Intuitionistic tautology (itauto
) decision procedure #
The itauto
tactic will prove any intuitionistic tautology. It implements the well known
G4ip
algorithm:
Dyckhoff, Contraction-free sequent calculi for intuitionistic logic.
All built in propositional connectives are supported: True
, False
, And
, Or
, →
,
Not
, Iff
, Xor'
, as well as Eq
and Ne
on propositions. Anything else, including definitions
and predicate logical connectives (∀
and ∃
), are not supported, and will have to be
simplified or instantiated before calling this tactic.
The resulting proofs will never use any axioms except possibly propext
, and propext
is only
used if the input formula contains an equality of propositions p = q
. Using itauto!
, one can
enable the selective use of LEM for case splitting on specified propositions.
Implementation notes #
The core logic of the prover is in three functions:
prove : Context → IProp → StateM Nat (Bool × Proof)
: The main entry point. Gets a context and a goal, and returns aproof
object or fails, usingStateM Nat
for the name generator.search : Context → IProp → StateM Nat (Bool × Proof)
: Same meaning asproof
, called during the search phase (see below).Context.add : IProp → Proof → Context → Except (IProp → Proof) Context
: Adds a proposition with its proof into the context, but it also does some simplifications on the spot while doing so. It will either return the new context, or if it happens to notice a proof of false, it will return a function to compute a proof of any proposition in the original context.
The intuitionistic logic rules are separated into three groups:
- level 1: No splitting, validity preserving: apply whenever you can.

andΓ, C ⊢ B
This covers the core algorithm, which only handles True
, False
, And
, Or
, and →
.
For Iff
and Eq
, we treat them essentially the same as (p → q) ∧ (q → p)
, although we use
a different IProp
representation because we have to remember to apply different theorems during
replay. For definitions like Not
and Xor'
, we just eagerly unfold them. (This could potentially
cause a blowup issue for Xor'
, but it isn't used very often anyway. We could add it to the IProp
grammar if it matters.)

Insert a proposition and its proof into the context, as in have : A := p
. This will eagerly
apply all level 1 rules on the spot, which are rules that don't split the goal and are validity
preserving: specifically, we drop ⊤
and A → ⊤
hypotheses, close the goal if we find a ⊥
hypothesis, split all conjunctions, and also simplify ⊥ → A
(drop), ⊤ → A
(simplify to A
),
A ∧ B → C
(curry to A → B → C
) and A ∨ B → C
(rewrite to (A → C) ∧ (B → C)
and split).
Add A
to the context Γ
with proof p
. This version of Context.add
takes a continuation
and a target proposition B
, so that in the case that ⊥
is found we can skip the continuation
and just prove B
outright.

The search phase, which deals with the level 3 rules, which are rules that are not validity
preserving and so require proof search. One obvious one is the or-introduction rule: we prove
A ∨ B
by proving A
or B
, and we might have to try one and backtrack.
There are two rules dealing with implication in this category: p, p → C ⊢ B
where p
is an
atom (which is safe if we can find it but often requires the right search to expose the p
assumption), and (A₁ → A₂) → C ⊢ B
. We decompose the double implication into two subgoals: one to
prove A₁ → A₂
, which can be written A₂ → C, A₁ ⊢ A₂
(where we used A₁
to simplify
(A₁ → A₂) → C
), and one to use the consequent, C ⊢ B
. The search here is that there are
potentially many implications to split like this, and we have to try all of them if we want to be
complete.
The main prover. This receives a context of proven or assumed lemmas and a target proposition,
and returns a proof or none
(with state for the fresh variable generator).
The intuitionistic logic rules are separated into three groups:
- level 1: No splitting, validity preserving: apply whenever you can.
Left rules in
Context.add
, right rules inprove
- level 2: Splitting rules, validity preserving: apply after level 1 rules. Done in
prove
- level 3: Splitting rules, not validity preserving: apply only if nothing else applies.

The level 1 rules on the right of the turnstile are Γ ⊢ ⊤
and Γ ⊢ A → B
, these are easy to
handle. The rule Γ ⊢ A ∧ B
is a level 2 rule, also handled here. If none of these apply, we try
the level 2 rule A ∨ B ⊢ C
by searching the context and splitting all ors we find. Finally, if
we don't make any more progress, we go to the search phase.
Reify an Expr
into a IProp
, allocating anything non-propositional as an atom in the
AtomM
state.
Once we have a proof object, we have to apply it to the goal.

A decision procedure for intuitionistic propositional logic. Unlike finish

this
tactic never uses the law of excluded middle (without the !
option), and the proof search is
tailored for this use case. (itauto!
will work as a classical SAT solver, but the algorithm is
not very good in this situation.)
example (p : Prop) : ¬ (p ↔ ¬ p) := by itauto
itauto [a, b]

will case on all decidable propositions that it can
find among the atomic propositions, and itauto! *
will case on all propositional atoms.
Warning: This can blow up the proof search, so it should be used sparingly.
