 (** In this form, the theorem tells us that the optimizer preserves observable behavior of both terminating and nonterminating programs, but we did not have to do more work than for the case of terminating programs alone.  We merely took the natural inductive definition for terminating executions, made it co-inductive, and applied the appropriate co-induction principle.  Curious readers might experiment with adding command constructs like %\texttt{%#<tt>#if#</tt>#%}%; the same proof should continue working, after the co-induction principle is extended to the new evaluation rules. *)

    Finally, Coq type inference can be more helpful in constructing values in inductive types.  Application of a particular constructor of that type tells Coq what to expect from the arguments, while, for instance, forming a generic pair does not make clear an intention to interpret the value as belonging to a particular recursive type.  This downside can be mitigated to an extent by writing %``%#"#constructor#"#%''% functions for a recursive type, mirroring the definition of the corresponding inductive type.
 
    Reflexive encodings of data types are seen relatively rarely.  As our examples demonstrated, manipulating index values manually can lead to hard-to-read code.  A normal inductive type is generally easier to work with, once someone has gone through the trouble of implementing an induction principle manually with the techniques we studied in Chapter 3.  For small developments, avoiding that kind of coding can justify the use of reflexive data structures.  There are also some useful instances of %\index{co-inductive types}%co-inductive definitions with nested data structures (e.g., lists of values in the co-inductive type) that can only be deconstructed effectively with reflexive encoding of the nested structures. *)

-%\item%#<li># Define a tree analogue of [hlist].  That is, define a parameterized type of binary trees with data at their leaves, and define a type family [htree] indexed by trees.  The structure of an [htree] mirrors its index tree, with the type of each data element (which only occur at leaves) determined by applying a type function to the corresponding element of the index tree.  Define a type standing for all possible paths from the root of a tree to leaves and use it to implement a function [tget] for extracting an element of an [htree] by path.  Define a function [htmap2] for %``%#"#mapping over two trees in parallel.#"#%''%  That is, [htmap2] takes in two [htree]s with the same index tree, and it forms a new [htree] with the same index by applying a binary function pointwise.

-  Repeat this process so that you implement each definition for each of the three definition styles covered in this chapter: inductive, recursive, and index function.#</li>#
-
-%\item%#<li># Write a dependently typed interpreter for a simple programming language with ML-style pattern-matching, using one of the encodings of heterogeneous lists to represent the different branches of a [case] expression.  (There are other ways to represent the same thing, but the point of this exercise is to practice using those heterogeneous list types.)  The object language is defined informally by this grammar:
-  [[
-t ::= bool | t + t
-p ::= x | b | inl p | inr p
-e ::= x | b | inl e | inr e | case e of [p => e]* | _ => e
-]]
-
-  The non-terminal [x] stands for a variable, and [b] stands for a boolean constant.  The production for [case] expressions means that a pattern-match includes zero or more pairs of patterns and expressions, along with a default case.
-
-  Your interpreter should be implemented in the style demonstrated in this chapter.  That is, your definition of expressions should use dependent types and de Bruijn indices to combine syntax and typing rules, such that the type of an expression tells the types of variables that are in scope.  You should implement a simple recursive function translating types [t] to [Set], and your interpreter should produce values in the image of this translation.#</li>#

