | 835 |
Finiteness is straightforward, as the @{const Subst} and @{const Arden} operations |
116 | 836 |
keep the equational system finite. These operations also preserve soundness |
113 | 837 |
and distinctness (we proved soundness for @{const Arden} in Lem.~\ref{ardenable}). |
154 | 838 |
The property @{text ardenable} is clearly preserved because the append-operation |
110 | 839 |
cannot make a regular expression to match the empty string. Validity is |
840 |
given because @{const Arden} removes an equivalence class from @{text yrhs} |
|
841 |
and then @{const Subst_all} removes @{text Y} from the equational system. |
|
132 | 842 |
Having proved the implication above, we can instantiate @{text "ES"} with @{text "ES - {(Y, yrhs)}"} |
110 | 843 |
which matches with our proof-obligation of @{const "Subst_all"}. Since |
132 | 844 |
\mbox{@{term "ES = ES - {(Y, yrhs)} \<union> {(Y, yrhs)}"}}, we can use the assumption |
110 | 845 |
to complete the proof.\qed |
107 | 846 |
\end{proof} |
847 |
||
113 | 848 |
\noindent |
849 |
We also need the fact that @{text Iter} decreases the termination measure. |
|
850 |
||
110 | 851 |
\begin{lemma}\label{itertwo} |
104 | 852 |
@{thm[mode=IfThen] iteration_step_measure[simplified (no_asm), where xrhs="rhs"]} |
853 |
\end{lemma} |
|
854 |
||
105 | 855 |
\begin{proof} |
856 |
By assumption we know that @{text "ES"} is finite and has more than one element. |
|
857 |
Therefore there must be an element @{term "(Y, yrhs) \<in> ES"} with |
|
110 | 858 |
@{term "(Y, yrhs) \<noteq> (X, rhs)"}. Using the distinctness property we can infer |
105 | 859 |
that @{term "Y \<noteq> X"}. We further know that @{text "Remove ES Y yrhs"} |
860 |
removes the equation @{text "Y = yrhs"} from the system, and therefore |
|
861 |
the cardinality of @{const Iter} strictly decreases.\qed |
|
862 |
\end{proof} |
|
863 |
||
113 | 864 |
\noindent |
134 | 865 |
This brings us to our property we want to establish for @{text Solve}. |
113 | 866 |
|
867 |
||
104 | 868 |
\begin{lemma} |
869 |
If @{thm (prem 1) Solve} and @{thm (prem 2) Solve} then there exists |
|
870 |
a @{text rhs} such that @{term "Solve X (Init (UNIV // \<approx>A)) = {(X, rhs)}"} |
|
871 |
and @{term "invariant {(X, rhs)}"}. |
|
872 |
\end{lemma} |
|
873 |
||
107 | 874 |
\begin{proof} |
110 | 875 |
In order to prove this lemma using \eqref{whileprinciple}, we have to use a slightly |
876 |
stronger invariant since Lem.~\ref{iterone} and \ref{itertwo} have the precondition |
|
877 |
that @{term "(X, rhs) \<in> ES"} for some @{text rhs}. This precondition is needed |
|
878 |
in order to choose in the @{const Iter}-step an equation that is not \mbox{@{term "X = rhs"}}. |
|
113 | 879 |
Therefore our invariant cannot be just @{term "invariant ES"}, but must be |
110 | 880 |
@{term "invariant ES \<and> (\<exists>rhs. (X, rhs) \<in> ES)"}. By assumption |
881 |
@{thm (prem 2) Solve} and Lem.~\ref{invzero}, the more general invariant holds for |
|
882 |
the initial equational system. This is premise 1 of~\eqref{whileprinciple}. |
|
883 |
Premise 2 is given by Lem.~\ref{iterone} and the fact that @{const Iter} might |
|
884 |
modify the @{text rhs} in the equation @{term "X = rhs"}, but does not remove it. |
|
885 |
