Finite runs on a transition system












0















I want to write a predicate that would state that a transition system cannot have infinite runs from a state s. So consider the transition system is given by R, then the definition I have come up with is:



inductive finite_runs for R where         
"(∀ s'. R s s' ⟶ finite_runs R s') ⟹ finite_runs R s"


Is this the simplest way I can state this fact in Isabelle? In particular, I have browsed the Archive of Formal Proofs (the rewriting and labeled transition theories) but got no simpler solution.

  • I think your first case is actually unnecessary since it is a special case of the second one. If there are no transitions from some state s, then the universal quantifier in the second case is trivially satisfied.

There is Wellfounded.termip in the standard library. I think it should do exactly what you want.



It is basically an abbreviation using Wellfounded.accp, which does the same thing but going ‘backwards’.

  • the r^-^- in where "termip r ≡ accp (r¯¯)" stands for the backward version of r^+^+ I guess?

  • Without checking: No, I think it's simply the converse of the relation (i.e. {(y,x) | (x,y) ∈ R}).

If you mean that finite runs means absence of infinite runs, then you can use the strong-normalization-on predicate SN_on of the AFP-entry Abstract-Rewriting. However your definition permits also runs like



a -> a -> a -> ...



which is not permitted by SN_on.