-(** %\begin{enumerate}%#<ol>#

-%\item%#<li># Implement and prove correct a substitution function for simply typed lambda calculus.  In particular:
-%\begin{enumerate}%#<ol>#
-  %\item%#<li># Define a datatype [type] of lambda types, including just booleans and function types.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Define a type family [exp : list type -> type -> Type] of lambda expressions, including boolean constants, variables, and function application and abstraction.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Implement a definitional interpreter for [exp]s, by way of a recursive function over expressions and substitutions for free variables, like in the related example from the last chapter.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Implement a function [subst : forall t' ts t, exp (t' :: ts) t -> exp ts t' -> exp ts t].  The type of the first expression indicates that its most recently bound free variable has type [t'].  The second expression also has type [t'], and the job of [subst] is to substitute the second expression for every occurrence of the %``%#"#first#"#%''% variable of the first expression.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Prove that [subst] preserves program meanings.  That is, prove
-  [[
-forall t' ts t (e : exp (t' :: ts) t) (e' : exp ts t') (s : hlist typeDenote ts),
-  expDenote (subst e e') s = expDenote e (expDenote e' s ::: s)
-  ]]
-  where [:::] is an infix operator for heterogeneous %``%#"#cons#"#%''% that is defined in the book's [DepList] module.#</li>#
-#</ol>#%\end{enumerate}%
-  The material presented up to this point should be sufficient to enable a good solution of this exercise, with enough ingenuity.  If you get stuck, it may be helpful to use the following structure.  None of these elements need to appear in your solution, but we can at least guarantee that there is a reasonable solution based on them.
-%\begin{enumerate}%#<ol>#
-  %\item%#<li># The [DepList] module will be useful.  You can get the standard dependent list definitions there, instead of copying-and-pasting from the last chapter.  It is worth reading the source for that module over, since it defines some new helpful functions and notations that we did not use last chapter.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Define a recursive function [liftVar : forall ts1 ts2 t t', member t (ts1 ++ ts2) -> member t (ts1 ++ t' :: ts2)].  This function should %``%#"#lift#"#%''% a de Bruijn variable so that its type refers to a new variable inserted somewhere in the index list.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Define a recursive function [lift' : forall ts t (e : exp ts t) ts1 ts2 t', ts = ts1 ++ ts2 -> exp (ts1 ++ t' :: ts2) t] which performs a similar lifting on an [exp].  The convoluted type is to get around restrictions on [match] annotations.  We delay %``%#"#realizing#"#%''% that the first index of [e] is built with list concatenation until after a dependent [match], and the new explicit proof argument must be used to cast some terms that come up in the [match] body.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Define a function [lift : forall ts t t', exp ts t -> exp (t' :: ts) t], which handles simpler top-level lifts.  This should be an easy one-liner based on [lift'].#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Define a recursive function [substVar : forall ts1 ts2 t t', member t (ts1 ++ t' :: ts2) -> (t' = t) + member t (ts1 ++ ts2)].  This function is the workhorse behind substitution applied to a variable.  It returns [inl] to indicate that the variable we pass to it is the variable that we are substituting for, and it returns [inr] to indicate that the variable we are examining is %\textit{%#<i>#not#</i>#%}% the one we are substituting for.  In the first case, we get a proof that the necessary typing relationship holds, and, in the second case, we get the original variable modified to reflect the removal of the substitutee from the typing context.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Define a recursive function [subst' : forall ts t (e : exp ts t) ts1 t' ts2, ts = ts1 ++ t' :: ts2 -> exp (ts1 ++ ts2) t' -> exp (ts1 ++ ts2) t].  This is the workhorse of substitution in expressions, employing the same proof-passing trick as for [lift'].  You will probably want to use [lift] somewhere in the definition of [subst'].#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Now [subst] should be a one-liner, defined in terms of [subst'].#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Prove a correctness theorem for each auxiliary function, leading up to the proof of [subst] correctness.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># All of the reasoning about equality proofs in these theorems follows a regular pattern.  If you have an equality proof that you want to replace with [refl_equal] somehow, run [generalize] on that proof variable.  Your goal is to get to the point where you can [rewrite] with the original proof to change the type of the generalized version.  To avoid type errors (the infamous %``%#"#second-order unification#"#%''% failure messages), it will be helpful to run [generalize] on other pieces of the proof context that mention the equality's lefthand side.  You might also want to use [generalize dependent], which generalizes not just one variable but also all variables whose types depend on it.  [generalize dependent] has the sometimes-helpful property of removing from the context all variables that it generalizes.  Once you do manage the mind-bending trick of using the equality proof to rewrite its own type, you will be able to rewrite with [UIP_refl].#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># The [ext_eq] axiom from the end of this chapter is available in the Coq standard library as [functional_extensionality] in module [FunctionalExtensionality], and you will probably want to use it in the [lift'] and [subst'] correctness proofs.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># The [change] tactic should come in handy in the proofs about [lift] and [subst], where you want to introduce %``%#"#extraneous#"#%''% list concatenations with [nil] to match the forms of earlier theorems.#</li>#
-  %\item%#<li># Be careful about [destruct]ing a term %``%#"#too early.#"#%''%  You can use [generalize] on proof terms to bring into the proof context any important propositions about the term.  Then, when you [destruct] the term, it is updated in the extra propositions, too.  The [case_eq] tactic is another alternative to this approach, based on saving an equality between the original term and its new form.#</li>#

