Mathlib.Tactic.Linarith.Verification

Deriving a proof of false #

linarith uses an untrusted oracle to produce a certificate of unsatisfiability. It needs to do some proof reconstruction work to turn this into a proof term. This file implements the reconstruction.

Main declarations #

The public facing declaration in this file is proveFalseByLinarith.

source
def Qq.ofNatQ {u : Lean.Level} (α : let u := u; Q(Type u)) :
Q(Semiring «$α») → (n : ℕ) → Q(«$α»)

Typesafe conversion of n : ℕ to Q($α).

def Linarith.mulExpr (n : ℕ) (e : Lean.Expr) :
Lean.MetaM Lean.Expr

mulExpr n e creates an Expr representing n*e. When elaborated, the coefficient will be a native numeral of the same type as e.

List Q(«$α») → Q(«$α»)

Inner loop for addExprs'.

Equations

def Linarith.addExprs :
List Lean.Expr → Lean.MetaM Lean.Expr

addExprs L creates an Expr representing the sum of the elements of L, associated left.

Equations

def Linarith.addIneq :
Mathlib.Ineq → Mathlib.Ineq → Lean.Name × Mathlib.Ineq

If our goal is to add together two inequalities t1 R1 0 and t2 R2 0, addIneq R1 R2 produces the strength of the inequality in the sum R, along with the name of a lemma to apply in order to conclude t1 + t2 R 0.

Equations

def Linarith.mkLTZeroProof :
List (Lean.Expr × ℕ) → Lean.MetaM Lean.Expr

mkLTZeroProof coeffs pfs takes a list of proofs of the form tᵢ Rᵢ 0, paired with coefficients cᵢ. It produces a proof that ∑cᵢ * tᵢ R 0, where R is as strong as possible.

Equations
source
def Linarith.mkLTZeroProof.step (c : Mathlib.Ineq) (pf npf : Lean.Expr) (coeff : ℕ) :
Lean.MetaM (Mathlib.Ineq × Lean.Expr)

step c pf npf coeff assumes that pf is a proof of t1 R1 0 and npf is a proof of t2 R2 0. It uses mkSingleCompZeroOf to prove t1 + coeff*t2 R 0, and returns R along with this proof.

List Lean.Expr → Lean.MetaM (List Lean.Expr)

addNegEqProofs l inspects the list of proofs l for proofs of the form t = 0. For each such proof, it adds a proof of -t = 0 to the list.

Equations

def Linarith.proveEqZeroUsing (tac : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Unit) (e : Lean.Expr) :

proveEqZeroUsing tac e tries to use tac to construct a proof of e = 0.

The main method #

source
def Linarith.proveFalseByLinarith (transparency : Lean.Meta.TransparencyMode) (oracle : CertificateOracle) (discharger : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Unit) :
Lean.MVarId → List Lean.Expr → Lean.MetaM Lean.Expr

proveFalseByLinarith is the main workhorse of linarith. Given a list l of proofs of tᵢ Rᵢ 0, it tries to derive a contradiction from l and use this to produce a proof of False.

oracle : CertificateOracle is used to search for a certificate of unsatisfiability.

The returned certificate is a map m from hypothesis indices to natural number coefficients. If our set of hypotheses has the form {tᵢ Rᵢ 0}, then the elimination process should have guaranteed that 1.\ ∑ (m i)*tᵢ = 0, with at least one i such that m i > 0 and Rᵢ is <.

We have also that 2.\ ∑ (m i)*tᵢ < 0, since for each i, (m i)*tᵢ ≤ 0 and at least one is strictly negative. So we conclude a contradiction 0 < 0.

It remains to produce proofs of (1) and (2). (1) is verified by calling the provided discharger tactic, which is typically ring. We prove (2) by folding over the set of hypotheses.

transparency : TransparencyMode controls the transparency level with which atoms are identified.
