(** * Logic: Logic in Coq *)
Set Warnings "-notation-overridden,-parsing".
Require Export Tactics.
(** In previous chapters, we have seen many examples of factual
claims (_propositions_) and ways of presenting evidence of their
truth (_proofs_). In particular, we have worked extensively with
_equality propositions_ of the form [e1 = e2], with
implications ([P -> Q]), and with quantified propositions ([forall
x, P]). In this chapter, we will see how Coq can be used to carry
out other familiar forms of logical reasoning.
Before diving into details, let's talk a bit about the status of
mathematical statements in Coq. Recall that Coq is a _typed_
language, which means that every sensible expression in its world
has an associated type. Logical claims are no exception: any
statement we might try to prove in Coq has a type, namely [Prop],
the type of _propositions_. We can see this with the [Check]
command: *)
Check 3 = 3.
(* ===> Prop *)
Check forall n m : nat, n + m = m + n.
(* ===> Prop *)
(** Note that _all_ syntactically well-formed propositions have type
[Prop] in Coq, regardless of whether they are true or not.
Simply _being_ a proposition is one thing; being _provable_ is
something else! *)
Check forall n : nat, n = 2.
(* ===> Prop *)
Check 3 = 4.
(* ===> Prop *)
(** Indeed, propositions don't just have types: they are _first-class
objects_ that can be manipulated in the same ways as the other
entities in Coq's world. So far, we've seen one primary place
that propositions can appear: in [Theorem] (and [Lemma] and
[Example]) declarations. *)
Theorem plus_2_2_is_4 :
2 + 2 = 4.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
(** But propositions can be used in many other ways. For example, we
can give a name to a proposition using a [Definition], just as we
have given names to expressions of other sorts. *)
Definition plus_fact : Prop := 2 + 2 = 4.
Check plus_fact.
(* ===> plus_fact : Prop *)
(** We can later use this name in any situation where a proposition is
expected -- for example, as the claim in a [Theorem] declaration. *)
Theorem plus_fact_is_true :
plus_fact.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
(** We can also write _parameterized_ propositions -- that is,
functions that take arguments of some type and return a
proposition. *)
(** For instance, the following function takes a number
and returns a proposition asserting that this number is equal to
three: *)
Definition is_three (n : nat) : Prop :=
n = 3.
Check is_three.
(* ===> nat -> Prop *)
(** In Coq, functions that return propositions are said to define
_properties_ of their arguments.
For instance, here's a (polymorphic) property defining the
familiar notion of an _injective function_. *)
Definition injective {A B} (f : A -> B) :=
forall x y : A, f x = f y -> x = y.
Lemma succ_inj : injective S.
Proof.
intros n m H. inversion H. reflexivity.
Qed.
(** The equality operator [=] is also a function that returns a
[Prop].
The expression [n = m] is syntactic sugar for [eq n m], defined
using Coq's [Notation] mechanism. Because [eq] can be used with
elements of any type, it is also polymorphic: *)
Check @eq.
(* ===> forall A : Type, A -> A -> Prop *)
(** (Notice that we wrote [@eq] instead of [eq]: The type
argument [A] to [eq] is declared as implicit, so we need to turn
off implicit arguments to see the full type of [eq].) *)
(* ################################################################# *)
(** * Logical Connectives *)
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Conjunction *)
(** The _conjunction_ (or _logical and_) of propositions [A] and [B]
is written [A /\ B], representing the claim that both [A] and [B]
are true. *)
Example and_example : 3 + 4 = 7 /\ 2 * 2 = 4.
(** To prove a conjunction, use the [split] tactic. It will generate
two subgoals, one for each part of the statement: *)
Proof.
(* WORKED IN CLASS *)
split.
- (* 3 + 4 = 7 *) reflexivity.
- (* 2 + 2 = 4 *) reflexivity.
Qed.
(** For any propositions [A] and [B], if we assume that [A] is true
and we assume that [B] is true, we can conclude that [A /\ B] is
also true. *)
Lemma and_intro : forall A B : Prop, A -> B -> A /\ B.
Proof.
intros A B HA HB. split.
- apply HA.
- apply HB.
Qed.
(** Since applying a theorem with hypotheses to some goal has the
effect of generating as many subgoals as there are hypotheses for
that theorem, we can apply [and_intro] to achieve the same effect
as [split]. *)
Example and_example' : 3 + 4 = 7 /\ 2 * 2 = 4.
Proof.
apply and_intro.
- (* 3 + 4 = 7 *) reflexivity.
- (* 2 + 2 = 4 *) reflexivity.
Qed.
(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (and_exercise) *)
Example and_exercise :
forall n m : nat, n + m = 0 -> n = 0 /\ m = 0.
Proof.
(* FILL IN HERE *) Admitted.
(** [] *)
(** So much for proving conjunctive statements. To go in the other
direction -- i.e., to _use_ a conjunctive hypothesis to help prove
something else -- we employ the [destruct] tactic.
If the proof context contains a hypothesis [H] of the form
[A /\ B], writing [destruct H as [HA HB]] will remove [H] from the
context and add two new hypotheses: [HA], stating that [A] is
true, and [HB], stating that [B] is true. *)
Lemma and_example2 :
forall n m : nat, n = 0 /\ m = 0 -> n + m = 0.
Proof.
(* WORKED IN CLASS *)
intros n m H.
destruct H as [Hn Hm].
rewrite Hn. rewrite Hm.
reflexivity.
Qed.
(** As usual, we can also destruct [H] right when we introduce it,
instead of introducing and then destructing it: *)
Lemma and_example2' :
forall n m : nat, n = 0 /\ m = 0 -> n + m = 0.
Proof.
intros n m [Hn Hm].
rewrite Hn. rewrite Hm.
reflexivity.
Qed.
(** You may wonder why we bothered packing the two hypotheses [n = 0]
and [m = 0] into a single conjunction, since we could have also
stated the theorem with two separate premises: *)
Lemma and_example2'' :
forall n m : nat, n = 0 -> m = 0 -> n + m = 0.
Proof.
intros n m Hn Hm.
rewrite Hn. rewrite Hm.
reflexivity.
Qed.
(** For this theorem, both formulations are fine. But it's important
to understand how to work with conjunctive hypotheses because
conjunctions often arise from intermediate steps in proofs,
especially in bigger developments. Here's a simple example: *)
Lemma and_example3 :
forall n m : nat, n + m = 0 -> n * m = 0.
Proof.
intros n m H.
assert (H' : n = 0 /\ m = 0).
{ apply and_exercise. apply H. }
destruct H' as [Hn Hm].
rewrite Hn. reflexivity.
Qed.
(** Another common situation with conjunctions is that we know
[A /\ B] but in some context we need just [A] (or just [B]).
The following lemmas are useful in such cases: *)
Lemma proj1 : forall P Q : Prop,
P /\ Q -> P.
Proof.
intros P Q [HP HQ].
apply HP. Qed.
(** **** Exercise: 1 star, optional (proj2) *)
Lemma proj2 : forall P Q : Prop,
P /\ Q -> Q.

