Lean.Elab.PreDefinition.WF.GuessLex

This module finds lexicographic termination arguments for well-founded recursion.

Starting with basic measures (sizeOf xᵢ for all parameters xᵢ), and complex measures (e.g. e₂ - e₁ if e₁ < e₂ is found in the context of a recursive call) it tries all combinations until it finds one where all proof obligations go through with the given tactic (decerasing_by), if given, or the default decreasing_tactic.

For mutual recursion, a single measure is not just one parameter, but one from each recursive function. Enumerating these can lead to a combinatoric explosion, so we bound the nubmer of measures tried.

In addition to measures derived from sizeOf xᵢ, it also considers measures that assign an order to the functions themselves. This way we can support mutual function definitions where no arguments decrease from one function to another.

The result of this module is a TerminationWF, which is then passed on to wfRecursion; this design is crucial so that whatever we infer in this module could also be written manually by the user. It would be bad if there are function definitions that can only be processed with the guessed lexicographic order.

The following optimizations are applied to make this feasible:

  1. The crucial optimiziation is to look at each argument of each recursive call once, try to prove < and (if that fails ), and then look at that table to pick a suitable measure.

  2. The next-crucial optimization is to fill that table lazily. This way, we run the (likely expensive) tactics as few times as possible, while still being able to consider a possibly large number of combinations.

  3. Before we even try to prove <, we check if the arguments are equal (=). No well-founded measure will relate equal terms, likely this check is faster than firing up the tactic engine, and it adds more signal to the output.

  4. Instead of traversing the whole function body over and over, we traverse it once and store the arguments (in unpacked form) and the local MetaM state at each recursive call (see collectRecCalls), which we then re-use for the possibly many proof attempts.

The logic here is based on “Finding Lexicographic Orders for Termination Proofs in Isabelle/HOL” by Lukas Bulwahn, Alexander Krauss, and Tobias Nipkow, 10.1007/978-3-540-74591-4_5 https://www21.in.tum.de/~nipkow/pubs/tphols07.pdf.

We got the idea of considering the measure e₂ - e₁ if we see e₁ < e₂ from “Termination Analysis with Calling Context Graphs” by Panagiotis Manolios & Daron Vroon, https://doi.org/10.1007/11817963_36.

Given a predefinition, return the variabe names in the outermost lambdas. Includes the “fixed prefix”.

The length of the returned array is also used to determine the arity of the function, so it should match what packDomain does.

    Given the original parameter names from originalVarNames, find good variable names to be used when talking about termination arguments: Use user-given parameter names if present; use x1...xn otherwise.

    The names ought to accessible (no macro scopes) and fresh wrt to the current environment, so that with showInferredTerminationBy we can print them to the user reliably. We do that by appending ' as needed.

    It is possible (but unlikely without malice) that some of the user-given names shadow each other, and the guessed relation refers to the wrong one. In that case, the user gets to keep both pieces (and may have to rename variables).

          Determine if the measure for parameter x should be sizeOf x or just x.

          For non-mutual definitions, we omit sizeOf when the argument does not depend on the other varying parameters, and its WellFoundedRelation instance goes via SizeOf.

          For mutual definitions, we omit sizeOf only when the argument is (at reducible transparency!) of type Nat (else we'd have to worry about differently-typed measures from different functions to line up).

                              The elaborator is prone to duplicate terms, including recursive calls, even if the user only wrote a single one. This duplication is wasteful if we run the tactics on duplicated calls, and confusing in the output of GuessLex. So prune the list of recursive calls, and remove those where another call exists that has the same goal and context that is no more specific.
