PIDE is a general framework for document-oriented prover interaction and integration, based on a bilingual architecture that combines ML and Scala. The overall aim is to connect LCF-style provers like Isabelle (or Coq or HOL) with…
Isabelle/PIDE is the current Prover IDE technology for Isabelle. It has been developed in ML and Scala in the past 4-5 years for this particular proof assistant, but with an open mind towards other systems. PIDE is based on an asynchronous…
Isabelle/PIDE has emerged over more than 10 years as the standard Prover IDE for interactive theorem proving in Isabelle. The well-established Archive of Formal Proofs (AFP) testifies the success of such applications of formalized…
This is an overview of the Isabelle technology behind the Archive of Formal Proofs (AFP). Interactive development and quasi-interactive build jobs impose significant demands of scalability on the logic (usually Isabelle/HOL), on Isabelle/ML…
Interactive theorem provers have developed dramatically over the past four decades, from primitive beginnings to today's powerful systems. Here, we focus on Isabelle/HOL and its distinctive strengths. They include automatic proof search,…
Isabelle/jEdit is the main application of the Prover IDE (PIDE) framework and the default user-interface of Isabelle, but it is not limited to theorem proving. This paper explores possibilities to use it as a general IDE for formal…
Isabelle is a generic theorem prover, designed for interactive reasoning in a variety of formal theories. At present it provides useful proof procedures for Constructive Type Theory, various first-order logics, Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory,…
Isabelle is an interactive theorem prover that supports a variety of logics. It represents rules as propositions (not as functions) and builds proofs by combining rules. These operations constitute a meta-logic (or `logical framework') in…
Proof assistants are important tools for teaching logic. We support this claim by discussing three formalizations in Isabelle/HOL used in a recent course on automated reasoning. The first is a formalization of System W (a system of…
We present an approach for testing student learning outcomes in a course on automated reasoning using the Isabelle proof assistant. The approach allows us to test both general understanding of formal proofs in various logical proof systems…
We report on our journey to develop ProofBuddy, a web application that is powered by a server-side instance of the proof assistant Isabelle, for the teaching and learning of proofs and proving. The journey started from an attempt to use…
We present a formalization of higher-order logic in the Isabelle proof assistant, building directly on the foundational framework Isabelle/Pure and developed to be as small and readable as possible. It should therefore serve as a good…
This paper describes the initial progress towards integrating the Coq proof assistant with the PIDE architecture initially developed for Isabelle. The architecture is aimed at asynchronous, parallel interaction with proof assistants, and is…
Proof competence, i.e. the ability to write and check (mathematical) proofs, is an important skill in Computer Science, but for many students it represents a difficult challenge. The main issues are the correct use of formal language and…
The libraries of proof assistants like Isabelle, Coq, HOL are notoriously difficult to interpret by external tools: de facto, only the prover itself can parse and process them adequately. In the case of Isabelle, an export of the library…
The paper collects preparatory work for interdisciplinary collaboration between three partners, between (1) expertise in improving accessibility of studies for impaired individuals, (2) expertise in developing educational mathematics…
The need for formal definition of the very basis of mathematics arose in the last century. The scale and complexity of mathematics, along with discovered paradoxes, revealed the danger of accumulating errors across theories. Although,…
Despite the recent progress in automatic theorem provers, proof engineers are still suffering from the lack of powerful proof automation. In this position paper we first report our proof strategy language based on a meta-tool approach.…
We present a new software tool for teaching logic based on natural deduction. Its proof system is formalized in the proof assistant Isabelle such that its definition is very precise. Soundness of the formalization has been proved in…
The Students' Proof Assistant (SPA) aims to both teach how to use a proof assistant like Isabelle and also to teach how reliable proof assistants are built. Technically it is a miniature proof assistant inside the Isabelle proof assistant.…
