Deriving a proof of false

linarith uses an untrusted oracle to produce a certificate of unsatisfiability. It needs to do some proof reconstruction work to turn this into a proof term. This file implements the reconstruction.

Main declarations

The public facing declaration in this file is proveFalseByLinarith.

def Linarith.mkLTZeroProof : List (Lean.Expr × ℕ) → Lean.MetaM Lean.Expr

The main method

def Linarith.proveFalseByLinarith (transparency : Lean.Meta.TransparencyMode) (oracle : Linarith.CertificateOracle) (discharger : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Unit) : Lean.MVarId → List Lean.Expr → Lean.MetaM Lean.Expr

proveFalseByLinarith is the main workhorse of linarith. Given a list l of proofs of tᵢ Rᵢ 0, it tries to derive a contradiction from l and use this to produce a proof of False.

oracle : CertificateOracle is used to search for a certificate of unsatisfiability.

The returned certificate is a map m from hypothesis indices to natural number coefficients. If our set of hypotheses has the form {tᵢ Rᵢ 0}, then the elimination process should have guaranteed that 1.\ ∑ (m i)*tᵢ = 0, with at least one i such that m i > 0 and Rᵢ is <.

We have also that 2.\ ∑ (m i)*tᵢ < 0, since for each i, (m i)*tᵢ ≤ 0 and at least one is strictly negative. So we conclude a contradiction 0 < 0.

It remains to produce proofs of (1) and (2). (1) is verified by calling the provided discharger tactic, which is typically ring. We prove (2) by folding over the set of hypotheses.

transparency : TransparencyMode controls the transparency level with which atoms are identified.
