The NB language, back again

In this notebook, we will be working with a language very similar to the NB language from the first assignment.

Definitions

Grammar and terms

The grammar of our language would be defined as follows:

t  ::= "true"                   terms
     | "false"
     | "if" t "then" t "else" t
     | 0
     | "succ" t
     | "pred" t
     | "iszero" t

To represent the terms of this language in Coq, we will define tm, an Inductive data type:

Inductive tm : Set :=
| tm_true : tm
| tm_false : tm
| tm_if : tm -> tm -> tm -> tm
| tm_zero : tm
| tm_succ : tm -> tm
| tm_pred : tm -> tm
| tm_iszero : tm -> tm.

Compare the two definitions. For every rule in the grammar, there is a corresponding constructor. Each constructor is a value in Coq that allows us to obtain values of type tm. In contrast to the previous notebook, here we annotate every constructor with a type. tm_true is a constructor corresponding to the terminal rule "true" - it takes no arguments and is therefore annotated with the simple type tm. tm_succ is a constructor corresponding to the "succ" t rule - since the rule has a single subterm, the constructor is a function from tm to tm.

Using the above definition, we can create values corresponding to the terms in our language:

(* Represents "if (iszero 0) false true" *)
Check (tm_if (tm_iszero tm_zero) tm_false tm_true).

Definition of value

Next, we want to define what it means to be a value in our language. While in the original NB language we did so through grammar rules, it's equally valid to define a judgment which tells us which terms are boolean and numeric values (correspondingly, bvalue and nvalue):

  ---------------  (b_true)
  ⊢ bvalue (true)

  ---------------- (b_false)
  ⊢ bvalue (false)

  
  ---------- (n_zero)
  ⊢ nvalue 0
  
     ⊢ nvalue t
  ----------------- (n_succ)
  ⊢ nvalue (succ t)

Recall that from Curry-Howard correspondence we know that types correspond to propositions and values correspond to proofs. Therefore, we can represent the above judgements in Coq by defining types corresponding to the judgments. Those types are bvalue t and nvalue t. Being able to create a well-typed value of type nvalue t is the same as being able to construct a proof that a given term is an nvalue; same notion applies to bvalue t.

We define said types as follows:

Inductive bvalue : tm -> Prop := 
| b_true : bvalue tm_true 
| b_false : bvalue tm_false.

Inductive nvalue : tm -> Prop :=
| n_zero : nvalue tm_zero
| n_succ : forall t,
    nvalue t ->
    nvalue (tm_succ t).

Those definitions should look similar to the inference rules above, although they may also look slightly confusing. Before trying to understand their every part, it may help to see how they are meant to be used.

Again, the type nvalue t represents the proposition that t is a numeric value. For instance, nvalue (tm_succ tm_zero) represents the proposition that the successor of zero (or simply one) is a numeric value. To show that this proposition is true, we need to construct a value of said type. We can do that as follows:

Check (n_succ tm_zero n_zero).

You should now go back to the definitions and try to understand how they represent their corresponding inference rules.

One thing that may still be puzzling are the Set and tm -> Prop annotation. If you are suspecting that the second one mentions tm -> because the corresponding type is a type-level function from tm to Prop, you'd be correct:

Check nvalue.
Check nvalue tm_zero.

The difference between Set and Prop is much more subtle and fundamental. To put it briefly, types annotated as Set are meant to be used as data types, while those annotated as Prop are meant to be used as propositions. Fully explaining this distinction is beyond the scope of this course, but the above intuition should serve you well enough.

As the last thing in this section, we will (finally) define what it means to be a value. If you recall that T \/ S is the data type corresponding to the proof that either T or S, the definition is simple enough:

Definition value (t : tm) : Prop :=
  bvalue t \/ nvalue t.

Operational semantics

Having defined tms and values, we can define call-by-value operational semantics for our language. We will define an inductive data type eval (t : tm) (t' : tm) : Prop corresponding to the proposition that t evaluates to t' in a single step. The definition is as follows:

Inductive eval : tm -> tm -> Prop :=
| e_iftrue : forall t2 t3,
    eval (tm_if tm_true t2 t3) t2
| e_iffalse : forall t2 t3,
    eval (tm_if tm_false t2 t3) t3
| e_if : forall t1 t1' t2 t3,
    eval t1 t1' ->
    eval (tm_if t1 t2 t3) (tm_if t1' t2 t3)
| e_succ : forall t t',
    eval t t' ->
    eval (tm_succ t) (tm_succ t')
| e_predzero :
    eval (tm_pred tm_zero) tm_zero
| e_predsucc : forall t,
    nvalue t ->
    eval (tm_pred (tm_succ t)) t
| e_pred : forall t t',
    eval t t' ->
    eval (tm_pred t) (tm_pred t')
| e_iszerozero :
    eval (tm_iszero tm_zero) tm_true
| e_iszerosucc : forall t,
    nvalue t ->
    eval (tm_iszero (tm_succ t)) tm_false
| e_iszero : forall t t',
    eval t t' ->
    eval (tm_iszero t) (tm_iszero t').

If you don't feel comfortable with Coq syntax yet, compare the above with the definition of beta-reduction from our first assignment.

Next, we define the multi-step evaluation relation eval_many, corresponding to multi-step beta-reduction.

Its inference rules are:

 -------------  (m_refl)
 eval_many t t 
 
 eval t t'    eval_many t' u
 ---------------------------  (m_step)
       eval_many t u

And its definition is:

Inductive eval_many : tm -> tm -> Prop :=
| m_refl : forall t,
    eval_many t t
| m_step : forall t t' u,
    eval t t' ->
    eval_many t' u ->
    eval_many t u.

