Induction.v

(** * Induction: Proof by Induction *)

(** Before getting started, we need to import all of our
    definitions from the previous chapter: *)

From LF Require Export Basics.

(** For the [Require Export] to work, Coq needs to be able to
    find a compiled version of [Basics.v], called [Basics.vo], in a directory
    associated with the prefix [LF].  This file is analogous to the [.class]
    files compiled from [.java] source files and the [.o] files compiled from
    [.c] files.

    First create a file named [_CoqProject] containing the following line
    (if you obtained the whole volume "Logical Foundations" as a single
    archive, a [_CoqProject] should already exist and you can skip this step):

      [-Q . LF]

    This maps the current directory ("[.]", which contains [Basics.v],
    [Induction.v], etc.) to the prefix (or "logical directory") "[LF]".
    PG and CoqIDE read [_CoqProject] automatically, so they know to where to
    look for the file [Basics.vo] corresponding to the library [LF.Basics].

    Once [_CoqProject] is thus created, there are various ways to build
    [Basics.vo]:

     - In Proof General: The compilation can be made to happen automatically
       when you submit the [Require] line above to PG, by setting the emacs
       variable [coq-compile-before-require] to [t].

     - In CoqIDE: Open [Basics.v]; then, in the "Compile" menu, click
       on "Compile Buffer".

     - From the command line: Generate a [Makefile] using the [coq_makefile]
       utility, that comes installed with Coq (if you obtained the whole
       volume as a single archive, a [Makefile] should already exist
       and you can skip this step):

         [coq_makefile -f _CoqProject *.v -o Makefile]

       Note: You should rerun that command whenever you add or remove Coq files
       to the directory.

       Then you can compile [Basics.v] by running [make] with the corresponding
       [.vo] file as a target:

         [make Basics.vo]

       All files in the directory can be compiled by giving no arguments:

         [make]

       Under the hood, [make] uses the Coq compiler, [coqc].  You can also
       run [coqc] directly:

         [coqc -Q . LF Basics.v]

       But [make] also calculates dependencies between source files to compile
       them in the right order, so [make] should generally be prefered over
       explicit [coqc].

    If you have trouble (e.g., if you get complaints about missing
    identifiers later in the file), it may be because the "load path"
    for Coq is not set up correctly.  The [Print LoadPath.] command
    may be helpful in sorting out such issues.

    In particular, if you see a message like

        [Compiled library Foo makes inconsistent assumptions over
        library Bar]

    check whether you have multiple installations of Coq on your machine.
    It may be that commands (like [coqc]) that you execute in a terminal
    window are getting a different version of Coq than commands executed by
    Proof General or CoqIDE.

    - Another common reason is that the library [Bar] was modified and
      recompiled without also recompiling [Foo] which depends on it.  Recompile
      [Foo], or everything if too many files are affected.  (Using the third
      solution above: [make clean; make].)

    One more tip for CoqIDE users: If you see messages like [Error:
    Unable to locate library Basics], a likely reason is
    inconsistencies between compiling things _within CoqIDE_ vs _using
    [coqc] from the command line_.  This typically happens when there
    are two incompatible versions of [coqc] installed on your
    system (one associated with CoqIDE, and one associated with [coqc]
    from the terminal).  The workaround for this situation is
    compiling using CoqIDE only (i.e. choosing "make" from the menu),
    and avoiding using [coqc] directly at all. *)

(** * Proof by Induction *)

(** We proved in the last chapter that [0] is a neutral element
    for [+] on the left, using an easy argument based on
    simplification.  We also observed that proving the fact that it is
    also a neutral element on the _right_... *)

Theorem plus_n_O_firsttry : forall n:nat,
  n = n + 0.

(** ... can't be done in the same simple way.  Just applying
  [reflexivity] doesn't work, since the [n] in [n + 0] is an arbitrary
  unknown number, so the [match] in the definition of [+] can't be
  simplified.  *)

Proof.
  intros n.
  simpl. (* Does nothing! *)
Abort.

(** And reasoning by cases using [destruct n] doesn't get us much
    further: the branch of the case analysis where we assume [n = 0]
    goes through fine, but in the branch where [n = S n'] for some [n'] we
    get stuck in exactly the same way. *)

Theorem plus_n_O_secondtry : forall n:nat,
  n = n + 0.
Proof.
  intros n. destruct n as [| n'] eqn:E.
  - (* n = 0 *)
    reflexivity. (* so far so good... *)
  - (* n = S n' *)
    simpl.       (* ...but here we are stuck again *)
Abort.