+(** %\begin{enumerate}%#<ol>#
+
+%\item%#<li># Define an inductive type [truth] with three constructors, [Yes], [No], and [Maybe].  [Yes] stands for certain truth, [No] for certain falsehood, and [Maybe] for an unknown situation.  Define %``%#"#not,#"#%''% %``%#"#and,#"#%''% and %``%#"#or#"#%''% for this replacement boolean algebra.  Prove that your implementation of %``%#"#and#"#%''% is commutative and distributes over your implementation of %``%#"#or.#"#%''%#</li>#
+
+%\item%#<li># Define an inductive type [slist] that implements lists with support for constant-time concatenation.  This type should be polymorphic in a choice of type for data values in lists.  The type [slist] should have three constructors, for empty lists, singleton lists, and concatenation.  Define a function [flatten] that converts [slist]s to [list]s.  (You will want to run [Require Import] %\coqdocconstructor{%#<tt>#List#</tt>#%}%[.] to bring list definitions into scope.)  Finally, prove that [flatten] distributes over concatenation, where the two sides of your quantified equality will use the [slist] and [list] versions of concatenation, as appropriate.  Recall from Chapter 2 that the infix operator [++] is syntactic sugar for the [list] concatenation function [app].#</li>#
+
+%\item%#<li># Modify the first example language of Chapter 2 to include variables, where variables are represented with [nat].  Extend the syntax and semantics of expressions to accommodate the change.  Your new [expDenote] function should take as a new extra first argument a value of type [var -> nat], where [var] is a synonym for naturals-as-variables, and the function assigns a value to each variable.  Define a constant folding function which does a bottom-up pass over an expression, at each stage replacing every binary operation on constants with an equivalent constant.  Prove that constant folding preserves the meanings of expressions.#</li>#
+
+%\item%#<li># Reimplement the second example language of Chapter 2 to use mutually inductive types instead of dependent types.  That is, define two separate (non-dependent) inductive types [nat_exp] and [bool_exp] for expressions of the two different types, rather than a single indexed type.  To keep things simple, you may consider only the binary operators that take naturals as operands.  Add natural number variables to the language, as in the last exercise, and add an %``%#"#if#"#%''% expression form taking as arguments one boolean expression and two natural number expressions.  Define semantics and constant-folding functions for this new language.  Your constant folding should simplify not just binary operations (returning naturals or booleans) with known arguments, but also %``%#"#if#"#%''% expressions with known values for their test expressions but possibly undetermined %``%#"#then#"#%''% and %``%#"#else#"#%''% cases.  Prove that constant-folding a natural number expression preserves its meaning.#</li>#
+
+%\item%#<li># Define mutually inductive types of even and odd natural numbers, such that any natural number is isomorphic to a value of one of the two types.  (This problem does not ask you to prove that correspondence, though some interpretations of the task may be interesting exercises.)  Write a function that computes the sum of two even numbers, such that the function type guarantees that the output is even as well.  Prove that this function is commutative.#</li>#
+
+%\item%#<li># Using a reflexive inductive definition, define a type [nat_tree] of infinitary trees, with natural numbers at their leaves and a countable infinity of new trees branching out of each internal node.  Define a function [increment] that increments the number in every leaf of a [nat_tree].  Define a function [leapfrog] over a natural [i] and a tree [nt].  [leapfrog] should recurse into the [i]th child of [nt], the [i+1]st child of that node, the [i+2]nd child of the next node, and so on, until reaching a leaf, in which case [leapfrog] should return the number at that leaf.  Prove that the result of any call to [leapfrog] is incremented by one by calling [increment] on the tree.#</li>#
+
+%\item%#<li># Define a type of trees of trees of trees of (repeat to infinity).  That is, define an inductive type [trexp], whose members are either base cases containing natural numbers or binary trees of [trexp]s.  Base your definition on a parameterized binary tree type [btree] that you will also define, so that [trexp] is defined as a nested inductive type.  Define a function [total] that sums all of the naturals at the leaves of a [trexp].  Define a function [increment] that increments every leaf of a [trexp] by one.  Prove that, for all [tr], [total (increment tr) >= total tr].  On the way to finishing this proof, you will probably want to prove a lemma and add it as a hint using the syntax [Hint Resolve name_of_lemma.].#</li>#
+
+%\item%#<li># Prove discrimination and injectivity theorems for the [nat_btree] type defined earlier in this chapter.  In particular, without using the tactics [discriminate], [injection], or [congruence], prove that no leaf equals any node, and prove that two equal nodes carry the same natural number.#</li>#