We say that a term is a normal_form if there is no term to which it can step. We can define this in Coq as follows:

Definition normal_form (t : tm) : Prop :=
  ~ exists t', eval t t'.

This definition uses negation ~ and an existential qualifier, notions which we will explain later.

Exercises

Exercise Multi-step evaluation is often defined as the "reflexive, transitive closure" of single-step evaluation. Write an inductively defined relation eval_rtc that corresponds to that verbal description.

In case you get stuck or need a hint, you can find solutions to all the exercises near the bottom of the file.

Exercise Sometimes it is more convenient to use a big-step semantics for a language. Add the remaining constructors to finish the inductive definition full_eval for the big-step semantics that corresponds to the small-step semantics defined by eval. Build the inference rules so that full_eval t v logically implies both eval_many t v and value v. In order to do this, you may need to add the premise nvalue v to the appropriate cases.

Hint: You should end up with a total of 8 cases.

Inductive full_eval : tm -> tm -> Prop :=
| f_value : forall v,
    value v ->
    full_eval v v
| f_iftrue : forall t1 t2 t3 v,
    full_eval t1 tm_true ->
    full_eval t2 v ->
    full_eval (tm_if t1 t2 t3) v
| f_succ : forall t v,
    nvalue v ->
    full_eval t v ->
    full_eval (tm_succ t) (tm_succ v).

Proofs

So far, we've only seen proofs represented in Coq as manually-constructed values. For any non-trivial proof value, it's rather inconvenient to manually construct it.

Proof values are most easily built interactively, using tactics to manipulate a proof state. A proof state consists of a set of goals (propositions or types for which you must produce an inhabitant), each with a context of hypotheses (inhabitants of propositions or types you are allowed to use). A proof state begins initially with one goal (the statement of the lemma you are trying to prove) and no hypotheses. A goal can be solved, and thereby eliminated, when it exactly matches one of hypotheses in the context. A proof is completed when all goals are solved.

Tactics can be used for forward reasoning (which, roughly speaking, means modifying the hypotheses of a context while leaving the goal unchanged) or backward reasoning (replacing the current goal with one or more new goals in simpler contexts). Given the level of detail required in a formal proof, it would be ridiculously impractical to complete a proof using forward reasoning alone. However it is usually both possible and practical to complete a proof using backward reasoning alone. Therefore, we focus almost exclusively on backward reasoning in this tutorial. Of course, most people naturally use a significant amount of forward reasoning in their thinking process, so it may take you a while to become accustomed to getting by without it.

We use the keyword Lemma to state a new proposition we wish to prove. (Theorem and Fact are exact synonyms for Lemma.) The keyword Proof, immediately following the statement of the proposition, indicates the beginning of a proof script. A proof script is a sequence of tactic expressions, each concluding with a .. Once all of the goals are solved, we use the keyword Qed to record the completed proof. If the proof is incomplete, we may tell Coq to accept the lemma on faith by using Admitted instead of Qed.

We now proceed to introduce the specific proof tactics.

Implication and universal quantification

    - [intros]
    - [apply]
    - [apply with (x := ...)]

Recall that both implication and universal quantification correspond to function types and values. Accordingly, we can use the intros tactic to move universally quantified variables and implication antecedents from the goal into the context as hypotheses.

If our current goal corresponds to a conclusion of some implication P, we can use the apply P tactic to prove our goal by proving the antecedents of P. If you'd suspect from the name of the tactic that this corresponds to applying a function, you'd be correct. Using apply allows building a proof value from the bottom up.

Example 1

In the following example, we will create a value corresponding to a (still) simple proposition. Step through every cell below to see how this value is constructed.

Lemma e_succ_pred_succ : forall t,
  nvalue t ->
  eval (tm_succ (tm_pred (tm_succ t))) (tm_succ t).
Proof.
  (** Let [t] be a [tm]. *)
  intros t.
  (** Assume that [t] is an [nvalue] (and let's call that
      assumption [Hn] for future reference). *)
  intros Hn.
  (** By [e_succ], in order to prove our conclusion, it suffices
      to prove that [eval (tm_pred (tm_succ t)) t]. *)
  Check e_succ.
  apply e_succ.
  (** That, in turn, can be shown by [e_predsucc], if we are
      able to show that [nvalue t]. *)
  Check e_predsucc.
  apply e_predsucc.
  (** But, in fact, we assumed [nvalue t]. *)
  apply Hn.
Qed.

At this point, we have successfully concluded our proof; e_succ_pred_succ is a value that can be used like any other value we have seen so far. This value corresponds to the following proof tree:

                        nvalue t
             ---------------------------- (e_predsucc)
             eval (tm_pred (tm_succ t)) t
    ------------------------------------------------ (e_succ)
    eval (tm_succ (tm_pred (tm_succ t))) (tm_succ t)

We can see the value we have constructed with the following command:

Print e_succ_pred_succ.

Compare the value to the proof script above. Observe how function application in the value corresponds to usages of apply tactic.

Example 2

Now consider, for a moment, the rule m_step:

    eval t t'  eval_many t' u
    ------------------------- (m_step)
          eval_many t u

If we have a goal such as eval_many e1 e2, we should be able to use apply m_step in order to replace it with the goals eval e1 t' and eval_many t' e2. But what exactly is t' here? When and how is it chosen? It stands to reason the conclusion is justified if we can come up with any t' for which the premises can be justified.

Now we note that, in the Coq syntax for the type of m_step, all three variables t, t', and u are universally quantified. The tactic apply m_step will use pattern matching between our goal and the conclusion of m_step to find the only possible instantiation of t and u. However, apply m_step will raise an error since it does not know how it should instantiate t'. In this case, the apply tactic takes a with clause that allows us to provide this instantiation. This is demonstrated in the proof below.