(** We could use [destruct n'] to get one step further, but,
    since [n] can be arbitrarily large, if we just go on like this
    we'll never finish. *)

(** To prove interesting facts about numbers, lists, and other
    inductively defined sets, we usually need a more powerful
    reasoning principle: _induction_.

    Recall (from high school, a discrete math course, etc.) the
    _principle of induction over natural numbers_: If [P(n)] is some
    proposition involving a natural number [n] and we want to show
    that [P] holds for all numbers [n], we can reason like this:
         - show that [P(O)] holds;
         - show that, for any [n'], if [P(n')] holds, then so does
           [P(S n')];
         - conclude that [P(n)] holds for all [n].

    In Coq, the steps are the same: we begin with the goal of proving
    [P(n)] for all [n] and break it down (by applying the [induction]
    tactic) into two separate subgoals: one where we must show [P(O)]
    and another where we must show [P(n') -> P(S n')].  Here's how
    this works for the theorem at hand: *)

Theorem plus_n_O : forall n:nat, n = n + 0.
Proof.
  intros n. induction n as [| n' IHn'].
  - (* n = 0 *)    reflexivity.
  - (* n = S n' *) simpl. rewrite<- IHn'. reflexivity. Qed.

(** Like [destruct], the [induction] tactic takes an [as...]
    clause that specifies the names of the variables to be introduced
    in the subgoals.  Since there are two subgoals, the [as...] clause
    has two parts, separated by [|].  (Strictly speaking, we can omit
    the [as...] clause and Coq will choose names for us.  In practice,
    this is a bad idea, as Coq's automatic choices tend to be
    confusing.)

    In the first subgoal, [n] is replaced by [0].  No new variables
    are introduced (so the first part of the [as...] is empty), and
    the goal becomes [0 = 0 + 0], which follows by simplification.

    In the second subgoal, [n] is replaced by [S n'], and the
    assumption [n' + 0 = n'] is added to the context with the name
    [IHn'] (i.e., the Induction Hypothesis for [n']).  These two names
    are specified in the second part of the [as...] clause.  The goal
    in this case becomes [S n' = (S n') + 0], which simplifies to
    [S n' = S (n' + 0)], which in turn follows from [IHn']. *)

Theorem minus_diag : forall n,
  minus n n = 0.
Proof.
  (* WORKED IN CLASS *)
  intros n. induction n as [| n' IHn'].
  - (* n = 0 *)
    simpl. reflexivity.
  - (* n = S n' *)
    simpl. rewrite -> IHn'. reflexivity.  Qed.

(** (The use of the [intros] tactic in these proofs is actually
    redundant.  When applied to a goal that contains quantified
    variables, the [induction] tactic will automatically move them
    into the context as needed.) *)

(** * Proofs Within Proofs *)

(** In Coq, as in informal mathematics, large proofs are often
    broken into a sequence of theorems, with later proofs referring to
    earlier theorems.  But sometimes a proof will require some
    miscellaneous fact that is too trivial and of too little general
    interest to bother giving it its own top-level name.  In such
    cases, it is convenient to be able to simply state and prove the
    needed "sub-theorem" right at the point where it is used.  The
    [assert] tactic allows us to do this.  For example, our earlier
    proof of the [mult_0_plus] theorem referred to a previous theorem
    named [plus_O_n].  We could instead use [assert] to state and
    prove [plus_O_n] in-line: *)

Theorem mult_0_plus' : forall n m : nat,
  (0 + n) * m = n * m.
Proof.
  intros n m.
  assert (H: 0 + n = n). { reflexivity. }
  rewrite -> H.
  reflexivity.  Qed.