Premise 3 of~\eqref{whileprinciple} is by Lem.~\ref{itertwo}. Now in premise 4 |
|
886 |
we like to show that there exists a @{text rhs} such that @{term "ES = {(X, rhs)}"} |
|
887 |
and that @{text "invariant {(X, rhs)}"} holds, provided the condition @{text "Cond"} |
|
113 | 888 |
does not holds. By the stronger invariant we know there exists such a @{text "rhs"} |
110 | 889 |
with @{term "(X, rhs) \<in> ES"}. Because @{text Cond} is not true, we know the cardinality |
123 | 890 |
of @{text ES} is @{text 1}. This means @{text "ES"} must actually be the set @{text "{(X, rhs)}"}, |
110 | 891 |
for which the invariant holds. This allows us to conclude that |
113 | 892 |
@{term "Solve X (Init (UNIV // \<approx>A)) = {(X, rhs)}"} and @{term "invariant {(X, rhs)}"} hold, |
893 |
as needed.\qed |
|
107 | 894 |
\end{proof} |
895 |
||
106 | 896 |
\noindent |
897 |
With this lemma in place we can show that for every equivalence class in @{term "UNIV // \<approx>A"} |
|
898 |
there exists a regular expression. |
|
899 |
||
105 | 900 |
\begin{lemma}\label{every_eqcl_has_reg} |
901 |
@{thm[mode=IfThen] every_eqcl_has_reg} |
|
902 |
\end{lemma} |
|
903 |
||
904 |
\begin{proof} |
|
138 | 905 |
By the preceding lemma, we know that there exists a @{text "rhs"} such |
105 | 906 |
that @{term "Solve X (Init (UNIV // \<approx>A))"} returns the equation @{text "X = rhs"}, |
907 |
and that the invariant holds for this equation. That means we |
|
908 |
know @{text "X = \<Union>\<calL> ` rhs"}. We further know that |
|
109 | 909 |
this is equal to \mbox{@{text "\<Union>\<calL> ` (Arden X rhs)"}} using the properties of the |
123 | 910 |
invariant and Lem.~\ref{ardenable}. Using the validity property for the equation @{text "X = rhs"}, |
156 | 911 |
we can infer that @{term "rhss rhs \<subseteq> {X}"} and because the @{text Arden} operation |
106 | 912 |
removes that @{text X} from @{text rhs}, that @{term "rhss (Arden X rhs) = {}"}. |
113 | 913 |
This means the right-hand side @{term "Arden X rhs"} can only consist of terms of the form @{term "Lam r"}. |
154 | 914 |
So we can collect those (finitely many) regular expressions @{text rs} and have @{term "X = L (\<Uplus>rs)"}. |
106 | 915 |
With this we can conclude the proof.\qed |
105 | 916 |
\end{proof} |
917 |
||
106 | 918 |
\noindent |
919 |
Lem.~\ref{every_eqcl_has_reg} allows us to finally give a proof for the first direction |
|
920 |
of the Myhill-Nerode theorem. |
|
105 | 921 |
|
106 | 922 |
\begin{proof}[of Thm.~\ref{myhillnerodeone}] |
123 | 923 |
By Lem.~\ref{every_eqcl_has_reg} we know that there exists a regular expression for |
105 | 924 |
every equivalence class in @{term "UNIV // \<approx>A"}. Since @{text "finals A"} is |
110 | 925 |
a subset of @{term "UNIV // \<approx>A"}, we also know that for every equivalence class |
123 | 926 |
in @{term "finals A"} there exists a regular expression. Moreover by assumption |
106 | 927 |
we know that @{term "finals A"} must be finite, and therefore there must be a finite |
105 | 928 |
set of regular expressions @{text "rs"} such that |
159 | 929 |
@{term "\<Union>(finals A) = L (\<Uplus>rs)"}. |
105 | 930 |
Since the left-hand side is equal to @{text A}, we can use @{term "\<Uplus>rs"} |
107 | 931 |
as the regular expression that is needed in the theorem.\qed |