Observe how this works in the proof script below. The proof tree here gives a visual representation of the proof term we are going to construct and the proof script has again been annotated with the steps in English.

    Letting   s = tm_succ
              p = tm_pred
            lem = e_succ_pred_succ,

            nvalue t
    - - - - - - - - - - - - (lem)    --------------------- (m_refl)
    eval (s (p (s t))) (s t)         eval_many (s t) (s t)
    ------------------------------------------------------ (m_step)
                  eval_many (s (p (s t))) (s t)
Lemma m_succ_pred_succ : forall t,
  nvalue t ->
  eval_many (tm_succ (tm_pred (tm_succ t))) (tm_succ t).
Proof.
  (** Let [t] be a [tm], and assume [nvalue t]. *)
  intros t Hn.
  (** By [m_step], to show our conclusion, it suffices to find
      some [t'] for which
        [eval (tm_succ (tm_pred (tm_succ t))) t']
      and
        [eval t' (tm_succ t)].
      Let us choose [t'] to be [tm_succ t]. *)
  Check m_step.
  apply m_step with (t' := tm_succ t).
    (** By the lemma [e_succ_pred_succ], to show
          [eval (tm_succ (tm_pred (tm_succ t))) (tm_succ t)],
        it suffices to show [nvalue t]. *)
    Check e_succ_pred_succ.
    apply e_succ_pred_succ.
    (** And, in fact, we assumed [nvalue t]. *)
    apply Hn.
    (** Moreover, by the rule [m_refl], we also may conclude
        [eval (tm_succ t) (tm_succ t)]. *)
    Check m_refl.
    apply m_refl.
Qed.

Example 3

Any tactic like apply that takes the name of a constructor or lemma as an argument can just as easily be given a more complicated expression as an argument. Thus, we may use function application to construct proof objects on the fly in these cases. Observe how this technique can be used to rewrite the proof of the previous lemma.

Although, we have eliminated one use of apply, this is not necessarily an improvement over the previous proof. However, there are cases where this technique is quite valuable.

Lemma m_succ_pred_succ_alt : forall t,
  nvalue t ->
  eval_many (tm_succ (tm_pred (tm_succ t))) (tm_succ t).
Proof.
  intros t Hn.
  Check m_step.
  apply (m_step
         (tm_succ (tm_pred (tm_succ t)))
         (tm_succ t)
         (tm_succ t)
        ).
    Check e_succ_pred_succ.
    apply (e_succ_pred_succ t Hn).
    apply t.
    Check m_refl.
    apply (m_refl (tm_succ t)).
Qed.

Lab 1

Write proof scripts for the following lemmas, following the plain language descriptions.

These lemmas will be useful in later proofs.

Lemma m_one : forall t1 t2,
  eval t1 t2 ->
  eval_many t1 t2.
  (** Let [t1] and [t2] be terms, and assume [eval t1 t2].  We
      may conclude [eval_many t1 t2] by [m_step] if we can find
      a term [t'] such that [eval t1 t'] and [eval_many t' t2].
      We will choose [t'] to be [t2].  Now we can show
      [eval t1 t2] by our assumption, and we can show
      [eval_many t2 t2] by [m_refl]. *)
Proof.
  (* to finish *)
Admitted.
Lemma m_two : forall t1 t2 t3,
  eval t1 t2 ->
  eval t2 t3 ->
  eval_many t1 t3.
  (** Let [t1], [t2], and [t3] be terms.  Assume [eval t1 t2]
      and [eval t2 t3].  By [m_step], we may conclude that
      [eval_many t1 t3] if we can find a term [t'] such that
      [eval t1 t'] and [eval_many t' t3].  Let's choose [t'] to
      be [t2].  We know [eval t1 t2] holds by assumption.  In
      the other case, by the lemma [m_one], to show [eval_many
      t2 t3], it suffices to show [eval t2 t3], which is one of
      our assumptions.  *)
Proof.
  (* to finish *)
Admitted.
Lemma m_iftrue_step : forall t t1 t2 u,
  eval t tm_true ->
  eval_many t1 u ->
  eval_many (tm_if t t1 t2) u.
  (** Let [t], [t1], [t2], and [u] be terms.  Assume that
      [eval t tm_true] and [eval_many t1 u].  To show
      [eval_many (tm_if t t1 t2) u], by [m_step], it suffices to
      find a [t'] for which [eval (tm_if t t1 t2) t'] and
      [eval_many t' u].  Let us choose [t'] to be
      [tm_if tm_true t1 t2].  Now we can use [e_if] to show that
      [eval (tm_if t t1 t2) (tm_if tm_true t1 t2)] if we can
      show [eval t tm_true], which is actually one of our
      assumptions.  Moreover, using [m_step] once more, we can
      show [eval_many (tm_if tm_true t1 t2) u] where [t'] is
      chosen to be [t1].  Doing so leaves us to show
      [eval (tm_if tm_true t1 t2) t1] and [eval_many t1 u].  The
      former holds by [e_iftrue] and the latter holds by
      assumption. *)
Proof.
  (* to finish *)
Admitted.

Working with Definitions

    - [unfold]

There is a notion of equivalence on Coq terms that arises from the conversion rules of the underlying calculus of constructions. It is sometimes useful to be able to replace one term in a proof with an equivalent one. For instance, we may want to replace a defined name with its definition. This sort of replacement can be done the tactic unfold. This tactic can be used to manipulate the goal or the hypotheses.

Definition strongly_diverges t :=
  forall u, eval_many t u -> ~ normal_form u.
Lemma unfold_example : forall t t',
  strongly_diverges t ->
  eval t t' ->
  strongly_diverges t'.
Proof.
  intros t t' Hd He.
   unfold strongly_diverges. intros u Hm.
   unfold strongly_diverges in Hd.
   apply Hd. apply m_step with (t' := t').
    apply He.
    apply Hm.
Qed.

