Formalising New Mathematics in Isabelle: Diagonal Ramsey

Authors: Lawrence C. Paulson

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

Abstract
The formalisation of mathematics is becoming routine, but its value to research mathematicians remains unproven. There are few examples of using proof assistants to verify new work. This paper reports the formalisation - inspired by a Lean one by Bhavik Mehta - of a major new result [Marcelo Campos et al., 2023] about Ramsey numbers. One unexpected finding was a heavy role for computer algebra techniques.

Practically Feasible Proof Logging for Pseudo-Boolean Optimization

Authors: Wietze Koops, Daniel Le Berre, Magnus O. Myreen, Jakob Nordström, Andy Oertel, Yong Kiam Tan, and Marc Vinyals

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 340, 31st International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2025)

Abstract
Certifying solvers have long been standard for decision problems in Boolean satisfiability (SAT), allowing for proof logging and checking with very limited overhead, but developing similar tools for combinatorial optimization has remained a challenge. A recent promising approach covering a wide range of solving paradigms is pseudo-Boolean proof logging, but this has mostly consisted of proof-of-concept works far from delivering the performance required for real-world deployment. In this work, we present an efficient toolchain based on VeriPB and CakePB for formally verified pseudo-Boolean optimization. We implement proof logging for the full range of techniques in the state-of-the-art solvers RoundingSat and Sat4j, including core-guided search and linear programming integration with Farkas certificates and cut generation. Our experimental evaluation shows that proof logging and checking performance in this much more expressive paradigm is now quite close to the level of SAT solving, and hence is clearly practically feasible.

Towards a Coq-verified Chain of Esterel Semantics

Authors: Lionel Rieg and Gérard Berry

Published in: LITES, Volume 10, Issue 1 (2025). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 10, Issue 1

Abstract
This article focuses on formally specifying and verifying the chain of formal semantics of the Esterel synchronous programming language using the Coq proof assistant. In particular, in addition to the standard logical (LBS) semantics, constructive semantics (CBS) and constructive state semantics (CSS), we introduce a novel microstep semantics that gets rid of the Must/Can potential function pair of the constructive semantics and can be viewed as an abstract version of Esterel’s circuit semantics used by compilers to generate software code and hardware designs. The article also comes with formal proofs in Coq of the equivalence between the CBS and CSS semantics and of the refinement of the CSS by the microstep semantics, except for the loop construct of Esterel.

Proof Pearl : Playing with the Tower of Hanoi Formally

Authors: Laurent Théry

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

Abstract
The Tower of Hanoi is a typical example that is used in computer science courses to illustrate all the power of recursion. In this paper, we show that it is also a very nice example for inductive proofs and formal verification. We present some non-trivial results that have been formalised in the {Coq} proof assistant.

Formal Proofs of Tarjan’s Strongly Connected Components Algorithm in Why3, Coq and Isabelle

Authors: Ran Chen, Cyril Cohen, Jean-Jacques Lévy, Stephan Merz, and Laurent Théry

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 141, 10th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2019)

Abstract
Comparing provers on a formalization of the same problem is always a valuable exercise. In this paper, we present the formal proof of correctness of a non-trivial algorithm from graph theory that was carried out in three proof assistants: Why3, Coq, and Isabelle.

Quantitative Continuity and Computable Analysis in Coq

Authors: Florian Steinberg, Laurent Théry, and Holger Thies

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 141, 10th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2019)

Abstract
We give a number of formal proofs of theorems from the field of computable analysis. Many of our results specify executable algorithms that work on infinite inputs by means of operating on finite approximations and are proven correct in the sense of computable analysis. The development is done in the proof assistant Coq and heavily relies on the Incone library for information theoretic continuity. This library is developed by one of the authors and the results of this paper extend the library. While full executability in a formal development of mathematical statements about real numbers and the like is not a feature that is unique to the Incone library, its original contribution is to adhere to the conventions of computable analysis to provide a general purpose interface for algorithmic reasoning on continuous structures. The paper includes a brief description of the most important concepts of Incone and its sub libraries mf and Metric. The results that provide complete computational content include that the algebraic operations and the efficient limit operator on the reals are computable, that the countably infinite product of a space with itself is isomorphic to a space of functions, compatibility of the enumeration representation of subsets of natural numbers with the abstract definition of the space of open subsets of the natural numbers, and that continuous realizability implies sequential continuity. We also describe many non-computational results that support the correctness of definitions from the library. These include that the information theoretic notion of continuity used in the library is equivalent to the metric notion of continuity on Baire space, a complete comparison of the different concepts of continuity that arise from metric and represented space structures and the discontinuity of the unrestricted limit operator on the real numbers and the task of selecting an element of a closed subset of the natural numbers.
