A Verified Cost Model for Call-By-Push-Value

Authors: Zhuo Zoey Chen, Johannes Åman Pohjola, and Christine Rizkallah

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)


Abstract
The call-by-push-value λ-calculus allows for syntactically specifying the order of evaluation as part of the term language. Hence, it serves as a unifying language for embedding various evaluation strategies including call-by-value and call-by-name. Given the impact of call-by-push-value, it is remarkable that its adequacy as a model for computational complexity theory has not yet been studied. In this paper, we show that the call-by-push-value λ-calculus is reasonable for both time and space complexity. A reasonable cost model can encode other reasonable cost models with polynomial overhead in time and constant factor overhead in space. We achieve this by encoding call-by-push-value λ-calculus into Turing machines, following a simulation strategy by Forster et al.; for the converse direction, we prove that Levy’s encoding of the call-by-value λ-calculus has reasonable complexity bounds. The main results have been formalised in the HOL4 theorem prover.

Animating MRBNFs: Truly Modular Binding-Aware Datatypes in Isabelle/HOL

Authors: Jan van Brügge, Andrei Popescu, and Dmitriy Traytel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)


Abstract
Nominal Isabelle provides powerful tools for meta-theoretic reasoning about syntax of logics or programming languages, in which variables are bound. It has been instrumental to major verification successes, such as Gödel’s incompleteness theorems. However, the existing tooling is not compositional. In particular, it does not support nested recursion, linear binding patterns, or infinitely branching syntax. These limitations are fundamental in the way nominal datatypes and functions on them are constructed within Nominal Isabelle. Taking advantage of recent theoretical advancements that overcome these limitations through a modular approach using the concept of map-restricted bounded natural functor (MRBNF), we develop and implement a new definitional package for binding-aware datatypes in Isabelle/HOL, called MrBNF. We describe the journey from the user specification to the end-product types, constants and theorems the tool generates. We validate MrBNF in two formalization case studies that so far were out of reach of nominal approaches: (1) Mazza’s isomorphism between the finitary and the infinitary affine λ-calculus, and (2) the POPLmark 2B challenge, which involves non-free binders for linear pattern matching.

Certifying Projected Knowledge Compilation

Authors: Randal E. Bryant, Yong Kiam Tan, and Marijn J. H. Heule

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 341, 28th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2025)


Abstract
Knowledge compilers convert Boolean formulas, given in conjunctive normal form (CNF), into representations that enable efficient evaluation of unweighted and weighted model counts, as well as a variety of other useful properties. With projected knowledge compilation, the generated representation describes the restriction of the formula to a designated set of data variables, with the remaining ones eliminated by existential quantification. Projected knowledge compilation has applications in a variety of domains, including formal verification and synthesis. This paper describes a formally verified proof framework for certifying the output of a projected knowledge compiler. It builds on an earlier clausal proof framework for certifying the output of a standard knowledge compiler. Extending the framework to projected compilation requires a method to represent Skolem assignments, describing how the quantified variables can be assigned, given an assignment for the data variables. We do so by extending the representation generated by the knowledge compiler to also encode Skolem assignments. We also refine the earlier framework, moving beyond purely clausal proofs to enable scaling certification to larger formulas. We present experimental results obtained by making small modifications to the D4 projected knowledge compiler and extensions of our earlier proof generator. We detail a soundness argument stating that a compiler output that passes our certifier is logically equivalent to the quantified input formula; the soundness argument has been formally validated using the HOL4 proof assistant. The checker also ensures that the compiler output satisfies the properties required for efficient unweighted and weighted model counting. We have developed two proof checkers for the certification framework: one written in C and designed for high performance and one written in CakeML and formally verified in HOL4.