+  #</ol> </li>#%\end{enumerate}%
+  A few hints that may be helpful:
+  %\begin{enumerate}%#<ol>#
+    %\item%#<li># One easy way of defining variable assignments and typings is to define both as instances of a polymorphic map type.  The map type at parameter [T] can be defined to be the type of arbitrary functions from variables to [T].  A helpful function for implementing insertion into such a functional map is [eq_nat_dec], which you can make available with [Require Import Arith.].  [eq_nat_dec] has a dependent type that tells you that it makes accurate decisions on whether two natural numbers are equal, but you can use it as if it returned a boolean, e.g., [if eq_nat_dec n m then E1 else E2].#</li>#
+    %\item%#<li># If you follow the last hint, you may find yourself writing a proof that involves an expression with [eq_nat_dec] that you would like to simplify.  Running [destruct] on the particular call to [eq_nat_dec] should do the trick.  You can automate this advice with a piece of Ltac: [[
+match goal with
+  | [ |- context[eq_nat_dec ?X ?Y] ] => destruct (eq_nat_dec X Y)
+end
+]]
+    #</li>#
+    %\item%#<li># You probably do not want to use an inductive definition for compatibility of variable assignments and typings.#</li>#
+    %\item%#<li># The [CpdtTactics] module from this book contains a variant [crush'] of [crush].  [crush'] takes two arguments.  The first argument is a list of lemmas and other functions to be tried automatically in %``%#"#forward reasoning#"#%''% style, where we add new facts without being sure yet that they link into a proof of the conclusion.  The second argument is a list of predicates on which inversion should be attempted automatically.  For instance, running [crush' (lemma1, lemma2) pred] will search for chances to apply [lemma1] and [lemma2] to hypotheses that are already available, adding the new concluded fact if suitable hypotheses can be found.  Inversion will be attempted on any hypothesis using [pred], but only those inversions that narrow the field of possibilities to one possible rule will be kept.  The format of the list arguments to [crush'] is that you can pass an empty list as [tt], a singleton list as the unadorned single element, and a multiple-element list as a tuple of the elements.#</li>#
+    %\item%#<li># If you want [crush'] to apply polymorphic lemmas, you may have to do a little extra work, if the type parameter is not a free variable of your proof context (so that [crush'] does not know to try it).  For instance, if you define a polymorphic map insert function [assign] of some type [forall T : Set, ...], and you want particular applications of [assign] added automatically with type parameter [U], you would need to include [assign] in the lemma list as [assign U] (if you have implicit arguments off) or [assign (T := U)] or [@assign U] (if you have implicit arguments on).#</li>#

To avoid type errors (the infamous %``%#"#second-order unification#"#%''% failure messages), it will be helpful to run [generalize] on other pieces of the proof context that mention the equality's lefthand side.  You might also want to use [generalize dependent], which generalizes not just one variable but also all variables whose types depend on it.  [generalize dependent] has the sometimes-helpful property of removing from the context all variables that it generalizes.