the base cases are straightforward. |

154 | 970 |
Much more interesting, however, are the inductive cases. They seem hard to solve |
117 | 971 |
directly. The reader is invited to try. |
972 |
||
135 | 973 |
Our proof will rely on some |
138 | 974 |
\emph{tagging-functions} defined over strings. Given the inductive hypothesis, it will |
135 | 975 |
be easy to prove that the \emph{range} of these tagging-functions is finite |
119 | 976 |
(the range of a function @{text f} is defined as @{text "range f \<equiv> f ` UNIV"}). |
135 | 977 |
With this we will be able to infer that the tagging-functions, seen as relations, |
117 | 978 |
give rise to finitely many equivalence classes of @{const UNIV}. Finally we |
135 | 979 |
will show that the tagging-relations are more refined than @{term "\<approx>(L r)"}, which |
123 | 980 |
implies that @{term "UNIV // \<approx>(L r)"} must also be finite (a relation @{text "R\<^isub>1"} |
981 |
is said to \emph{refine} @{text "R\<^isub>2"} provided @{text "R\<^isub>1 \<subseteq> R\<^isub>2"}). |
|
982 |
We formally define the notion of a \emph{tagging-relation} as follows. |
|
117 | 983 |
|
123 | 984 |
\begin{definition}[Tagging-Relation] Given a tagging-function @{text tag}, then two strings @{text x} |
119 | 985 |
and @{text y} are \emph{tag-related} provided |
117 | 986 |
\begin{center} |
159 | 987 |
@{text "x =tag= y \<equiv> tag x = tag y"}\;. |
117 | 988 |
\end{center} |
989 |
\end{definition} |
|
990 |
||
145 | 991 |
|
123 | 992 |
In order to establish finiteness of a set @{text A}, we shall use the following powerful |
118 | 993 |
principle from Isabelle/HOL's library. |
994 |
% |
|
995 |
\begin{equation}\label{finiteimageD} |

\end{equation} |
|

\noindent |
|
123 | 1000 |
It states that if an image of a set under an injective function @{text f} (injective over this set) |
131 | 1001 |
is finite, then the set @{text A} itself must be finite. We can use it to establish the following |
118 | 1002 |
two lemmas. |
1003 |
||
117 | 1004 |
\begin{lemma}\label{finone} |
1005 |
@{thm[mode=IfThen] finite_eq_tag_rel} |
|
1006 |
\end{lemma} |
|
1007 |
||
1008 |
\begin{proof} |
|
119 | 1009 |
We set in \eqref{finiteimageD}, @{text f} to be @{text "X \<mapsto> tag ` X"}. We have |
123 | 1010 |
@{text "range f"} to be a subset of @{term "Pow (range tag)"}, which we know must be |
119 | 1011 |
finite by assumption. Now @{term "f (UNIV // =tag=)"} is a subset of @{text "range f"}, |
1012 |
and so also finite. Injectivity amounts to showing that @{text "X = Y"} under the |
|
1013 |
assumptions that @{text "X, Y \<in> "}~@{term "UNIV // =tag="} and @{text "f X = f Y"}. |
|
149 | 1014 |
From the assumptions we can obtain @{text "x \<in> X"} and @{text "y \<in> Y"} with |
123 | 1015 |
@{text "tag x = tag y"}. Since @{text x} and @{text y} are tag-related, this in |
1016 |
turn means that the equivalence classes @{text X} |
|
119 | 1017 |
and @{text Y} must be equal.\qed |

\begin{lemma}\label{fintwo} |
|
123 | 1021 |
Given two equivalence relations @{text "R\<^isub>1"} and @{text "R\<^isub>2"}, whereby |
118 | 1022 |
@{text "R\<^isub>1"} refines @{text "R\<^isub>2"}. |
1023 |
If @{thm (prem 1) refined_partition_finite[where ?R1.0="R\<^isub>1" and ?R2.0="R\<^isub>2"]} |

