subsection‹Propositional Dynamic Logic --- PDL›

text‹\index{PDL|(}
The formulae of PDL are built up from atomic propositions via
negation and conjunction and the two temporal
connectives AX› and EF›\@. Since formulae are essentially
syntax trees, they are naturally modelled as a datatype:%
\footnote{The customary definition of PDL
cite"HarelKT-DL" looks quite different from ours, but the two are easily
shown to be equivalent.}
›

datatype formula = Atom "atom"
                  | Neg formula
                  | And formula formula
                  | AX formula
                  | EF formula

text‹\noindent
This resembles the boolean expression case study in
\S\ref{sec:boolex}.
A validity relation between states and formulae specifies the semantics.
The syntax annotation allows us to write s ⊨ f› instead of
\hbox{valid s f›}. The definition is by recursion over the syntax:
›

primrec valid :: "state  formula  bool"   ("(_  _)" [80,80] 80)
where
"s  Atom a  = (a  L s)" |
"s  Neg f   = (¬(s  f))" |
"s  And f g = (s  f  s  g)" |
"s  AX f    = (t. (s,t)  M  t  f)" |
"s  EF f    = (t. (s,t)  M*  t  f)"

text‹\noindent
The first three equations should be self-explanatory. The temporal formula
termAX f means that termf is true in \emph{A}ll ne\emph{X}t states whereas
termEF f means that there \emph{E}xists some \emph{F}uture state in which termf is
true. The future is expressed via *, the reflexive transitive
closure. Because of reflexivity, the future includes the present.

Now we come to the model checker itself. It maps a formula into the
set of states where the formula is true.  It too is defined by
recursion over the syntax:›

primrec mc :: "formula  state set" where
"mc(Atom a)  = {s. a  L s}" |
"mc(Neg f)   = -mc f" |
"mc(And f g) = mc f  mc g" |
"mc(AX f)    = {s. t. (s,t)  M   t  mc f}" |
"mc(EF f)    = lfp(λT. mc f  (M¯ `` T))"

text‹\noindent
Only the equation for termEF deserves some comments. Remember that the
postfix ¯› and the infix ``› are predefined and denote the
converse of a relation and the image of a set under a relation.  Thus
termM¯ `` T is the set of all predecessors of termT and the least
fixed point (termlfp) of termλT. mc f  M¯ `` T is the least set
termT containing termmc f and all predecessors of termT. If you
find it hard to see that termmc(EF f) contains exactly those states from
which there is a path to a state where termf is true, do not worry --- this
will be proved in a moment.

First we prove monotonicity of the function inside termlfp
in order to make sure it really has a least fixed point.
›

lemma mono_ef: "mono(λT. A  (M¯ `` T))"
apply(rule monoI)
apply blast
done

text‹\noindent
Now we can relate model checking and semantics. For the EF› case we need
a separate lemma:
›

lemma EF_lemma:
  "lfp(λT. A  (M¯ `` T)) = {s. t. (s,t)  M*  t  A}"

txt‹\noindent
The equality is proved in the canonical fashion by proving that each set
includes the other; the inclusion is shown pointwise:
›

apply(rule equalityI)
 apply(rule subsetI)
 apply(simp)(*<*)apply(rename_tac s)(*>*)

txt‹\noindent
Simplification leaves us with the following first subgoal
@{subgoals[display,indent=0,goals_limit=1]}
which is proved by termlfp-induction:
›

 apply(erule lfp_induct_set)
  apply(rule mono_ef)
 apply(simp)
txt‹\noindent
Having disposed of the monotonicity subgoal,
simplification leaves us with the following goal:
\begin{isabelle}
\ {\isadigit{1}}{\isachardot}\ {\isasymAnd}x{\isachardot}\ x\ {\isasymin}\ A\ {\isasymor}\isanewline
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ {\isasymin}\ M{\isasyminverse}\ {\isacharbackquote}{\isacharbackquote}\ {\isacharparenleft}lfp\ {\isacharparenleft}\dots{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasyminter}\ {\isacharbraceleft}x{\isachardot}\ {\isasymexists}t{\isachardot}\ {\isacharparenleft}x{\isacharcomma}\ t{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymin}\ M\isactrlsup {\isacharasterisk}\ {\isasymand}\ t\ {\isasymin}\ A{\isacharbraceright}{\isacharparenright}\isanewline

\end{isabelle}
It is proved by blast›, using the transitivity of 
\isa{M\isactrlsup {\isacharasterisk}}.
›

 apply(blast intro: rtrancl_trans)

txt‹
We now return to the second set inclusion subgoal, which is again proved
pointwise:
›

apply(rule subsetI)
apply(simp, clarify)

txt‹\noindent
After simplification and clarification we are left with
@{subgoals[display,indent=0,goals_limit=1]}
This goal is proved by induction on term(s,t)M*. But since the model
checker works backwards (from termt to terms), we cannot use the
induction theorem @{thm[source]rtrancl_induct}: it works in the
forward direction. Fortunately the converse induction theorem
@{thm[source]converse_rtrancl_induct} already exists:
@{thm[display,margin=60]converse_rtrancl_induct[no_vars]}
It says that if prop(a,b)r* and we know propP b then we can infer
propP a provided each step backwards from a predecessor termz of
termb preserves termP.
›

apply(erule converse_rtrancl_induct)

txt‹\noindent
The base case
@{subgoals[display,indent=0,goals_limit=1]}
is solved by unrolling termlfp once
›

 apply(subst lfp_unfold[OF mono_ef])

txt@{subgoals[display,indent=0,goals_limit=1]}
and disposing of the resulting trivial subgoal automatically:
›

 apply(blast)

txt‹\noindent
The proof of the induction step is identical to the one for the base case:
›

apply(subst lfp_unfold[OF mono_ef])
apply(blast)
done

text‹
The main theorem is proved in the familiar manner: induction followed by
auto› augmented with the lemma as a simplification rule.
›

theorem "mc f = {s. s  f}"
apply(induct_tac f)
apply(auto simp add: EF_lemma)
done

\begin{exercise}
termAX has a dual operator termEN 
(``there exists a next state such that'')%
\footnote{We cannot use the customary EX›: it is reserved
as the \textsc{ascii}-equivalent of ∃›.}
with the intended semantics
@{prop[display]"(s  EN f) = (t. (s,t)  M  t  f)"}
Fortunately, termEN f can already be expressed as a PDL formula. How?

Show that the semantics for termEF satisfies the following recursion equation:
@{prop[display]"(s  EF f) = (s  f | s  EN(EF f))"}
\end{exercise}