Exercise In reality, many tactics will perform conversion automatically as necessary. Try removing the uses of unfold from the above proof to check which ones were necessary.

Working with Conjunction and Disjunction

    - [split]
    - [left]
    - [right]
    - [destruct] (for conjunction and disjunction)

Example If H is the name of a conjunctive hypothesis, then destruct H as p will replace the hypothesis H with its components using the names in the pattern p. Observe the pattern in the example below.

Lemma m_two_conj : forall t t' t'',
  eval t t' /\ eval t' t'' ->
  eval_many t t''.
Proof.
  intros t t' t'' H.
   destruct H as [ He1 He2 ].
   apply m_two with (t2 := t').
    apply He1.
    apply He2.
Qed.

Example Patterns may be nested to break apart nested structures. Note that infix conjunction is right-associative, which is significant when trying to write nested patterns. We will later see how to use destruct on many different sorts of hypotheses.

Lemma m_three_conj : forall t t' t'' t''',
  eval t t' /\ eval t' t'' /\ eval t'' t''' ->
  eval_many t t'''.
Proof.
  intros t t' t'' t''' H.
   destruct H as [ He1 [ He2 He3 ] ].
   apply m_step with (t' := t').
    apply He1.
    apply m_two with (t2 := t'').
      apply He2.
      apply He3.
Qed.

Example If your goal is a conjunction, use split to break it apart into two separate subgoals.

Lemma m_three : forall t t' t'' t''',
  eval t t' ->
  eval t' t'' ->
  eval t'' t''' ->
  eval_many t t'''.
Proof.
  intros t t' t'' t''' He1 He2 He3.
   apply m_three_conj with (t' := t') (t'' := t'').
    split.
      apply He1.
      split.
        apply He2.
        apply He3.
Qed.

Exercise Hint: You might find lemma m_three useful here.

Lemma m_if_iszero_conj : forall v t2 t2' t3 t3',
  nvalue v /\ eval t2 t2' /\ eval t3 t3' ->
  eval_many (tm_if (tm_iszero tm_zero) t2 t3) t2' /\
  eval_many (tm_if (tm_iszero (tm_succ v)) t2 t3) t3'.
Proof.
  (* to finish *)
Admitted.

Example If the goal is a disjunction, we can use the left or right tactics to solve it by proving the left or right side of the conclusion.

Lemma true_and_succ_zero_values :
  value tm_true /\ value (tm_succ tm_zero).
Proof.
  unfold value. split.
    left. apply b_true.
    right. apply n_succ. apply n_zero.
Qed.

Example If we have a disjunction in the context, we can use destruct to reason by cases on the hypothesis. Note the syntax of the associated pattern.

Lemma e_if_true_or_false : forall t1 t2,
  eval t1 tm_true \/ eval t1 tm_false ->
  eval_many (tm_if t1 t2 t2) t2.
Proof.
  intros t1 t2 H. destruct H as [ He1 | He2 ].
    apply m_two with (t2 := tm_if tm_true t2 t2).
      apply e_if. apply He1.
      apply e_iftrue.
    apply m_two with (t2 := tm_if tm_false t2 t2).
      apply e_if. apply He2.
      apply e_iffalse.
Qed.

Lemma two_values : forall t u,
  value t /\ value u ->

    bvalue u \/
    (nvalue t /\ nvalue u).
  (** We know [value t] and [value u], which means either

      conclusion is proved.  Next, consider the case in which
      [nvalue t] holds.  Now consider the subcase where
      [bvalue u] holds. ... *)
Proof.
  (* to finish *)
Admitted.

Example destruct can be used on propositions with implications. This will have the effect of performing destruct on the conclusion of the implication, while leaving the hypotheses of the implication as additional subgoals.

Lemma destruct_example : forall bv t t' t'',
  bvalue bv ->
  (value bv -> eval t t' /\ eval t' t'') ->
  eval_many t t''.
Proof.
  intros bv t t' t'' Hbv H. destruct H as [ H1 H2 ].
    Show 2.
    unfold value. left. apply Hbv.
    apply m_two with (t2 := t').
      apply H1.
      apply H2.
Qed.

Tip After applying a tactic that introduces multiple subgoals, it is sometimes useful to see not only the subgoals themselves but also their hypotheses. Adding the command Show n. to your proof script to cause Coq to display the nth subgoal in full.

Reasoning by Cases and Induction

    - [destruct] (for inductively defined propositions)
    - [induction]

Example Use destruct to reason by cases on an inductively defined datatype or proposition.

Note: It is possible to supply destruct with a pattern in these instances also. However, the patterns become increasingly complex for bigger inductive definitions; so it is often more practical to omit the pattern (thereby letting Coq choose the names of the terms and hypotheses in each case), in spite of the fact that this adds an element of fragility to the proof script (since the proof script will mention names that were system-generated).

Lemma e_iszero_nvalue : forall v,
  nvalue v ->
  eval (tm_iszero v) tm_true \/
  eval (tm_iszero v) tm_false.
Proof.
  intros v Hn.
  destruct Hn.
  (* Case [n_zero].
     Note how [v] becomes [tm_zero] in the goal. *)
    left.
    apply e_iszerozero.
  (* Case [n_succ].
     Note how [v] becomes [tm_succ v] in the goal. *)
    right.
    apply e_iszerosucc. apply Hn.
Qed.

Example You can use induction to reason by induction on an inductively defined datatype or proposition. This is the same as destruct, except that it also introduces an induction hypothesis in the inductive cases.

Lemma m_iszero : forall t u,
  eval_many t u ->
  eval_many (tm_iszero t) (tm_iszero u).
Proof.
  intros t u Hm. induction Hm.
    apply m_refl.
    apply m_step with (t' := tm_iszero t').
      apply e_iszero. apply H.
      apply IHHm.
Qed.