then @{thm (concl) refined_partition_finite[where ?R1.0="R\<^isub>1" and ?R2.0="R\<^isub>2"]}. |
|
117 | 1025 |
\end{lemma} |
1026 |
||
1027 |
\begin{proof} |
|
123 | 1028 |
We prove this lemma again using \eqref{finiteimageD}. This time we set @{text f} to |
118 | 1029 |
be @{text "X \<mapsto>"}~@{term "{R\<^isub>1 `` {x} | x. x \<in> X}"}. It is easy to see that |
135 | 1030 |
@{term "finite (f ` (UNIV // R\<^isub>2))"} because it is a subset of @{term "Pow (UNIV // R\<^isub>1)"}, |
118 | 1031 |
which is finite by assumption. What remains to be shown is that @{text f} is injective |
1032 |
on @{term "UNIV // R\<^isub>2"}. This is equivalent to showing that two equivalence |
|
1033 |
classes, say @{text "X"} and @{text Y}, in @{term "UNIV // R\<^isub>2"} are equal, provided |
|
1034 |
@{text "f X = f Y"}. For @{text "X = Y"} to be equal, we have to find two elements |
|
1035 |
@{text "x \<in> X"} and @{text "y \<in> Y"} such that they are @{text R\<^isub>2} related. |
|
135 | 1036 |
We know there exists a @{text "x \<in> X"} with \mbox{@{term "X = R\<^isub>2 `` {x}"}}. |
1037 |
From the latter fact we can infer that @{term "R\<^isub>1 ``{x} \<in> f X"} |
|
123 | 1038 |
and further @{term "R\<^isub>1 ``{x} \<in> f Y"}. This means we can obtain a @{text y} |
1039 |
such that @{term "R\<^isub>1 `` {x} = R\<^isub>1 `` {y}"} holds. Consequently @{text x} and @{text y} |
|
118 | 1040 |

Chaining Lem.~\ref{finone} and \ref{fintwo} together, means in order to show |
135 | 1046 |
that @{term "UNIV // \<approx>(L r)"} is finite, we have to find a tagging-function whose |
119 | 1047 |
range can be shown to be finite and whose tagging-relation refines @{term "\<approx>(L r)"}. |
123 | 1048 |
Let us attempt the @{const ALT}-case first. |

We can show in general, if @{term "finite (UNIV // \<approx>A)"} and @{term "finite (UNIV // \<approx>B)"} |
|
1060 |
then @{term "finite ((UNIV // \<approx>A) \<times> (UNIV // \<approx>B))"} holds. The range of |
|
127 | 1061 |
@{term "tag_str_ALT A B"} is a subset of this product set---so finite. It remains to be shown |
120 | 1062 |
that @{text "=tag\<^isub>A\<^isub>L\<^isub>T A B="} refines @{term "\<approx>(A \<union> B)"}. This amounts to |

\eqref{pattern} we just have to unfold the definition of the tagging-function and analyse |
123 | 1079 |
in which set, @{text A} or @{text B}, the string @{term "x @ z"} is. |

The definition of the tagging-function will give us in each case the |

Finally we |

1197 |
@{term "tag_str_SEQ A B"} is a subset of this product set, and therefore finite. |

We have to show injectivity of this tagging-function as |

There are two cases to be considered (see pictures above). First, there exists |

a @{text "x'"} such that |
|
127 | 1207 |
@{text "x' \<in> A"}, @{text "x' \<le> x"} and @{text "(x - x') @ z \<in> B"} hold. We therefore have |

@{term "(\<approx>B `` {x - x'}) \<in> ({\<approx>B `` {x - x'} |x'. x' \<le> x \<and> x' \<in> A})"} |

\end{center} |
|
132 | 1212 |

127 | 1213 |

and by the assumption about @{term "tag_str_SEQ A B"} also |
|
132 | 1215 |
% |
127 | 1216 |
\begin{center} |
1217 |
@{term "(\<approx>B `` {x - x'}) \<in> ({\<approx>B `` {y - y'} |y'. y' \<le> y \<and> y' \<in> A})"} |

That means there must be a @{text "y'"} such that @{text "y' \<in> A"} and |
|
1222 |
@{term "\<approx>B `` {x - x'} = \<approx>B `` {y - y'}"}. This equality means that |
|
1223 |
@{term "(x - x') \<approx>B (y - y')"} holds. Unfolding the Myhill-Nerode |
|
1224 |
relation and together with the fact that @{text "(x - x') @ z \<in> B"}, we |
|
1225 |
have @{text "(y - y') @ z \<in> B"}. We already know @{text "y' \<in> A"}, therefore |
|
166 | 1226 |
@{term "y @ z \<in> A \<cdot> B"}, as needed in this case. |
127 | 1227 |
|
1228 |
Second, there exists a @{text "z'"} such that @{term "x @ z' \<in> A"} and @{text "z - z' \<in> B"}. |
|
1229 |
By the assumption about @{term "tag_str_SEQ A B"} we have |
|
1230 |
@{term "\<approx>A `` {x} = \<approx>A `` {y}"} and thus @{term "x \<approx>A y"}. Which means by the Myhill-Nerode |
|
134 | 1231 |
relation that @{term "y @ z' \<in> A"} holds. Using @{text "z - z' \<in> B"}, we can conclude also in this case |
166 | 1232 |
with @{term "y @ z \<in> A \<cdot> B"}. We again can complete the @{const SEQ}-case |
129 | 1233 |
by setting @{text A} to @{term "L r\<^isub>1"} and @{text B} to @{term "L r\<^isub>2"}.\qed |