(** ** Falsehood and Negation *)
(** So far, we have mostly been concerned with proving that certain
things are _true_ -- addition is commutative, appending lists is
associative, etc. Of course, we may also be interested in
_negative_ results, showing that certain propositions are _not_
true. In Coq, such negative statements are expressed with the
negation operator [~].
To see how negation works, recall the discussion of the _principle
of explosion_ from the [Tactics] chapter; it asserts that, if we
assume a contradiction, then any other proposition can be derived.
Following this intuition, we could define [~ P] ("not [P]") as
[forall Q, P -> Q]. Coq actually makes a slightly different
choice, defining [~ P] as [P -> False], where [False] is a
_particular_ contradictory proposition defined in the standard
library. *)

be. *)
(** To prove a statement of the form [exists x, P], we must show that
[P] holds for some specific choice of value for [x], known as the
_witness_ of the existential. This is done in two steps: First,
we explicitly tell Coq which witness [t] we have in mind by
invoking the tactic [exists t]. Then we prove that [P] holds after
all occurrences of [x] are replaced by [t]. *)

(** * Programming with Propositions *)
(** The logical connectives that we have seen provide a rich
vocabulary for defining complex propositions from simpler ones.

element [x] occurs in a list [l]. Notice that this property has a
simple recursive structure: *)
(** - If [l] is the empty list, then [x] cannot occur on it, so the
property "[x] appears in [l]" is simply false.
- Otherwise, [l] has the form [x' :: l']. In this case, [x]
occurs in [l] if either it is equal to [x'] or it occurs in
[l'].

function from taking an element and a list and returning a
proposition: *)
Fixpoint In {A : Type} (x : A) (l : list A) : Prop :=
match l with
| [] => False
| x' :: l' => x' = x \/ In x l'