Lab 3

Work on the following exercise.

Exercise

Lemma m_trans : forall t t' u,
  eval_many t t' ->
  eval_many t' u ->
  eval_many t u.
  (** We proceed by induction on the derivation of
      [eval_many t t'].
      Case [m_refl]: Since [t] and [t'] must be the same, our
        conclusion holds by assumption.
      Case [m_step]: Now let's rename the [t'] from the lemma
        statement to [u0] (as Coq likely will) and observe that
        there must be some [t'] (from above the line of the
        [m_step] rule) such that [eval t t'] and
        [eval_many t' u0].  Our conclusion follows from from
        an application of [m_step] with our new [t'] and our
        induction hypothesis, which allows us to piece together
        [eval_many t' u0] and [eval_many u0 u] to get
        [eval_many t' u]. *)
Proof.
  (* to finish *)
Admitted.

Example It is possible to use destruct not just on hypotheses but on any lemma we have proved. If we have a lemma

      lemma1 : P /\ Q

then we can use the tactic

      destruct lemma1 as [ H1 H2 ].

to continue our proof with H1 : P and H2 : Q in our context. This works even if the lemma has antecedents (they become new subgoals); however it fail if the lemma has a universal quantifier, such as this:

      lemma2 : forall x, P(x) /\ Q(x)

However, remember that we can build a proof of P(e) /\ Q(e) (which can be destructed) using the Coq expression lemma2 e. So we need to phrase our tactic as

      destruct (lemma2 e) as [ H1 H2 ].

An example of this technique is below.

Lemma m_iszero_nvalue : forall t v,
  nvalue v ->
  eval_many t v ->
  eval_many (tm_iszero t) tm_true \/
  eval_many (tm_iszero t) tm_false.
Proof.
  intros t v Hnv Hm.
   destruct (e_iszero_nvalue v) as [ H1 | H2 ].
    apply Hnv.
    left. apply m_trans with (t' := tm_iszero v).
      apply m_iszero. apply Hm.
      apply m_one. apply H1.
    right. apply m_trans with (t' := tm_iszero v).
      apply m_iszero. apply Hm.
      apply m_one. apply H2.
Qed.

Exercise Prove the following lemma.

Hint: You may be interested in some previously proved lemmas, such as m_one and m_trans.

Note: Even though this lemma is in a comment, its solution is also at the bottom. (Coq will give an error if we leave it uncommented since it mentions the eval_rtc relation, which was the solution to another exercise.)

Lemma full_eval_to_value : forall t v,
  full_eval t v ->
  value v.

Working with Existential Quantification

    - [exists]
    - [destruct] (for existential propositions)

Example Use exists to give the witness for an existential quantifier in your goal.

Lemma if_bvalue : forall t1 t2 t3,
  bvalue t1 ->
  exists u, eval (tm_if t1 t2 t3) u.
Proof.
  intros t1 t2 t3 Hb. destruct Hb.
    exists t2. apply e_iftrue.
    exists t3. apply e_iffalse.
Qed.

Example You may use destruct to break open an existential hypothesis.

Lemma m_two_exists : forall t u,
  (exists w, eval t w /\ eval w u) ->
  eval_many t u.
Proof.
  intros t u H.
   destruct H as [ w He ].
   destruct He as [ He1 He2 ].
   apply m_two with (t2 := w).
    apply He1.
    apply He2.
Qed.

Example Tip: We can combine patterns that destruct existentials with patterns that destruct other logical connectives.

Here is the same proof with just one use of destruct.

Lemma m_two_exists' : forall t u,
  (exists w, eval t w /\ eval w u) ->
  eval_many t u.
Proof.
  intros t u H. destruct H as [ w [ He1 He2 ] ].
   apply m_two with (t2 := w).
    apply He1.
    apply He2.
Qed.

Example Tip: We give patterns to the intros tactic to destruct hypotheses as we introduce them.

Here is the same proof again without any uses of destruct.

Lemma m_two_exists'' : forall t u,
  (exists w, eval t w /\ eval w u) ->
  eval_many t u.
Proof.
  intros t u [ w [ He1 He2 ] ].
   apply m_two with (t2 := w).
    apply He1.
    apply He2.
Qed.

Work on the following exercise.

Exercise Tip: You should find the lemma m_iszero useful. Use Check m_iszero. if you've forgotten its statement.

Lemma exists_iszero_nvalue : forall t,
  (exists nv, nvalue nv /\ eval_many t nv) ->
  exists bv, eval_many (tm_iszero t) bv.
Proof.
  (** There exists some [nv] such that [nvalue nv].  Consider
      the case where [nv] is [tm_zero].  Then choose [bv] to
      be [tm_true].  By [m_trans], we can show that
      [eval_many (tm_iszero t) tm_true] by showing
      [eval_many (tm_iszero t) (tm_iszero tm_zero)] and
      [eval_many (tm_iszero tm_zero) tm_true].  The former
      follows from [m_iszero] and our assumption.  The latter
      follows from [m_one] and the rule [e_iszerozero].  On the
      other hand, in the case where [nv] is built from
      [tm_succ], we choose [bv] to be [tm_false] and the proof
      follows similarly. *)

Working with Negation

    - [unfold not]
    - [destruct] (for negation)

Example The standard library defines an uninhabited type False and defines not P to stand for P -> False. Furthermore, Coq defines the notation ~ P to stand for not P. (Such notations only affect parsing and printing -- Coq views not P and ~ P as being syntactically equal.)

The most basic way to work with negated statements is to unfold not and treat False just as any other proposition.