We can find a strict prefix @{text "x'"} of @{text x} such that @{term "x' \<in> A\<star>"}, |
1282 |
@{text "x' < x"} and the rest @{term "(x - x') @ z \<in> A\<star>"}. For example the empty string |
|
128 | 1283 |
@{text "[]"} would do. |
135 | 1284 |
There are potentially many such prefixes, but there can only be finitely many of them (the |
128 | 1285 |
string @{text x} is finite). Let us therefore choose the longest one and call it |
1286 |
@{text "x'\<^isub>m\<^isub>a\<^isub>x"}. Now for the rest of the string @{text "(x - x'\<^isub>m\<^isub>a\<^isub>x) @ z"} we |
|
135 | 1287 |
know it is in @{term "A\<star>"}. By definition of @{term "A\<star>"}, we can separate |
1288 |
this string into two parts, say @{text "a"} and @{text "b"}, such that @{text "a \<in> A"} |
|
1289 |
and @{term "b \<in> A\<star>"}. Now @{text a} must be strictly longer than @{text "x - x'\<^isub>m\<^isub>a\<^isub>x"}, |
|
128 | 1290 |
otherwise @{text "x'\<^isub>m\<^isub>a\<^isub>x"} is not the longest prefix. That means @{text a} |
1291 |
`overlaps' with @{text z}, splitting it into two components @{text "z\<^isub>a"} and |
|
1292 |
@{text "z\<^isub>b"}. For this we know that @{text "(x - x'\<^isub>m\<^isub>a\<^isub>x) @ z\<^isub>a \<in> A"} and |
|
135 | 1293 |
@{term "z\<^isub>b \<in> A\<star>"}. To cut a story short, we have divided @{term "x @ z \<in> A\<star>"} |
128 | 1294 |
such that we have a string @{text a} with @{text "a \<in> A"} that lies just on the |
145 | 1295 |
`border' of @{text x} and @{text z}. This string is @{text "(x - x'\<^isub>m\<^isub>a\<^isub>x) @ z\<^isub>a"}. |
128 | 1296 |
|
135 | 1297 |
In order to show that @{term "x @ z \<in> A\<star>"} implies @{term "y @ z \<in> A\<star>"}, we use |
128 | 1298 |
the following tagging-function: |

\begin{proof}[@{const STAR}-Case] |
|
130 | 1305 |
If @{term "finite (UNIV // \<approx>A)"} |
1306 |
then @{term "finite (Pow (UNIV // \<approx>A))"} holds. The range of |
|
1307 |
@{term "tag_str_STAR A"} is a subset of this set, and therefore finite. |
|
1308 |
Again we have to show injectivity of this tagging-function as |
|
132 | 1309 |
% |
130 | 1310 |
\begin{center} |
1311 |
@{term "\<forall>z. tag_str_STAR A x = tag_str_STAR A y \<and> x @ z \<in> A\<star> \<longrightarrow> y @ z \<in> A\<star>"} |