+
+  For the purposes of this exercise, a group is a set [G], a binary function [f] over [G], an identity element [e] of [G], and a unary inverse function [i] for [G].  The following laws define correct choices of these parameters.  We follow standard practice in algebra, where all variables that we mention are quantified universally implicitly at the start of a fact.

There is a wrinkle: every theorem or lemma must be proved by either a single call to [crush] or a single call to [eauto]!  It is allowed to pass numeric arguments to [eauto], where appropriate.  Recall that a numeric argument sets the depth of proof search, where 5 is the default.  Lower values can speed up execution when a proof exists within the bound.  Higher values may be necessary to find more involved proofs.

+
+   The next chapter introduces more details of programming in Ltac, but here is a quick teaser that will be useful in this problem.  Include the following hint command before you start proving the main theorems of this exercise: *)
+
+Hint Extern 100 (_ = _) =>

+    | [ _ : True |- _ ] => fail 1
+    | _ => assert True by constructor; eapply mult_both
+  end.
+
+(** This hint has the effect of applying [mult_both] %\emph{%#<i>#at most once#</i>#%}% during a proof.  After the next chapter, it should be clear why the hint has that effect, but for now treat it as a useful black box.  Simply using [Hint Resolve mult_both] would increase proof search time unacceptably, because there are just too many ways to use [mult_both] repeatedly within a proof.
+
+   The order of the theorems above is itself a meta-level hint, since I found that order to work well for allowing the use of earlier theorems as hints in the proofs of later theorems.
+
+   The key to this problem is coming up with further lemmas like [mult_both] that formalize common patterns of reasoning in algebraic proofs.  These lemmas need to be more than sound: they must also fit well with the way that [eauto] does proof search.  For instance, if we had given [mult_both] a traditional statement, we probably would have avoided %``%#"#pointless#"#%''% equalities like [a = b], which could be avoided simply by replacing all occurrences of [b] with [a].  However, the resulting theorem would not work as well with automated proof search!  Every additional hint you come up with should be registered with [Hint Resolve], so that the lemma statement needs to be in a form that [eauto] understands %``%#"#natively.#"#%''%
+
+   I recommend testing a few simple rules corresponding to common steps in algebraic proofs.  You can apply them manually with any tactics you like (e.g., [apply] or [eapply]) to figure out what approaches work, and then switch to [eauto] once you have the full set of hints.
+
+   I also proved a few hint lemmas tailored to particular theorems, but which do not give common algebraic simplification rules.  You will probably want to use some, too, in cases where [eauto] does not find a proof within a reasonable amount of time.  In total, beside the main theorems to be proved, my sample solution includes 6 lemmas, with a mix of the two kinds of lemmas.  You may use more in your solution, but I suggest trying to minimize the number.

A successful invocation should add a new hypothesis of the negation of the theorem (guaranteeing that the tactic has made a sound decision about falsehood).

+
+   The idea in this exercise is to disprove a quantified formula by finding instantiations for the quantifiers that make it manifestly false.  Recall the [specialize] tactic for specializing a hypothesis to particular quantifier instantiations.  When you have instantiated quantifiers fully, [discriminate] is a good choice to derive a contradiction.  (It at least works for the three examples above and is smart enough for this exercise's purposes.)  The [type of] Ltac construct may be useful to analyze the type of a hypothesis to choose how to instantiate its quantifiers.