(Note how multiple definitions can be unfolded with one use of unfold. Also, as noted earlier, many uses of unfold are not strictly necessary. You can try deleting the uses from the proof below to check that the proof script still works.)

Lemma normal_form_succ : forall t,
  normal_form (tm_succ t) ->
  normal_form t.
Proof.
  intros t Hnf.
   unfold normal_form. unfold not.

Example If you happen to have False as a hypothesis, you may use destruct on that hypothesis to solve your goal.

Lemma False_hypothesis : forall v,

Proof.
  intros v H. destruct H.
Qed.

Example Recalling that destruct can be used on propositions with antecedents and that negation is simply an abbreviation for an implication, using destruct on a negated hypothesis has the derived behavior of replacing our goal with the proposition that was negated in our context.

Tip: We actually don't even need to do the unfolding below because destruct would have done it for us.

Lemma destruct_negation_example : forall t v,
  value v ->
  eval t tm_zero ->
  (value v -> normal_form t) ->
  eval tm_true tm_false.
Proof.
  intros t v Hnv He Hnf.
   unfold normal_form, not in Hnf.
  (* As usual, unfolding was optional here. *)
   destruct Hnf.
    apply Hnv.

Proof.
  (* to finish *)

Working with Equality

    - [reflexivity]
    - [subst]
    - [rewrite]
    - [inversion] (on equalities)

Example If you have an equality in your context, there are several ways to substitute one side of the equality for the other in your goal or in other hypotheses.

If one side of the equality is a variable x, then the tactic subst x will replace all occurrences of x in the context and goal with the other side of the quality and will remove x from your context.

Use reflexivity to solve a goal of the form e = e.

Lemma equality_example_1 : forall t1 t2 t3 u1 u2,
  t1 = tm_iszero u1 ->
  t2 = tm_succ u2 ->
  t3 = tm_succ t2 ->
  tm_if t1 t2 t3 =
    tm_if (tm_iszero u1) (tm_succ u2) (tm_succ (tm_succ u2)).
Proof.
  intros t1 t2 t3 u1 u2 Heq1 Heq2 Heq3.
   subst t1. subst t2. subst t3. reflexivity.
Qed.

Example If neither side of the equality in your context is a variable (or if you don't want to discard the hypothesis), you can use the rewrite tactic to perform a substitution. The arrow after rewrite indicates the direction of the substitution. As demonstrated, you may perform rewriting in the goal or in a hypothesis.

Lemma equality_example_2a : forall t u v,
  tm_succ t = tm_succ u ->
  eval (tm_succ u) v ->
  eval (tm_succ t) v.
Proof.
  intros t u v Heq He. rewrite -> Heq. apply He.
Qed.
Lemma equality_example_2b : forall t u v,
  tm_succ t = tm_succ u ->
  eval (tm_succ u) v ->
  eval (tm_succ t) v.
Proof.
  intros t u v Heq He. rewrite <- Heq in He. apply He.
Qed.

Example We also note that, analogously with destruct, we may use rewrite even with a hypothesis (or lemma) that has antecedents.

Lemma equality_example_2c : forall t u v,
  nvalue v ->
  (nvalue v -> tm_succ t = tm_succ u) ->
  eval (tm_succ u) v ->
  eval (tm_succ t) v.
Proof.
  intros t u v Hnv Heq He. rewrite <- Heq in He.
    apply He.
    apply Hnv.
Qed.

Example If you need to derive additional equalities implied by an equality in your context (e.g., by the principle of constructor injectivity), you may use inversion. inversion is a powerful tactic that uses unification to introduce more equalities into your context. (You will observe that it also performs some substitutions in your goal.)

Lemma equality_example_3 : forall t u,
  tm_succ t = tm_succ u ->
  t = u.
Proof.
  intros t u Heq. inversion Heq. reflexivity.

Example inversion will also solve a goal when unification fails on a hypothesis. (Internally, Coq can construct a proof of False from contradictory equalities.)

Work on equality_exercise above and succ_not_circular below.

Exercise Note: e1 <> e2 is a notation for ~ e1 = e2, i.e., the two are treated as syntactically equal.

Note: This is fairly trivial to prove if we have a size function on terms and some automation. With just the tools we have described so far, it requires just a little bit of work.

Hint: The proof requires induction on t. (This is the first example of induction on datatypes, but it is even more straightforward than induction on propositions.) In each case, unfold the negation, pull the equality into the context, and use inversion to eliminate contradictory equalities.

Lemma succ_not_circular : forall t,
  t <> tm_succ t.
Proof.
  (* to finish *)
Admitted.

Reasoning by Inversion

    - [inversion] (on propositions)

Example The inversion tactic also allows you to reason by inversion on an inductively defined proposition as in paper proofs: we try to match some proposition with the conclusion of each inference rule and only consider the cases (possibly none) where there is a successful unification. In those cases, we may use the premises of the inference rule in our reasoning.

Since inversion may generate many equalities between variables, it is useful to know that using subst without an argument will perform all possible substitutions for variables. It is a little difficult to predict which variables will be eliminated and which will be kept by this tactic, but this is a typical sort of trade-off when using powerful tactics.

(The use of subst in this proof is superfluous, but you can observe that it simplifies the context.)