\end{center} |
|
132 | 1313 |
% |
130 | 1314 |
\noindent |
1315 |
We first need to consider the case that @{text x} is the empty string. |
|
1316 |
From the assumption we can infer @{text y} is the empty string and |
|
135 | 1317 |
clearly have @{term "y @ z \<in> A\<star>"}. In case @{text x} is not the empty |
134 | 1318 |
string, we can divide the string @{text "x @ z"} as shown in the picture |
135 | 1319 |
above. By the tagging-function we have |
132 | 1320 |
% |
130 | 1321 |
\begin{center} |
1322 |
@{term "\<approx>A `` {(x - x'\<^isub>m\<^isub>a\<^isub>x)} \<in> ({\<approx>A `` {x - x'} |x'. x' < x \<and> x' \<in> A\<star>})"} |
|
1323 |
\end{center} |
|
132 | 1324 |
% |
130 | 1325 |
\noindent |
1326 |
which by assumption is equal to |
|
132 | 1327 |
% |
130 | 1328 |
\begin{center} |
1329 |
@{term "\<approx>A `` {(x - x'\<^isub>m\<^isub>a\<^isub>x)} \<in> ({\<approx>A `` {y - y'} |y'. y' < y \<and> y' \<in> A\<star>})"} |
|
1330 |
\end{center} |
|
132 | 1331 |
% |
130 | 1332 |
\noindent |
135 | 1333 |
and we know that we have a @{term "y' \<in> A\<star>"} and @{text "y' < y"} |
132 | 1334 |
and also know @{term "(x - x'\<^isub>m\<^isub>a\<^isub>x) \<approx>A (y - y')"}. Unfolding the Myhill-Nerode |
135 | 1335 |
relation we know @{term "(y - y') @ z\<^isub>a \<in> A"}. We also know that @{term "z\<^isub>b \<in> A\<star>"}. |
1336 |
Therefore @{term "y' @ ((y - y') @ z\<^isub>a) @ z\<^isub>b \<in> A\<star>"}, which means |
|
1337 |
@{term "y @ z \<in> A\<star>"}. As the last step we have to set @{text "A"} to @{term "L r"} and |
|
132 | 1338 |
complete the proof.\qed |

In this paper we took the view that a regular language is one where there |
115 | 1348 |
exists a regular expression that matches all of its strings. Regular |
145 | 1349 |
expressions can conveniently be defined as a datatype in HOL-based theorem |
1350 |
provers. For us it was therefore interesting to find out how far we can push |
|
154 | 1351 |
this point of view. We have established in Isabelle/HOL both directions |
1352 |
of the Myhill-Nerode theorem. |
|
132 | 1353 |
% |
1354 |
\begin{theorem}[The Myhill-Nerode Theorem]\mbox{}\\ |
|
1355 |
A language @{text A} is regular if and only if @{thm (rhs) Myhill_Nerode}. |
|
1356 |
\end{theorem} |
|
1357 |
% |
|
1358 |
\noindent |
|
1359 |
Having formalised this theorem means we |
|
1360 |
pushed our point of view quite far. Using this theorem we can obviously prove when a language |
|
112 | 1361 |
is \emph{not} regular---by establishing that it has infinitely many |
1362 |
equivalence classes generated by the Myhill-Nerode relation (this is usually |
|
1363 |
the purpose of the pumping lemma \cite{Kozen97}). We can also use it to |
|
1364 |
establish the standard textbook results about closure properties of regular |
|
1365 |
languages. Interesting is the case of closure under complement, because |
|
1366 |
it seems difficult to construct a regular expression for the complement |
|
113 | 1367 |
language by direct means. However the existence of such a regular expression |
1368 |
can be easily proved using the Myhill-Nerode theorem since |
|
132 | 1369 |
% |
112 | 1370 |
\begin{center} |
1371 |
@{term "s\<^isub>1 \<approx>A s\<^isub>2"} if and only if @{term "s\<^isub>1 \<approx>(-A) s\<^isub>2"} |
|
1372 |
\end{center} |
|
132 | 1373 |
% |
112 | 1374 |
\noindent |
1375 |
holds for any strings @{text "s\<^isub>1"} and @{text |
|
114 | 1376 |
"s\<^isub>2"}. Therefore @{text A} and the complement language @{term "-A"} give rise to the same |
159 | 1377 |
partitions. Proving the existence of such a regular expression via automata |
1378 |
using the standard method would |
|
114 | 1379 |
be quite involved. It includes the |
112 | 1380 |
steps: regular expression @{text "\<Rightarrow>"} non-deterministic automaton @{text |
1381 |
"\<Rightarrow>"} deterministic automaton @{text "\<Rightarrow>"} complement automaton @{text "\<Rightarrow>"} |
|
1382 |
regular expression. |
|
1383 |
||
116 | 1384 |
While regular expressions are convenient in formalisations, they have some |
122 | 1385 |
limitations. One is that there seems to be no method of calculating a |
123 | 1386 |
minimal regular expression (for example in terms of length) for a regular |
1387 |
language, like there is |
|
1388 |
for automata. On the other hand, efficient regular expression matching, |
|
1389 |
without using automata, poses no problem \cite{OwensReppyTuron09}. |
|
1390 |
For an implementation of a simple regular expression matcher, |
|
122 | 1391 |
whose correctness has been formally established, we refer the reader to |
1392 |
Owens and Slind \cite{OwensSlind08}. |

