From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

The Isabelle theorem prover an interactive theorem proving framework, a successor of the HOL theorem prover.

Example taken from a theory file

subsection{*Inductive definition of the even numbers*}

consts Ev :: "nat set"                    | Ev of type set of naturals
inductive Ev                              | Inductive definition, two cases
intros
ZeroI: "0 : Ev"
Add2I: "n : Ev ==> Suc(Suc n) : Ev"

text{* Using the introduction rules: *}
lemma "Suc(Suc(Suc(Suc 0))) \<in> Ev"     | four belongs to Ev
apply(rule Add2I)                         | proof
apply(rule Add2I)
apply(rule ZeroI)
done

text{*A simple inductive proof: *}        
lemma "n:Ev ==> n+n : Ev"                 | 2n is even if n is even
apply(erule Ev.induct)                    | induction
 apply(simp)                              | simplification
 apply(rule Ev.ZeroI)
apply(simp)
apply(rule Ev.Add2I)
apply(rule Ev.Add2I)
apply(assumption)
done