Lemma value_succ_nvalue : forall t,
  value (tm_succ t) ->
  nvalue t.
Proof.
  intros t H. unfold value in H. destruct H as [ H1 | H2 ].
  (* No unification is possible -- [inversion] solves goal. *)

  (* Just the [n_succ] cases unifies with H2. *)

Exercise

Lemma inversion_exercise : forall t,
  normal_form t ->

  nvalue t.
Proof.
  (** By inversion on the [eval_many] relation, then conclusion
      [eval_many (tm_pred t) tm_zero] must have been derived by
      the rule [m_step], which means there is some [t'] for
      which [eval (tm_pred t) t'] and [eval_many t' tm_zero].
      Now, by inversion on the [eval] relation, there are only
      three ways that [eval (tm_pred t) t'] could have been
      derived:
      * By [e_predzero], with [t] and [t'] both being equal to
        [tm_zero].  Our conclusion follows from [n_zero].
      * By [e_predsucc], with [t] being [tm_succ t0] where we
        have [nvalue t0].  In this case, our conclusion is
        provable with [n_succ].
      * By [e_pred], with [t] taking an evaluation step.  This
        contradicts our assumption that [t] is a normal form

Additional Important Tactics

    - [generalize dependent]
    - [assert]
    - [;]
    - [clear]

Example Sometimes we need to have a tactic that moves hypotheses from our context back into our goal. Often this is because we want to perform induction in the middle of a proof and will not get a sufficiently general induction hypothesis without a goal of the correct form. (To be specific, if we need to have an induction hypothesis with a forall quantifier in front, then we must make sure our goal has a forall quantifier in front at the time we invoke the induction tactic.) Observe how generalize dependent achieves this in the proof below, moving the variable t and all dependent hypotheses back into the goal. You may want to remove the use of generalize dependent to convince yourself that it is performing an essential role here.

Lemma value_is_normal_form : forall v,
  value v ->
  normal_form v.
Proof.
  intros v [ Hb | Hn ] [ t He ].
    destruct Hb.
      inversion He.
      inversion He.
    generalize dependent t. induction Hn.
      intros t He. inversion He.
      intros u He. inversion He. subst. destruct (IHHn t').
       apply H0.
Qed.

Exercise Coq has many operations (called "tacticals") to combine smaller tactics into larger ones.

If t1 and t2 are tactics, then t1; t2 is a tactic that executes t1, and then executes t2 on subgoals left by or newly generated by t1. This can help to eliminate repetitious use of tactics. Two idiomatic uses are performing subst after inversion and performing intros after induction. More opportunities to use this tactical can usually be discovered after writing a proof. (It is worth noting that some uses of this tactical can make proofs less readable or more difficult to maintain. Alternatively, some uses can make proofs more readable or easier to maintain. It is always good to think about your priorities when writing a proof script.)

Revise the proof for value_is_normal_form to include uses of the ; tactical.

Example Sometimes it is helpful to be able to use forward reasoning in a proof. One form of forward reasoning can be done with the tactic assert. assert adds a new hypothesis to the context but asks us to first justify it.

Lemma nvalue_is_normal_form : forall v,
  nvalue v ->
  normal_form v.
Proof.
  intros v Hnv.
   assert (value v) as Hv. right. apply Hnv.
   apply value_is_normal_form. apply Hv.
Qed.

Example assert can also be supplied with a tactic that proves the assertion. We rewrite the above proof using this form.

Lemma nvalue_is_normal_form' : forall v,
  nvalue v ->
  normal_form v.
Proof.
  intros v Hnv.
   assert (value v) as Hv by (right; apply Hnv).
   apply value_is_normal_form. apply Hv.
Qed.

Example The proof below introduces two new, simple tactics. First, the tactic replace e1 with e2 performs a substitution in the goal and then requires that you prove e2 = e1 as a new subgoal. This often allows us to avoid more cumbersome forms of forward reasoning. Second, the clear tactic discards a hypothesis from the context. Of course, this tactic is never needed, but it can be nice to use when there are complicated, irrelevant hypotheses in the context.

Lemma single_step_to_multi_step_determinacy :
  (forall t u1 u2, eval t u1 -> eval t u2 -> u1 = u2) ->
  forall t v1 v2,
    eval_many t v1 -> normal_form v1 ->
    eval_many t v2 -> normal_form v2 ->
    v1 = v2.
Proof.
  intros H t v1 v2 Hm1 Hnf1 Hm2 Hnf2. induction Hm1.
    clear H. destruct Hm2.
      reflexivity.
      destruct Hnf1. exists t'. apply H.
    destruct Hm2.
      destruct Hnf2. exists t'. apply H0.
      apply IHHm1; clear IHHm1.
        apply Hnf1.
        replace t' with t'0.
          apply Hm2.
          apply H with (t := t).
            apply H1.
            apply H0.
Qed.

Exercise This proof is lengthy and thus somewhat challenging. All of the techniques from this section will be useful; some will be essential. In particular, you will need to use generalize dependent at the beginning of the proof. You will find assert helpful in the cases where your assumptions are contradictory but none of them are in a negative form. In that situation, you can assert a negative statement that follows from your hypotheses (recall that normal_form is a negative statement). Finally, you will want to use the above lemma nvalue_is_normal_form. Good luck!

Basic Automation

  - [eapply], [esplit]
  - [auto], [eauto]

Example You can use eapply e instead of apply e with (x := e1). This will generate subgoals containing unification variables that will get unified during subsequent uses of apply.

Example The auto tactic solves goals that are solvable by any combination of

  • intros
  • apply (used on some local hypothesis)
  • split, left, right
  • reflexivity

If auto cannot solve the goal, it will leave the proof state completely unchanged (without generating any errors).

The lemma below is a proposition that has been contrived for the sake of demonstrating the scope of the auto tactic and does not say anything of practical interest. So instead of thinking about what it means, you should think about the operations that auto had to perform to solve the goal.

Note: It is important to remember that auto does not destruct hypotheses! There are more advanced forms of automation available that do destruct hypotheses in some specific ways.

Lemma auto_example : forall t t' t'',
  eval t t' ->

Example The eauto tactic solves goals that are solvable by some combination of

  • intros
  • eapply (used on some local hypothesis)
  • split, left, right
  • esplit
  • reflexivity

lemma has two significantly differences from the previous one, both of which render auto useless.