1395 |
Our formalisation consists of 780 lines of Isabelle/Isar code for the first |
149 | 1396 |
direction and 460 for the second, plus around 300 lines of standard material about |
122 | 1397 |
regular languages. While this might be seen as too large to count as a |
1398 |
concise proof pearl, this should be seen in the context of the work done by |
|
1399 |
Constable at al \cite{Constable00} who formalised the Myhill-Nerode theorem |
|
1400 |
in Nuprl using automata. They write that their four-member team needed |
|
134 | 1401 |
something on the magnitude of 18 months for their formalisation. The |
122 | 1402 |
estimate for our formalisation is that we needed approximately 3 months and |
1403 |
this included the time to find our proof arguments. Unlike Constable et al, |
|
1404 |
who were able to follow the proofs from \cite{HopcroftUllman69}, we had to |
|
1405 |
find our own arguments. So for us the formalisation was not the |
|
1406 |
bottleneck. It is hard to gauge the size of a formalisation in Nurpl, but |
|
1407 |
from what is shown in the Nuprl Math Library about their development it |
|
1408 |
seems substantially larger than ours. The code of ours can be found in the |
|
1409 |
Mercurial Repository at |
|
132 | 1410 |
\mbox{\url{http://www4.in.tum.de/~urbanc/regexp.html}}. |
113 | 1411 |
|
112 | 1412 |
|
1413 |
Our proof of the first direction is very much inspired by \emph{Brzozowski's |
|
134 | 1414 |
algebraic method} used to convert a finite automaton to a regular |
113 | 1415 |
expression \cite{Brzozowski64}. The close connection can be seen by considering the equivalence |
111 | 1416 |
classes as the states of the minimal automaton for the regular language. |
114 | 1417 |
However there are some subtle differences. Since we identify equivalence |
111 | 1418 |
classes with the states of the automaton, then the most natural choice is to |
1419 |
characterise each state with the set of strings starting from the initial |
|
113 | 1420 |
state leading up to that state. Usually, however, the states are characterised as the |
123 | 1421 |
strings starting from that state leading to the terminal states. The first |
1422 |
choice has consequences about how the initial equational system is set up. We have |
|
115 | 1423 |
the $\lambda$-term on our `initial state', while Brzozowski has it on the |
111 | 1424 |
terminal states. This means we also need to reverse the direction of Arden's |
156 | 1425 |
Lemma. |
92 | 1426 |
|
112 | 1427 |
We briefly considered using the method Brzozowski presented in the Appendix |
113 | 1428 |
of~\cite{Brzozowski64} in order to prove the second direction of the |
112 | 1429 |
Myhill-Nerode theorem. There he calculates the derivatives for regular |
159 | 1430 |
expressions and shows that for every language there can be only |
1431 |
finitely many of them %derivations |
|
1432 |
(if regarded equal modulo ACI). We could |
|
1433 |
have used as tagging-function the set of derivatives of a regular expression |
|
1434 |
with respect to a language. Using the fact that two strings are |
|
123 | 1435 |
Myhill-Nerode related whenever their derivative is the same, together with |
156 | 1436 |
the fact that there are only finitely such derivatives |
1437 |
would give us a similar argument as ours. However it seems not so easy to |
|
159 | 1438 |
calculate the set of derivatives modulo ACI. Therefore we preferred our |
123 | 1439 |
direct method of using tagging-functions. This |
112 | 1440 |
is also where our method shines, because we can completely side-step the |
1441 |
standard argument \cite{Kozen97} where automata need to be composed, which |
|
159 | 1442 |
as stated in the Introduction is not so easy to formalise in a |

HOL-based theorem prover. However, it is also the direction where we had to |
123 | 1444 |
spend most of the `conceptual' time, as our proof-argument based on tagging-functions |
1445 |
is new for establishing the Myhill-Nerode theorem. All standard proofs |
|
159 | 1446 |
of this direction use %proceed by |
1447 |
