  (HOL), for example HOL4, HOLlight or Isabelle/HOL. For the development
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   144
  presented in this paper we will use the latter. HOL is a predicate calculus
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   145
  that allows quantification over predicate variables. Its type system is
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   146
  based on Church's Simple Theory of Types \cite{Church40}.  Although 
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   147
  many mathematical concepts can be conveniently expressed in HOL, there are some
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc

   148
  limitations that hurt badly, if one attempts a simple-minded formalisation

  The typical approach to regular languages is to introduce finite automata
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   152
  and then define everything in terms of them \cite{Kozen97}.  For example, 
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc

   153
  a regular language is normally defined as:

  A language @{text A} is \emph{regular}, provided there is a

edc642266a82 polished the introduction

  This approach has many benefits. Among them is the fact that it is easy to
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   162
  convince oneself that regular languages are closed under complementation:
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   163
  one just has to exchange the accepting and non-accepting states in the
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   164
  corresponding automaton to obtain an automaton for the complement language.
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   165
  The problem, however, lies with formalising such reasoning in a HOL-based
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   166
  theorem prover. Automata are built up from states and transitions that need
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174

   167
  to be represented as graphs, matrices or functions, none of which can be

  To our best knowledge, our proof of the Myhill-Nerode theorem is the first
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   351
  that is based on regular expressions, only. The part of this theorem stating
edc642266a82 polished the introduction
urbanc
parents: 174
diff changeset
   352
  that finitely many partitions imply regularity of the language is proved by
181
97090fc7aa9f some experiments with the proofs in Myhill_2
urbanc

  an argument about solving equational systems.  This argument appears to be
175

  In order to prove this lemma using \eqref{whileprinciple}, we have to use a slightly
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc
parents: 109
diff changeset
  1009
  stronger invariant since Lem.~\ref{iterone} and \ref{itertwo} have the precondition 
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc
parents: 109
diff changeset
  1010
  that @{term "(X, rhs) \<in> ES"} for some @{text rhs}. This precondition is needed
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc
parents: 109
diff changeset
  1011
  in order to choose in the @{const Iter}-step an equation that is not \mbox{@{term "X = rhs"}}.
113
ec774952190c polished everything
urbanc
parents: 112
diff changeset
  1012
  Therefore our invariant cannot be just @{term "invariant ES"}, but must be 
110
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc
parents: 109
diff changeset
  1013
  @{term "invariant ES \<and> (\<exists>rhs. (X, rhs) \<in> ES)"}. By assumption 
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc
parents: 109
diff changeset
  1014
  @{thm (prem 2) Solve} and Lem.~\ref{invzero}, the more general invariant holds for
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc
parents: 109

  the initial equational system. This is premise 1 of~\eqref{whileprinciple}.
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc

  1016
  Premise 2 is given by Lem.~\ref{iterone} and the fact that @{const Iter} might

urbanc

  modify the @{text rhs} in the equation @{term "X = rhs"}, but does not remove it.
e500cab16be4 completed first direction

  Premise 3 of~\eqref{whileprinciple} is by Lem.~\ref{itertwo}. Now in premise 4
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc
parents: 109
diff changeset
  1019
  we like to show that there exists a @{text rhs} such that @{term "ES = {(X, rhs)}"}
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc
parents: 109
diff changeset
  1020
  and that @{text "invariant {(X, rhs)}"} holds, provided the condition @{text "Cond"}
113
ec774952190c polished everything
urbanc
parents: 112
diff changeset
  1021
  does not holds. By the stronger invariant we know there exists such a @{text "rhs"}
110
e500cab16be4 completed first direction
urbanc
parents: 109
diff changeset
  1022
  with @{term "(X, rhs) \<in> ES"}. Because @{text Cond} is not true, we know the cardinality
123
23c0e6f2929d polished everywhere...two cases still missing
urbanc

  of @{text ES} is @{text 1}. This means @{text "ES"} must actually be the set @{text "{(X, rhs)}"},
110
e500cab16be4 completed first direction

c3fa11ee776e first proof
urbanc

  @{text "f X = f Y"}. For @{text "X = Y"} to be equal, we have to find two elements

  We know there exists a @{text "x \<in> X"} with \mbox{@{term "X = R\<^isub>2 `` {x}"}}.

  "(\<approx>A `` {x}, \<approx>B `` {x}) = (\<approx>A `` {y}, \<approx>B `` {y})"} holds by assumption. Then

  We can find a strict prefix @{text "x'"} of @{text x} such that @{term "x' \<in> A\<star>"},