Automatic Goal Clone Detection in Rocq

Authors: Ali Ghanbari

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)


Abstract
Proof engineering in Rocq is a labor-intensive process, and as proof developments grow in size, redundancy and maintainability become challenges. One such redundancy is goal cloning, i.e., proving α-equivalent goals multiple times, leading to wasted effort and bloated proof scripts. In this paper, we introduce clone-finder, a novel technique for detecting goal clones in Rocq proofs. By leveraging the formal notion of α-equivalence for Gallina terms, clone-finder systematically identifies duplicated proof goals across large Rocq codebases. We evaluate clone-finder on 40 real-world Rocq projects from the CoqGym dataset. Our results reveal that each project contains an average of 27.73 instances of goal clone. We observed that the clones can be categorized as either exact goal duplication, generalization, or α-equivalent goals with different proofs, each signifying varying levels duplicate effort. Our findings highlight significant untapped potential for proof reuse in Rocq-based formal verification projects, paving the way for future improvements in automated proof engineering.

IsaBIL: A Framework for Verifying (In)correctness of Binaries in Isabelle/HOL

Authors: Matt Griffin, Brijesh Dongol, and Azalea Raad

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)


Abstract
This paper presents IsaBIL, a binary analysis framework in Isabelle/HOL that is based on the widely used Binary Analysis Platform (BAP). Specifically, in IsaBIL, we formalise BAP’s intermediate language, called BIL and integrate it with Hoare logic (to enable proofs of correctness) as well as incorrectness logic (to enable proofs of incorrectness). IsaBIL inherits the full flexibility of BAP, allowing us to verify binaries for a wide range of languages (C, C++, Rust), toolchains (LLVM, Ghidra) and target architectures (x86, RISC-V), and can also be used when the source code for a binary is unavailable. To make verification tractable, we develop a number of big-step rules that combine BIL’s existing small-step rules at different levels of abstraction to support reuse. We develop high-level reasoning rules for RISC-V instructions (our main target architecture) to further optimise verification. Additionally, we develop Isabelle proof tactics that exploit common patterns in C binaries for RISC-V to discharge large numbers of proof goals (often in the 100s) automatically. IsaBIL includes an Isabelle/ML based parser for BIL programs, allowing one to automatically generate the associated Isabelle/HOL program locale from a BAP output. Taken together, IsaBIL provides a highly flexible proof environment for program binaries. As examples, we prove correctness of key examples from the Joint Strike Fighter coding standards and the MITRE database.

The CakeML Project’s Quest for Ever Stronger Correctness Theorems (Invited Paper)

Authors: Magnus O. Myreen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 193, 12th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2021)


Abstract
The CakeML project has developed a proof-producing code generation mechanism for the HOL4 theorem prover, a verified compiler for ML and, using these, a number of verified application programs that are proved correct down to the machine code that runs them (in some cases, even down to the underlying hardware). The purpose of this extended abstract is to tell the story of the project and to point curious readers to publications where they can read more about specific contributions.

Specifying Message Formats with Contiguity Types

Authors: Konrad Slind

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 193, 12th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2021)


Abstract
We introduce Contiguity Types, a formalism for network message formats, aimed especially at self-describing formats. Contiguity types provide an intermediate layer between programming language data structures and messages, offering a helpful setting from which to automatically generate decoders, filters, and message generators. The syntax and semantics of contiguity types are defined and used to prove the correctness of a matching algorithm which has the flavour of a parser generator. The matcher has been used to enforce semantic well-formedness conditions on complex message formats for an autonomous unmanned avionics system.

Qualification of Formal Methods Tools (Dagstuhl Seminar 15182)

Authors: Darren Cofer, Gerwin Klein, Konrad Slind, and Virginie Wiels

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 5, Issue 4 (2015)


Abstract
Formal methods tools have been shown to be effective at finding defects in and verifying the correctness of safety-critical systems, many of which require some form of certification. However, there are still many issues that must be addressed before formal verification tools can be used as part of the certification of safety-critical systems. For example, most developers of avionics systems are unfamiliar with which formal methods tools are most appropriate for different problem domains. Different levels of expertise are necessary to use these tools effectively and correctly. In most certification processes, a tool used to meet process objectives must be qualified. The qualification of formal verification tools will likely pose unique challenges.