+(** Recall that [exists] formulas are desugared to uses of the [ex] inductive family.  In particular, a pattern like the following can be used to extract the domain of an [exists] quantifier into variable [T]:
+
+[| ]#[#%[%[ |- ex (][A := ?][T) _ ]#]#%]%[ => ...]
+
+    The [equate] tactic used as an example in this chapter will probably be useful, to unify two terms, for instance if the first is a unification variable whose value you want to set.
+[[
+Ltac equate E1 E2 := let H := fresh in
+  assert (H : E1 = E2) by reflexivity; clear H.
+]]
+
+    Finally, there are some minor complications surrounding overloading of the [*] operator for both numeric multiplication and Cartesian product for sets (i.e., pair types).  To ensure that an Ltac pattern is using the type version, write it like this:
+
+[| (?T1 * ?T2)%][type => ...]#</li>#
+
+%\item%#<li># An exercise in the last chapter dealt with automating proofs about rings using [eauto], where we must prove some odd-looking theorems to push proof search in a direction where unification does all the work.  Algebraic proofs consist mostly of rewriting in equations, so we might hope that the [autorewrite] tactic would yield more natural automated proofs.  Indeed, consider this example within the same formulation of ring theory that we dealt with last chapter, where each of the three axioms has been added to the rewrite hint database [cpdt] using [Hint Rewrite]:
+[[
+Theorem test1 : forall a b, a * b * i b = a.
+  intros; autorewrite with cpdt; reflexivity.
+Qed.
+]]
+
+So far so good.  However, consider this further example:
+[[
+Theorem test2 : forall a, a * e * i a * i e = e.
+  intros; autorewrite with cpdt.
+]]
+
+The goal is merely reduced to [a * (][i a * i e) = e], which of course [reflexivity] cannot prove.  The essential problem is that [autorewrite] does not do backtracking search.  Instead, it follows a %``%#"#greedy#"#%''% approach, at each stage choosing a rewrite to perform and then never allowing that rewrite to be undone.  An early mistake can doom the whole process.
+
+The task in this problem is to use Ltac to implement a backtracking version of [autorewrite] that works much like [eauto], in that its inputs are a database of hint lemmas and a bound on search depth.  Here our search trees will have uses of [rewrite] at their nodes, rather than uses of [eapply] as in the case of [eauto], and proofs must be finished by [reflexivity].
+
+An invocation to the tactic to prove [test2] might look like this:
+[[
+  rewriter (right_identity, (right_inverse, tt)) 3.
+]]
+
+The first argument gives the set of lemmas to consider, as a kind of list encoded with pair types.  Such a format cannot be analyzed directly by Gallina programs, but Ltac allows us much more freedom to deconstruct syntax.  For example, to case analyze such a list found in a variable [x], we need only write:
+[[
+  match x with
+    | (?lemma, ?more) => ...
+  end
+]]
+
+In the body of the case analysis, [lemma] will be bound to the first lemma, and [more] will be bound to the remaining lemmas.  There is no need to consider a case for [tt], our stand-in for [nil].  This is because lack of any matching pattern will trigger failure, which is exactly the outcome we would like upon reaching the end of the lemma list without finding one that applies.  The tactic will fail, triggering backtracking to some previous [match].
+
+There are different kinds of backtracking, corresponding to different sorts of decisions to be made.  The examples considered above can be handled with backtracking that only reconsiders decisions about the order in which to apply rewriting lemmas.  A full-credit solution need only handle that kind of backtracking, considering all rewriting sequences up to the length bound passed to your tactic.  A good test of this level of applicability is to prove both [test1] and [test2] above.  However, some theorems could only be proved using a smarter tactic that considers not only order of rewriting lemma uses, but also choice of arguments to the lemmas.  That is, at some points in a proof, the same lemma may apply at multiple places within the goal formula, and some choices may lead to stuck proof states while others lead to success.  For an extra challenge (without any impact on the grade for the problem), you might try beefing up your tactic to do backtracking on argument choice, too.#</li>#

+
+%\item%#<li># Implement a reflective procedure for normalizing systems of linear equations over rational numbers.  In particular, the tactic should identify all hypotheses that are linear equations over rationals where the equation righthand sides are constants.  It should normalize each hypothesis to have a lefthand side that is a sum of products of constants and variables, with no variable appearing multiple times.  Then, your tactic should add together all of these equations to form a single new equation, possibly clearing the original equations.  Some coefficients may cancel in the addition, reducing the number of variables that appear.
+
+To work with rational numbers, import module [QArith] and use [Local Open Scope Q_scope].  All of the usual arithmetic operator notations will then work with rationals, and there are shorthands for constants 0 and 1.  Other rationals must be written as [num # den] for numerator [num] and denominator [den].  Use the infix operator [==] in place of [=], to deal with different ways of expressing the same number as a fraction.  For instance, a theorem and proof like this one should work with your tactic:
+[[
+  Theorem t2 : forall x y z, (2 # 1) * (x - (3 # 2) * y) == 15 # 1
+    -> z + (8 # 1) * x == 20 # 1

+
+  Your solution can work in any way that involves reifying syntax and doing most calculation with a Gallina function.  These hints outline a particular possible solution.  Throughout, the [ring] tactic will be helpful for proving many simple facts about rationals, and tactics like [rewrite] are correctly overloaded to work with rational equality [==].

