Description

Proves (instances of) Shannon's expansion theorem and other relevant facts. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon's_expansion

Synopsis

Boolean functions

type Ternary = SBool -> SBool -> SBool -> SBool Source #

A ternary boolean function

type Binary = SBool -> SBool -> SBool Source #

A binary boolean function

Shannon cofactors

pos :: (SBool -> a) -> a Source #

Positive Shannon cofactor of a boolean function, with respect to its first argument

neg :: (SBool -> a) -> a Source #

Negative Shannon cofactor of a boolean function, with respect to its first argument

Shannon expansion theorem

shannon :: IO ThmResult Source #

Shannon's expansion over the first argument of a function. We have:

>>> shannon
Q.E.D.

shannon2 :: IO ThmResult Source #

Alternative form of Shannon's expansion over the first argument of a function. We have:

>>> shannon2
Q.E.D.

Derivatives

derivative :: Ternary -> Binary Source #

Computing the derivative of a boolean function (boolean difference). Defined as exclusive-or of Shannon cofactors with respect to that variable.

noWiggle :: IO ThmResult Source #

The no-wiggle theorem: If the derivative of a function with respect to a variable is constant False, then that variable does not "wiggle" the function; i.e., any changes to it won't affect the result of the function. In fact, we have an equivalence: The variable only changes the result of the function iff the derivative with respect to it is not False:

>>> noWiggle
Q.E.D.

Universal quantification

universal :: Ternary -> Binary Source #

Universal quantification of a boolean function with respect to a variable. Simply defined as the conjunction of the Shannon cofactors.

univOK :: IO ThmResult Source #

Show that universal quantification is really meaningful: That is, if the universal quantification with respect to a variable is True, then both cofactors are true for those arguments. Of course, this is a trivial theorem if you think about it for a moment, or you can just let SBV prove it for you:

>>> univOK
Q.E.D.

Existential quantification

existential :: Ternary -> Binary Source #

Existential quantification of a boolean function with respect to a variable. Simply defined as the conjunction of the Shannon cofactors.

existsOK :: IO ThmResult Source #

Show that existential quantification is really meaningful: That is, if the existential quantification with respect to a variable is True, then one of the cofactors must be true for those arguments. Again, this is a trivial theorem if you think about it for a moment, but we will just let SBV prove it:

>>> existsOK
Q.E.D.
