Formal verification of traditional algorithms are of great significance due to their wide application in state-of-the-art software. Timsort is a complicated and hybrid stable sorting algorithm, derived from merge sort and insertion sort.…
An Isabelle/HOL formalisation of G\"odel's two incompleteness theorems is presented. The work follows \'Swierczkowski's detailed proof of the theorems using hereditarily finite (HF) set theory. Avoiding the usual arithmetical encodings of…
We report on our formalization of matrix-interpretation in Isabelle/HOL. Matrices are required to certify termination proofs and we wish to utilize them for complexity proofs, too. For the latter aim, only basic methods have already been…
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,…
Using Isabelle/HOL, we verify the state-of-the-art decision procedure for multi-level syllogistic with singleton (MLSS for short), which is a quantifier-free fragment of set theory. We formalise its syntax and semantics as well as a sound…
Deductive verification of hybrid systems (HSs) increasingly attracts more attention in recent years because of its power and scalability, where a powerful specification logic for HSs is the cornerstone. Often, HSs are naturally modelled by…
We present a formalization of basics related to infinite words in the generic proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. Furthermore, we present a formalization of purely morphic and morphic languages. Finally, we present a formalized definition of…
We want to verify the correctness of optimization phases in the GraalVM compiler, which consist of many thousands of lines of complex Java code performing sophisticated graph transformations. We have built high-level models of the data…
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…
We present a proof procedure for univariate real polynomial problems in Isabelle/HOL. The core mathematics of our procedure is based on univariate cylindrical algebraic decomposition. We follow the approach of untrusted certificates,…
Many facts possess symmetrical counterparts that often require a separate formal proof, depending on the nature of the involved symmetry. We introduce a method in Isabelle/HOL which produces such a symmetrical fact for the list datatype and…
Proof assistants offer tactics to facilitate inductive proofs. However, it still requires human ingenuity to decide what arguments to pass to those induction tactics. To automate this process, we present smart_induct for Isabelle/HOL. Given…
We present simple new Hoare logics and refinement calculi for hybrid systems in the style of differential dynamic logic. (Refinement) Kleene algebra with tests is used for reasoning about the program structure and generating verification…
We formalise the basics of the double-pushout approach to graph transformation in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL and provide associated machine-checked proofs. Specifically, we formalise graphs, graph morphisms and rules, and a definition…

Grover's algorithm relies on the superposition and interference of quantum mechanics, which is more efficient than classical computing in specific tasks such as searching an unsorted database. Due to the high complexity of quantum…
LF is a dependent type theory in which many other formal systems can be conveniently embedded. However, correct use of LF relies on nontrivial metatheoretic developments such as proofs of correctness of decision procedures for LF's…
We report on work in progress on automatic procedures for proving properties of programs written in higher-order functional languages. Our approach encodes higher-order programs directly as first-order SMT problems over Horn clauses. It is…
Quantum Hoare Logic (QHL) was introduced in Ying's work to specify and reason about quantum programs. In this paper, we implement a theorem prover for QHL based on Isabelle/HOL. By applying the theorem prover, verifying a quantum program…
A logic for specification and verification is derived from the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. The proofs are performed using the proof assistant Isabelle. Isabelle is generic, supporting several different logics. Isabelle has the…
