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.

def Qq.ofNatQ {u : Lean.Level} (α : let u := u; Q(Type u)) :

              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.

                              The main method #

                              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.