(** The [assert] tactic introduces two sub-goals.  The first is
    the assertion itself; by prefixing it with [H:] we name the
    assertion [H].  (We can also name the assertion with [as] just as
    we did above with [destruct] and [induction], i.e., [assert (0 + n
    = n) as H].)  Note that we surround the proof of this assertion
    with curly braces [{ ... }], both for readability and so that,
    when using Coq interactively, we can see more easily when we have
    finished this sub-proof.  The second goal is the same as the one
    at the point where we invoke [assert] except that, in the context,
    we now have the assumption [H] that [0 + n = n].  That is,
    [assert] generates one subgoal where we must prove the asserted
    fact and a second subgoal where we can use the asserted fact to
    make progress on whatever we were trying to prove in the first
    place. *)

(** Another example of [assert]... *)

(** For example, suppose we want to prove that [(n + m) + (p + q)
    = (m + n) + (p + q)]. The only difference between the two sides of
    the [=] is that the arguments [m] and [n] to the first inner [+]
    are swapped, so it seems we should be able to use the
    commutativity of addition ([plus_comm]) to rewrite one into the
    other.  However, the [rewrite] tactic is not very smart about
    _where_ it applies the rewrite.  There are three uses of [+] here,
    and it turns out that doing [rewrite -> plus_comm] will affect
    only the _outer_ one... *)

Theorem plus_rearrange_firsttry : forall n m p q : nat,
  (n + m) + (p + q) = (m + n) + (p + q).
Proof.
  intros n m p q.
  (* We just need to swap (n + m) for (m + n)... seems
     like plus_comm should do the trick! *)
  rewrite -> plus_comm.
  (* Doesn't work...Coq rewrites the wrong plus! *)
Abort.

(** To use [plus_comm] at the point where we need it, we can introduce
    a local lemma stating that [n + m = m + n] (for the particular [m]
    and [n] that we are talking about here), prove this lemma using
    [plus_comm], and then use it to do the desired rewrite. *)

Theorem plus_rearrange : forall n m p q : nat,
  (n + m) + (p + q) = (m + n) + (p + q).
Proof.
  intros n m p q.
  assert (H: n + m = m + n).
  { rewrite -> plus_comm. reflexivity. }
  rewrite -> H. reflexivity.  Qed.

(* ################################################################# *)
(** * Formal vs. Informal Proof *)

(** "_Informal proofs are algorithms; formal proofs are code_." *)

(** What constitutes a successful proof of a mathematical claim?
    The question has challenged philosophers for millennia, but a
    rough and ready definition could be this: A proof of a
    mathematical proposition [P] is a written (or spoken) text that
    instills in the reader or hearer the certainty that [P] is true --
    an unassailable argument for the truth of [P].  That is, a proof
    is an act of communication.

    Acts of communication may involve different sorts of readers.  On
    one hand, the "reader" can be a program like Coq, in which case
    the "belief" that is instilled is that [P] can be mechanically
    derived from a certain set of formal logical rules, and the proof
    is a recipe that guides the program in checking this fact.  Such
    recipes are _formal_ proofs.

    Alternatively, the reader can be a human being, in which case the
    proof will be written in English or some other natural language,
    and will thus necessarily be _informal_.  Here, the criteria for
    success are less clearly specified.  A "valid" proof is one that
    makes the reader believe [P].  But the same proof may be read by
    many different readers, some of whom may be convinced by a
    particular way of phrasing the argument, while others may not be.
    Some readers may be particularly pedantic, inexperienced, or just
    plain thick-headed; the only way to convince them will be to make
    the argument in painstaking detail.  But other readers, more
    familiar in the area, may find all this detail so overwhelming
    that they lose the overall thread; all they want is to be told the
    main ideas, since it is easier for them to fill in the details for
    themselves than to wade through a written presentation of them.
    Ultimately, there is no universal standard, because there is no
    single way of writing an informal proof that is guaranteed to
    convince every conceivable reader.

    In practice, however, mathematicians have developed a rich set of
    conventions and idioms for writing about complex mathematical
    objects that -- at least within a certain community -- make
    communication fairly reliable.  The conventions of this stylized
    form of communication give a fairly clear standard for judging
    proofs good or bad.

    Because we are using Coq in this course, we will be working
    heavily with formal proofs.  But this doesn't mean we can
    completely forget about informal ones!  Formal proofs are useful
    in many ways, but they are _not_ very efficient ways of
    communicating ideas between human beings. *)

(** For example, here is a proof that addition is associative: *)

Theorem plus_assoc' : forall n m p : nat,
  n + (m + p) = (n + m) + p.
Proof. intros n m p. induction n as [| n' IHn']. reflexivity.
  simpl. rewrite -> IHn'. reflexivity.  Qed.