Lemma eauto_example : forall t t' t'',
  eval t t' ->

Example You can enhance auto (or eauto) by appending using x_1, ..., x_n, where each x_i is the name of some constructor or lemma. Then auto will attempt to apply those constructors or lemmas in addition to the assumptions in the local context.

Exercise Go back and rewrite your proofs for m_trans and two_values. Pulling together several tricks you've learned, you should be able to prove two_values in one (short) line. Since this is a notebook, the easiest way for you to do that may be to copy the cells here.

Note Sometimes there are lemmas or constructors that are so frequently needed by auto that we don't want to have to add them to our using clause each time. Coq allows us to request that certain propositions that always be considered by auto and eauto.

The following command adds four lemmas to the default search procedure of auto.

Hint Resolve m_if m_succ m_pred m_iszero.

Constructors of inductively defined propositions are some of the most frequently needed by auto. Instead of writing

    Hint Resolve b_true b_false.

we may simply write

    Hint Constructors bvalue.

Let's add all our constructors to auto.

Hint Constructors bvalue nvalue eval eval_many.

By default auto will never try to unfold definitions to see if a lemma or constructor can be applied. With the Hint Unfold command, we can instruct auto to try unfold definitions in the goal as it is working.

Hint Unfold value normal_form.

There are a few more variants on the Hint command that can be used to further customize auto. You can learn about them in the Coq reference manual.

Functions and Conversion

    - [Fixpoint/struct]
    - [match ... end]
    - [if ... then ... else ...]
    - [simpl]
    - [remember]

In this section we start to use Coq as a programming language and learn how to reason about programs defined within Coq.

Example Coq defines many datatypes in its standard libraries. Have a quick look now through the library Datatypes to see some of the basic ones, in particular bool and nat. (Note that constructors of the datatype nat are the letter O and the letter S. However, Coq will parse and print nats using a standard decimal representation.)

We define two more datatypes here that will be useful later.

Inductive bool_option : Set :=
| some_bool : bool -> bool_option
| no_bool : bool_option.
Inductive nat_option : Set :=
| some_nat : nat -> nat_option
| no_nat : nat_option.

Example We can define simple (non-recursive) functions from one datatype to another using the Definition keyword. The match construct allows us to do case analysis on a datatype. The match expression has a first-match semantics and allows nested patterns; however, Coq's type checker demands that pattern-matching be exhaustive.

We define functions below for converting between Coq bools and boolean values in our object language.

Definition tm_to_bool (t : tm) : bool_option :=
  match t with
  | tm_true => some_bool true
  | tm_false => some_bool false
  | _ => no_bool
  end.
Definition bool_to_tm (b : bool) : tm :=
  match b with
  | true => tm_true
  | false => tm_false
  end.

Example Coq also has an if/then/else expression. It can be used, not just with the type bool but, in fact, with any datatype having exactly two constructors (the first constructor corresponding to the then branch and the second to the else branch). Thus, we can define a function is_bool as below.

Definition is_bool (t : tm) : bool :=
  if tm_to_bool t then true else false.

Example To define a recursive function, use Fixpoint instead of Definition.

The type system will only allow us to write functions that terminate. The annotation {struct t} here informs the type-checker that termination is guaranteed because the function is being defined by structural recursion on t.

Fixpoint tm_to_nat (t : tm) {struct t} : nat_option :=
  match t with
  | tm_zero => some_nat O
  | tm_succ t1 =>
      match tm_to_nat t1 with
      | some_nat n => some_nat (S n)
      | no_nat => no_nat
      end
  | _ => no_nat
  end.

Fixpoint nat_to_tm (n : nat) {struct n} : tm :=
  match n with
  | O => tm_zero
  | S m => tm_succ (nat_to_tm m)
  end.

Exercise Write a function interp : tm -> tm that returns the normal form of its argument according to the small-step semantics given by eval.

Hint: You will want to use tm_to_nat (or another auxiliary function) to prevent stuck terms from stepping in the cases e_predsucc and e_iszerosucc.

Example The tactic simpl (recursively) reduces the application of a function defined by pattern-matching to an argument with a constructor at its head. You can supply simpl with a particular expression if you want to prevent it from simplifying elsewhere.

Lemma bool_tm_bool : forall b,
  tm_to_bool (bool_to_tm b) = some_bool b.
Proof.
  intros b. destruct b.
    simpl (bool_to_tm true). simpl. reflexivity.
    (* It turns out that [simpl] is unnecessary above, since
       [reflexivity] can automatically check that two terms are
       convertible. *)
    reflexivity.
Qed.

Example We can also apply the tactic simpl in our hypotheses.

Lemma tm_bool_tm :forall t b,
  tm_to_bool t = some_bool b ->
  bool_to_tm b = t.
Proof.
  intros t b Heq. destruct t.
    simpl in Heq. inversion Heq.
     simpl. reflexivity.
    (* As with [reflexivity], [inversion] can automatically
       perform reduction on terms as necessary, so the above use
       of [simpl] was optional. *)

Example Not all uses of simpl are optional. Sometimes they are necessary so that we can use the rewrite tactic. Observe, also, how using rewrite can automatically trigger a reduction if it creates a redex.

Lemma nat_tm_nat : forall n,
  tm_to_nat (nat_to_tm n) = some_nat n.
Proof.
  intros n. induction n.

Example Here's an example where it is necessary to use simpl on a hypothesis. To trigger a reduction of a match expression in a hypothesis, we use the destruct tactic on the expression being matched.

Example Using the tactic destruct (or induction) on a complex expression (i.e., one that is not simply a variable) may not leave you with enough information for you to finish the proof. The tactic remember can help in these cases. Its usage is demonstrated below. If you are curious, try to finish the proof without remember to see what goes wrong.
