Handbook of Practical Logic and Automated Reasoning by John Harrison

By John Harrison

This booklet meets the call for for a self-contained and broad-based account of the techniques, the equipment and using computerized reasoning. The mathematical good judgment foundations are defined along side useful software, all with the minimal of must haves. The technique is confident, concrete and algorithmic: a key function is that equipment are defined just about real implementations (for which code is provided) that readers can use, regulate and scan with. This e-book is very best for these looking a one-stop resource for the overall quarter of computerized reasoning. it may be used as a reference, or as a spot to benefit the basics, both together with complex classes or for self learn.

Sample text

The definition of atoms above can be translated directly into an OCaml function, for example using union for ‘∪’ and [x] for ‘{x}’. However, we prefer to define it in terms of the existing iterator atom union: let atoms fm = atom_union (fun a -> [a]) fm;; For example: # atoms <

~p \/ (r <=> s)>>;; - : prop list = [P "p"; P "q"; P "r"; P "s"] Because the interpretation of a propositional formula p depends only on the valuation’s action on the finite (say n-element) set atoms(p), and it can only make two choices for each, the final truth-value is completely determined by all 2n choices for those atoms.

Write a simplifier that uses a more intelligent traversal strategy to avoid wasteful evaluation of subterms such as E in 0 · E or E − E. Write a function to generate huge expressions in order to test how much more efficient it is. g. transform (x+1)3 −3·(x+1)2 +3·(2·x−x) into x3 −2. We will eventually develop similar functions in Chapter 5. Many concrete strings with slightly different bracketing or spacing correspond to the same abstract syntax tree, so we can’t expect print(parse(s)) = s in general.

As planned, we will implement a parser and prettyprinter to translate between abstract syntax trees and concrete strings (‘x + 0’), setting them up to be invoked automatically by OCaml for input and output of expressions. We model our concrete syntax on ordinary algebraic notation, except that in a couple of respects we will follow the example of computer languages rather than traditional mathematics. We allow arbitrarily long ‘words’ as variables, whereas mathematicians traditionally use mostly single letters with superscripts and subscripts; this is especially important given the limited stock of ASCII characters.