(** * Applying Theorems to Arguments *)
(** One feature of Coq that distinguishes it from many other proof
assistants is that it treats _proofs_ as first-class objects.
There is a great deal to be said about this, but it is not
necessary to understand it in detail in order to use Coq. This
section gives just a taste, while a deeper exploration can be
found in the optional chapters [ProofObjects] and
[IndPrinciples]. *)
(** We have seen that we can use the [Check] command to ask Coq to
print the type of an expression. We can also use [Check] to ask
what theorem a particular identifier refers to. *)
Check plus_comm.
(* ===> forall n m : nat, n + m = m + n *)
(** Coq prints the _statement_ of the [plus_comm] theorem in the same
way that it prints the _type_ of any term that we ask it to
[Check]. Why?
The reason is that the identifier [plus_comm] actually refers to a
_proof object_ -- a data structure that represents a logical
derivation establishing of the truth of the statement [forall n m
: nat, n + m = m + n]. The type of this object _is_ the statement
of the theorem that it is a proof of. *)
(** Intuitively, this makes sense because the statement of a theorem
tells us what we can use that theorem for, just as the type of a
computational object tells us what we can do with that object --
e.g., if we have a term of type [nat -> nat -> nat], we can give
it two [nat]s as arguments and get a [nat] back. Similarly, if we
have an object of type [n = m -> n + n = m + m] and we provide it
an "argument" of type [n = m], we can derive [n + n = m + m]. *)
(** Operationally, this analogy goes even further: by applying a
theorem, as if it were a function, to hypotheses with matching
types, we can specialize its result without having to resort to
intermediate assertions. For example, suppose we wanted to prove
the following result: *)
Lemma plus_comm3 :
forall n m p, n + (m + p) = (p + m) + n.
(** It appears at first sight that we ought to be able to prove this
by rewriting with [plus_comm] twice to make the two sides match.
The problem, however, is that the second [rewrite] will undo the
effect of the first. *)
Proof.
intros n m p.
rewrite plus_comm.

(* We are back where we started... *)

(** One simple way of fixing this problem, using only tools that we

want. *)

forall n m p, n + (m + p) = (p + m) + n.

(** You can "use theorems as functions" in this way with almost all

theorem application uses the same inference mechanisms as function
application; thus, it is possible, for example, to supply
wildcards as arguments to be inferred, or to declare some
hypotheses to a theorem as implicit by default. These features
are illustrated in the proof below. *)

(** * Coq vs. Set Theory *)
(** Coq's logical core, the _Calculus of Inductive Constructions_,
differs in some important ways from other formal systems that are
used by mathematicians for writing down precise and rigorous
proofs. For example, in the most popular foundation for
mainstream paper-and-pencil mathematics, Zermelo-Fraenkel Set
Theory (ZFC), a mathematical object can potentially be a member of
many different sets; a term in Coq's logic, on the other hand, is
a member of at most one type. This difference often leads to
slightly different ways of capturing informal mathematical
concepts, but these are, by and large, quite natural and easy to
work with. For example, instead of saying that a natural number
[n] belongs to the set of even numbers, we would say in Coq that
[ev n] holds, where [ev : nat -> Prop] is a property describing
even numbers.
However, there are some cases where translating standard
mathematical reasoning into Coq can be either cumbersome or
sometimes even impossible, unless we enrich the core logic with
additional axioms. We conclude this chapter with a brief
discussion of some of the most significant differences between the
two worlds. *)
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Functional Extensionality *)
(** The equality assertions that we have seen so far mostly have
concerned elements of inductive types ([nat], [bool], etc.). But
since Coq's equality operator is polymorphic, these are not the
only possibilities -- in particular, we can write propositions
claiming that two _functions_ are equal to each other: *)
Example function_equality_ex1 : plus 3 = plus (pred 4).
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
(** In common mathematical practice, two functions [f] and [g] are
considered equal if they produce the same outputs:
(forall x, f x = g x) -> f = g
This is known as the principle of _functional extensionality_.
Informally speaking, an "extensional property" is one that
pertains to an object's observable behavior. Thus, functional
extensionality simply means that a function's identity is
completely determined by what we can observe from it -- i.e., in
Coq terms, the results we obtain after applying it.
Functional extensionality is not part of Coq's basic axioms. This
means that some "reasonable" propositions are not provable. *)
Example function_equality_ex2 :
(fun x => plus x 1) = (fun x => plus 1 x).
Proof.
