Ce tutoriel présente les fonctionnalités de base que nous utiliserons pour définir la sémantique du langage Niklaus :
- définition de types de données
- définition de fonctions
- preuves par application de règles (apply) ou structurées (bloc proof/qed en Isar)
D'autres constructions seront présentées lorsqu'elles seront nécessaires.

Exercices
Après avoir fait ce tutoriel, faites les deux exercices suivants. Vous pouvez télécharger le fichier suivant pour démarrer : TutoExos.thy
Fonction inductive
Définissez une fonction snoc l x qui ajoute x à la fin de l, ainsi qu'une fonction rev_snoc l qui utilise snoc pour inverser l. Prouvez que rev_snoc l = rev l.
Preuve par induction avec une hypothèse plus forte
Cet exercice est plus difficile, mais il met en évidence l'importance du choix de l'hypothèse de récurrence dans une preuve par induction.
Définissez une fonction rev_acc qui inverse une liste par accumulation dans un second argument, et prouvez que rev_acc l [] = rev l. Dans cette démonstration, l'hypothèse de récurrence est trop faible car elle ne traite que le cas ou le second argument de rev_acc est la liste vide. Il faut donc établir un lemme plus général qui permettra de faire le raisonnement par induction. De plus, pour démontrer ce lemme par induction, nous aurons besoin de l'utiliser avec une autre valeur du second argument de rev_acc, il faut donc indiquer que cet argument est une variable libre grâce à arbitrary: r si l'argument est r.

section ‹Definition of a data type›
text ‹
We define a data type named list, which takes a type 'a as parameter.
This data type has two constructors:
▪ Nil, a constant which corresponds to the empty list, and is also noted []
▪ Cons, which adds an item (of type 'a) in front of the list, and is also noted #
Such a type is an inductive data type because it is defined by induction on
its constants and constructors.

Nil ("[]") (* notation for the empty list *)

Exemples of useful commands to find theorems and print known facts.
To see the result of a command, put the cursor just after the command,
and look in the "Output" panel. You may have to click on the "Output" button below to make the panel appear.
Here, we see that "datatype" has generated a lot of theorems about the new type.
Among them are "list.induct" which allows us to make proofs by structural
induction on lists, and "list.simps" which gives the simplification rules
for list terms.

text ‹
The list.induct theorem has been generated automatically from the
inductive definition of the "list" type.
It states that for any predicate P, if P holds for the empty list,
and if for any item x1 and any list x2, when P holds for x2,
it also holds for x1#x2, then P holds for any list.

section ‹About Curryfication›
text ‹
Curryfication is named after Haskell Curry.
In Isabelle, functions are in curryfied form:
f: A × B → C
(x, y) ↦ z
is written as:
f: A → (B → C)
x ↦ (λy. z)
so "f x" is a function which takes the second argument of f to provide the result,
and "f x y" is read as "(f x) y"

abbreviation "inc ≡ sum 1"

section ‹Defining functions›
text ‹
To define a function on an inductive data type, it is sufficient
to define it for each of the constructors.
For a list, we have to define the function for the empty list and
for the list obtained by Cons from another list.

text ‹
Append a list to the end of another list (concatenation).
append(l1, l2) is written append l1 l2 (Curryfication).
Thanks to the infix notation, it can also be written l1@l2
›
fun append:: "'a list ⇒ 'a list ⇒ 'a list" (infixr "@" 65)
where
"[] @ l2 = l2"
| "(x # l1) @ l2 = x # (l1 @ l2)"
value "(a # b # c # []) @ (d # e # [])"
text ‹
You can see here that since a, b, c, d, and e are free variables, their type
is not known and is represented by the 'a type variable.
The list is therefore an 'a list.
Below, we set the type of the items to nat, so the list becomes a nat list.
Note that it is only necessary to set the type of one item because
all items in a list are of the same type. Here, we have to choose a type
for 1 because in Isabelle/HOL, 1 may be of any numeral type.

section ‹Proving facts›
text ‹
A lemma stating that appending the empty list to a list does nothing.
This lemma is proved automatically by induction on the list and then applying the
simplifier several times. 'simp' applies the simplifier, '+' means as many times
as necessary to prove all goals.
The "[simp]" modifier after the name of the lemma says that this lemma can be added
to the list of facts used by the simp method to simplify terms.
One should be careful when annotating lemmas with [simp]: the lemma
should really simplify a term, else the simplifier may enter an infinite loop!

text ‹This can also be written as ⬚‹by (induction l, simp+)››
text ‹A structured proof of the same lemma›
text ‹
Structured proofs are enclosed between "proof" and "qed".
"proof" can be followed by a method to rewrite the goal. Here, we
use induction on l. If you do not give a method, Isabelle will
try to find a suitable one. If you want to work on the raw fact,
simply put "-" (minus) after "proof". The goal to prove is defined
as the ⬚‹?thesis› variable. The proof must end with ⬚‹show ?thesis by method›
(⬚‹thus› is a shortcut for ⬚‹from this show›).
Induction on l uses the @{thm list.induct} theorem to split the goal
in two cases. We can display these cases using the ⬚‹print_cases›
command. We have cases Nil and Cons. Writing ⬚‹case Nil› puts
us in the context of the Nil case, where the subgoal to prove
is defined as the ⬚‹?case› variable. You must write ⬚‹next› to close
a case before going to the next one.
Several patterns can be used in such proofs:
▪ ⬚‹from <fact1> have <fact2> by <method>›
This derives <fact2> from <fact1> using <method>. Method "simp"
uses facts marked as [simp] to rewrite <fact1>. Method "auto"
uses simp and tries to solve all pending goals. Instead of
⬚‹by <method>›, you can use "." when <fact1> and <fact2> are identical.
▪ ⬚‹have <fact2> using <fact1> by <method>›
This is identical to ⬚‹from <fact1> have <fact2> by <method>›
▪ The last result is known as "this". When you want to derive
a fact from this, you can write ⬚‹hence <fact2>› instead of
⬚‹from this have <fact2>›. You can also write ⬚‹with <fact1> have <fact2>›
instead of ⬚‹from <fact1> and this have <fact2>›.
▪ proving a fact by transitivity:
⬚‹have "x1 = x2" by <method>
also have "... = x3" by <method>
{* more steps here *}
also have "... = xn" by <method>
finally have "x1 = xn" by <method>›
▪ accumulating facts:
⬚‹have <fact1> by <method>
moreover have <fact2> by <method>
{* more steps here *}
moreover have <factn> by <method>
ultimately have <conclusion> by <method>›
You can use the "print_facts" command to display the known facts.
