我基本上是想证明
Theorem le_unique {x y : nat} (p q : x <= y) : p = q.
不假定任何公理(例如证明无关)。尤其是,我曾试图通过le_unique
( induction
和inversion
),但它似乎从未走远
Theorem le_unique (x y : nat) (p q : x <= y) : p = q.
Proof.
revert p q.
induction x as [ | x rec_x]. (* induction on y similarly fruitless; induction on p, q fails *)
- destruct p as [ | y p].
+ inversion q as [ | ]. (* destruct q fails and inversion q makes no progress *)
admit.
+ admit.
- admit.
Admitted.

在标准库中,这个引理可以在模块Peano_dec.le_unique
中作为Coq.Arith.Peano_dec
找到。
至于一个相对简单的直接证明,我喜欢对p
本身进行归纳。在手工证明了Coq不是自动生成的几个归纳原理后,并记住nat
上的等式证明是唯一的,证明是在p
上相对简单的归纳,然后在q
上给出四种情况,其中两种是荒谬的。
下面是一个完整的Coq文件,以证明le_unique
。

Require Eqdep_dec PeanoNat.

受Eqdep_dec
的启发(还有一个引理),我已经把这个证明做好了。其思想是,x <= y
可以转换为exists k, y = k + x
,并且通过这种转换进行往返会产生一个x <= y
,它实际上是从=
到原始的。
(* Existing lemmas (e.g. Nat.le_exists_sub) seem unusable (declared opaque) *)
Fixpoint le_to_add {x y : nat} (prf : x <= y) : exists k, y = k + x :=
match prf in _ <= y return exists k, y = k + x with
| le_n _ => ex_intro _ 0 eq_refl
| le_S _ y prf =>
match le_to_add prf with
| ex_intro _ k rec =>
ex_intro
_ (S k)
match rec in _ = z return S y = S z with eq_refl => eq_refl end
end
end.
Fixpoint add_to_le (x k : nat) : x <= k + x :=
match k with
| O => le_n x
| S k => le_S x (k + x) (add_to_le x k)
end.
Theorem rebuild_le
{x y : nat} (prf : x <= y)
: match le_to_add prf return x <= y with
| ex_intro _ k prf =>
match prf in _ = z return x <= z -> x <= y with
| eq_refl => fun p => p
end (add_to_le x k)
end = prf.
Proof.
revert y prf.
fix rec 2. (* induction is not enough *)
destruct prf as [ | y prf].
- reflexivity.
- specialize (rec y prf).
simpl in *.
destruct (le_to_add prf) as [k ->].
subst prf.
reflexivity.
Defined.
然后,任何两个x <= y
s将产生相同的k
,通过+
的内射性。=
在nat
上的可判定性告诉我们,产生的等式也是相等的。因此,x <= y
的映射到相同的exists k, y = k + x
,并且映射这个等式返回告诉我们x <= y
s也是相等的。
Theorem le_unique (x y : nat) (p q : x <= y) : p = q.
Proof.
rewrite <- (rebuild_le p), <- (rebuild_le q).
destruct (le_to_add p) as [k ->], (le_to_add q) as [l prf].
pose proof (f_equal (fun n => n - x) prf) as prf'.
simpl in prf'.
rewrite ?Nat.add_sub in prf'.
subst l.
apply K_dec with (p := prf).
+ decide equality.
+ reflexivity.
Defined.
我仍然希望有一个更好的(也就是更短的)证据。
