Autosubst: On Mechanising Binders in a General-Purpose Proof Assistant (Invited Talk)

Authors: Kathrin Stark

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

Abstract
The question of handling binders effectively regularly comes up when mechanising results in a proof assistant. Since the beginning of proof assistants, many solutions have been suggested: these include de Bruijn syntax, locally nameless binders, nominal syntax or HOAS. But even today - 20 years after the POPLMark Challenge [Brian E. Aydemir et al., 2005] - new tools and approaches to binding are still being published. Binders are still mentioned as being a complication of mechanised proofs over pen-and-paper proofs and the source of uninteresting technicalities and heaps of boilerplate - particularly, when working in a proof assistant without native support for binders or quotients. Autosubst [Steven Schäfer et al., 2015; Steven Schäfer et al., 2015], initially developed a decade ago as a teaching tool, addresses this problem by automating boilerplate code generation for a de Bruijn representation in the Rocq prover. Autosubst translates a specification into the corresponding pure or scoped de Bruijn algebra: It hence generates a corresponding instantiation operation for parallel substitutions, and several equational substitution lemmas. Central to its usability is a rewriting tactic that automatically decides equality up to substitutions, requiring minimal input and knowledge from the user’s side. This greatly simplifies using the otherwise notoriously difficult de Bruijn representation. Since then, Autosubst has been successfully used in several projects. In this talk, I will give an overview of the background and history of Autosubst and give an overview on the work, tools, and formalisations around it [Kathrin Stark et al., 2019; Kathrin Stark, 2020; Andreas Abel et al., 2019]. Moreover, this talk will highlight some of the more recent extensions [Yannick Forster and Kathrin Stark, 2020] as well as outline future challenges and directions.

Barendregt’s Theory of the λ-Calculus, Refreshed and Formalized

Authors: Adrienne Lancelot, Beniamino Accattoli, and Maxime Vemclefs

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

Abstract
Barendregt’s book on the untyped λ-calculus refines the inconsistent view of β-divergence as representation of the undefined via the key concept of head reduction. In this paper, we put together recent revisitations of some key theorems laid out in Barendregt’s book, and we formalize them in the Abella proof assistant. Our work provides a compact and refreshed presentation of the core of the book. The formalization faithfully mimics pen-and-paper proofs. Two interesting aspects are the manipulation of contexts for the study of contextual equivalence and a formal alternative to the informal trick at work in Takahashi’s proof of the genericity lemma. As a by-product, we obtain an alternative definition of contextual equivalence that does not mention contexts.

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.

Efficient Certified Reasoning for Binarized Neural Networks

Authors: Jiong Yang, Yong Kiam Tan, Mate Soos, Magnus O. Myreen, and Kuldeep S. Meel

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

Abstract
Neural networks have emerged as essential components in safety-critical applications - these use cases demand complex, yet trustworthy computations. Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) are a type of neural network where each neuron is constrained to a Boolean value; they are particularly well-suited for safety-critical tasks because they retain much of the computational capacities of full-scale (floating-point or quantized) deep neural networks, but remain compatible with satisfiability solvers for qualitative verification and with model counters for quantitative reasoning. However, existing methods for BNN analysis suffer from either limited scalability or susceptibility to soundness errors, which hinders their applicability in real-world scenarios. In this work, we present a scalable and trustworthy approach for both qualitative and quantitative verification of BNNs. Our approach introduces a native representation of BNN constraints in a custom-designed solver for qualitative reasoning, and in an approximate model counter for quantitative reasoning. We further develop specialized proof generation and checking pipelines with native support for BNN constraint reasoning, ensuring trustworthiness for all of our verification results. Empirical evaluations on a BNN robustness verification benchmark suite demonstrate that our certified solving approach achieves a 9× speedup over prior certified CNF and PB-based approaches, and our certified counting approach achieves a 218× speedup over the existing CNF-based baseline. In terms of coverage, our pipeline produces fully certified results for 99% and 86% of the qualitative and quantitative reasoning queries on BNNs, respectively. This is in sharp contrast to the best existing baselines which can fully certify only 62% and 4% of the queries, respectively.

Compositional Static Value Analysis for Higher-Order Numerical Programs

Authors: Milla Valnet, Raphaël Monat, and Antoine Miné

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

Abstract
Static analyzers have been successfully developed to detect runtime errors in many languages. However, the automatic analysis of functional languages remains a challenge due to their recursive functions, recursive algebraic data types, and higher-order functions. Classic type systems provide compositional methods that are in general not precise enough to prove the absence of runtime errors such as assertion failures. At the other end of the spectrum, deductive methods are more expressive but may require user guidance to prove invariants. Our work describes a static value analysis by abstract interpretation for a higher-order pure functional language. This analysis provides a sound and automatic approach to discover invariants and prevent assertion and match failures. We have designed a compositional analysis: functions are analyzed only once, at their definition site, generating a summary of their behavior. The summaries can be viewed as input-output relations expressed with relational abstract domains. We present two new abstract domains. A first abstract domain summarizes recursive algebraic data types. A second abstract domain lifts existing disjunctive relational summaries to higher-order by formalizing them as domains able to abstract higher-order functions. Both abstractions are parameterized by the abstractions of basic types (strings, integers, ...). Thanks to this parametric nature, both domains can be combined, allowing the analysis of higher-order functions manipulating algebraic data types and, conversely, algebraic data types using functions as first-class values. We have implemented this analysis in the open-source MOPSA platform. Preliminary evaluation confirms the precision of our approach on a set of 40 handwritten toy programs as well as 20 programs from the state-of-the-art Salto analyzer benchmark.

The Algebra of Patterns

Authors: David Binder and Lean Ermantraut

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

Abstract
Pattern matching is a popular feature in functional, imperative and object-oriented programming languages. Language designers should therefore invest effort in a good design for pattern matching. Most languages choose a first-match semantics for pattern matching; that is, clauses are tried in the order in which they appear in the program until the first one matches. As a consequence, the order in which the clauses appear cannot be arbitrarily changed, which results in a less declarative programming model. The declarative alternative to this is an order-independent semantics for pattern matching, which is not implemented in most programming languages since it requires more verbose patterns. The reason for this verbosity is that the syntax of patterns is usually not expressive enough to express the complement of a pattern. In this paper, we show a principled way to make order-independent pattern matching practical. Our solution consists of two parts: First, we introduce a boolean algebra of patterns which can express the complement of a pattern. Second, we introduce default clauses to pattern matches. These default clauses capture the essential idea of a fallthrough case without sacrificing the property of order-independence.

Evidence Normalization in System FC (Invited Talk)

Authors: Dimitrios Vytiniotis and Simon Peyton Jones

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 21, 24th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA 2013)

Abstract
System FC is an explicitly typed language that serves as the target language for Haskell source programs. System FC is based on System F with the addition of erasable but explicit type equality proof witnesses. Equality proof witnesses are generated from type inference performed on source Haskell programs. Such witnesses may be very large objects, which causes performance degradation in later stages of compilation, and makes it hard to debug the results of type inference and subsequent program transformations. In this paper we present an equality proof simplification algorithm, implemented in GHC, which greatly reduces the size of the target System FC programs.