(** Coq is perfectly happy with this.  For a human, however, it
    is difficult to make much sense of it.  We can use comments and
    bullets to show the structure a little more clearly... *)

Theorem plus_assoc'' : forall n m p : nat,
  n + (m + p) = (n + m) + p.
Proof.
  intros n m p. induction n as [| n' IHn'].
  - (* n = 0 *)
    reflexivity.
  - (* n = S n' *)
    simpl. rewrite -> IHn'. reflexivity.   Qed.

(** ... and if you're used to Coq you may be able to step
    through the tactics one after the other in your mind and imagine
    the state of the context and goal stack at each point, but if the
    proof were even a little bit more complicated this would be next
    to impossible.

    A (pedantic) mathematician might write the proof something like
    this: *)

(** - _Theorem_: For any [n], [m] and [p],

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

    _Proof_: By induction on [n].

    - First, suppose [n = 0].  We must show

        0 + (m + p) = (0 + m) + p.

      This follows directly from the definition of [+].

    - Next, suppose [n = S n'], where

        n' + (m + p) = (n' + m) + p.

      We must show

        (S n') + (m + p) = ((S n') + m) + p.

      By the definition of [+], this follows from

        S (n' + (m + p)) = S ((n' + m) + p),

      which is immediate from the induction hypothesis.  _Qed_. *)

(** The overall form of the proof is basically similar, and of
    course this is no accident: Coq has been designed so that its
    [induction] tactic generates the same sub-goals, in the same
    order, as the bullet points that a mathematician would write.  But
    there are significant differences of detail: the formal proof is
    much more explicit in some ways (e.g., the use of [reflexivity])
    but much less explicit in others (in particular, the "proof state"
    at any given point in the Coq proof is completely implicit,
    whereas the informal proof reminds the reader several times where
    things stand). *)

    The [replace] tactic allows you to specify a particular subterm to

   replaces (all copies of) expression [t] in the goal by expression

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, standard, recommended (binary_commute)  

    Recall the [incr] and [bin_to_nat] functions that you
    wrote for the [binary] exercise in the [Basics] chapter.  Prove
    that the following diagram commutes:

                            incr
              bin ----------------------> bin
               |                           |
    bin_to_nat |                           |  bin_to_nat
               |                           |
               v                           v
              nat ----------------------> nat
                             S

    That is, incrementing a binary number and then converting it to
    a (unary) natural number yields the same result as first converting
    it to a natural number and then incrementing.
    Name your theorem [bin_to_nat_pres_incr] ("pres" for "preserves").

    Before you start working on this exercise, copy the definitions
    from your solution to the [binary] exercise here so that this file
    can be graded on its own.  If you want to change your original
    definitions to make the property easier to prove, feel free to
    do so! *)

(** **** Exercise: 5 stars, advanced (binary_inverse)  

    This is a further continuation of the previous exercises about
    binary numbers.  You may find you need to go back and change your
    earlier definitions to get things to work here.

    (a) First, write a function to convert natural numbers to binary
        numbers. *)

Fixpoint nat_to_bin (n:nat) : bin :=
  match n with
  |O => Z
  |S n' => incr (nat_to_bin n')
  end.

(** Prove that, if we start with any [nat], convert it to binary, and
    convert it back, we get the same [nat] we started with.  (Hint: If
    your definition of [nat_to_bin] involved any extra functions, you
    may need to prove a subsidiary lemma showing how such functions
    relate to [nat_to_bin].) *)

(** (b) One might naturally expect that we should also prove the
        opposite direction -- that starting with a binary number,
        converting to a natural, and then back to binary should yield
        the same number we started with.  However, this is not the
        case!  Explain (in a comment) what the problem is. *)

(* Do not modify the following line: *)
Definition manual_grade_for_binary_inverse_b : option (nat*string) := None.

(** (c) Define a normalization function -- i.e., a function
        [normalize] going directly from [bin] to [bin] (i.e., _not_ by
        converting to [nat] and back) such that, for any binary number
        [b], converting [b] to a natural and then back to binary yields
        [(normalize b)].  Prove it.  (Warning: This part is a bit
        tricky -- you may end up defining several auxiliary lemmas.
        One good way to find out what you need is to start by trying
        to prove the main statement, see where you get stuck, and see
        if you can find a lemma -- perhaps requiring its own inductive
        proof -- that will allow the main proof to make progress.) Don't
        define thi using nat_to_bin and bin_to_nat! *)
