Mission-time Linear Temporal Logic (MLTL) is rapidly increasing in popularity as a specification logic, e.g., for runtime verification and model checking, driving a need for a trustworthy tool base for analyzing MLTL. In this work, we…
We present a generic and executable formalization of signature-based algorithms (such as Faug\`ere's $F_5$) for computing Gr\"obner bases, as well as their mathematical background, in the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant. Said algorithms are…
Lighthouse projects such as CompCert, seL4, IronFleet, and DeepSpec have demonstrated that full verification of entire systems is feasible by establishing a refinement relation between an abstract system specification and an executable…
We introduce OpSets, an executable framework for specifying and reasoning about the semantics of replicated datatypes that provide eventual consistency in a distributed system, and for mechanically verifying algorithms that implement these…
This paper presents a formalisation of pGCL in Isabelle/HOL. Using a shallow embedding, we demonstrate close integration with existing automation support. We demonstrate the facility with which the model can be extended to incorporate…
Simulation and formal verification are important complementary techniques necessary in high assurance model-based systems development. In order to support coherent results, it is necessary to provide unifying semantics and automation for…
In Isabelle/HOL, declarative proofs written in the Isar language are widely appreciated for their readability and robustness. However, some users may prefer writing procedural "apply-style" proof scripts since they enable rapid exploration…
We formalise the pi-calculus using the nominal datatype package, based on ideas from the nominal logic by Pitts et al., and demonstrate an implementation in Isabelle/HOL. The purpose is to derive powerful induction rules for the semantics…
Our objective is to formally verify the correctness of the hundreds of expression optimization rules used within the GraalVM compiler. When defining the semantics of a programming language, expressions naturally form abstract syntax trees,…
We formalise and mechanise a construtive, proof theoretic proof of Craig's Interpolation Theorem in Isabelle/HOL. We give all the definitions and lemma statements both formally and informally. We also transcribe informally the formal…
In systems verification we are often concerned with multiple, inter-dependent properties that a program must satisfy. To prove that a program satisfies a given property, the correctness of intermediate states of the program must be…
Modern functional-logic programming languages like Toy or Curry feature non-strict non-deterministic functions that behave under call-time choice semantics. A standard formulation for this semantics is the CRWL logic, that specifies a proof…
We study the problem of verifiable polynomial evaluation in the user-server and multi-party setups. We propose {INTERPOL}, an information-theoretically verifiable algorithm that allows a user to delegate the evaluation of a polynomial to a…
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…
Formal verification of cyber-physical and robotic systems requires that we can accurately model physical quantities that exist in the real-world. The use of explicit units in such quantities can allow a higher degree of rigour, since we can…
We introduce our implementation in HOL Light of the metatheory for G\"odel-L\"ob provability logic (GL), covering soundness and completeness w.r.t. possible world semantics and featuring a prototype of a theorem prover for GL itself. The…
We establish completeness for intuitionistic first-order logic, iFOL, showing that a formula is provable if and only if its embedding into minimal logic, mFOL, is uniformly valid under the Brouwer Heyting Kolmogorov (BHK) semantics, the…
Current approaches for formal verification of algorithms face important limitations. For specification, they cannot express algorithms naturally and concisely, especially for algorithms with states and flexible control flow. For…
The foundations of formal models for epistemic and doxastic logics often rely on certain logical aspects of modal logics such as S4 and S4.2 and their semantics; however, the corresponding mathematical results are often stated in papers or…
We formalize a multivariate quantifier elimination (QE) algorithm in the theorem prover Isabelle/HOL. Our algorithm is complete, in that it is able to reduce any quantified formula in the first-order logic of real arithmetic to a logically…