+  %\item%#<li># Write a tactic [findVarsHyps] to search through all equalities on rationals in the context, recursing through addition, subtraction, and multiplication to find the list of expressions that should be treated as variables.  This list should be suitable as an argument to [expDenote] and [eqsDenote], associating a [Q] value to each natural number that stands for a variable.#</li>#

-%\item%#<li># Define an inductive type [slist] that implements lists with support for constant-time concatenation.  This type should be polymorphic in a choice of type for data values in lists.  The type [slist] should have three constructors, for empty lists, singleton lists, and concatenation.  Define a function [flatten] that converts [slist]s to [list]s.  (You will want to run [Require Import] %\coqdocconstructor{%#<tt>#List#</tt>#%}%[.] to bring list definitions into scope.)  Finally, prove that [flatten] distributes over concatenation, where the two sides of your quantified equality will use the [slist] and [list] versions of concatenation, as appropriate.  Recall from Chapter 2 that the infix operator [++] is syntactic sugar for the [list] concatenation function [app].#</li>#
-
-%\item%#<li># $\star$ Modify the first example language of Chapter 2 to include variables, where variables are represented with [nat].  Extend the syntax and semantics of expressions to accommodate the change.  Your new [expDenote] function should take as a new extra first argument a value of type [var -> nat], where [var] is a synonym for naturals-as-variables, and the function assigns a value to each variable.  Define a constant folding function which does a bottom-up pass over an expression, at each stage replacing every binary operation on constants with an equivalent constant.  Prove that constant folding preserves the meanings of expressions.#</li>#
-
-%\item%#<li># $\star$ Reimplement the second example language of Chapter 2 to use mutually inductive types instead of dependent types.  That is, define two separate (non-dependent) inductive types [nat_exp] and [bool_exp] for expressions of the two different types, rather than a single indexed type.  To keep things simple, you may consider only the binary operators that take naturals as operands.  Add natural number variables to the language, as in the last exercise, and add an %``%#"#if#"#%''% expression form taking as arguments one boolean expression and two natural number expressions.  Define semantics and constant-folding functions for this new language.  Your constant folding should simplify not just binary operations (returning naturals or booleans) with known arguments, but also %``%#"#if#"#%''% expressions with known values for their test expressions but possibly undetermined %``%#"#then#"#%''% and %``%#"#else#"#%''% cases.  Prove that constant-folding a natural number expression preserves its meaning.#</li>#
-
-%\item%#<li># Define mutually inductive types of even and odd natural numbers, such that any natural number is isomorphic to a value of one of the two types.  (This problem does not ask you to prove that correspondence, though some interpretations of the task may be interesting exercises.)  Write a function that computes the sum of two even numbers, such that the function type guarantees that the output is even as well.  Prove that this function is commutative.#</li>#
-
-%\item%#<li># Using a reflexive inductive definition, define a type [nat_tree] of infinitary trees, with natural numbers at their leaves and a countable infinity of new trees branching out of each internal node.  Define a function [increment] that increments the number in every leaf of a [nat_tree].  Define a function [leapfrog] over a natural [i] and a tree [nt].  [leapfrog] should recurse into the [i]th child of [nt], the [i+1]st child of that node, the [i+2]nd child of the next node, and so on, until reaching a leaf, in which case [leapfrog] should return the number at that leaf.  Prove that the result of any call to [leapfrog] is incremented by one by calling [increment] on the tree.#</li>#
-
-%\item%#<li># Define a type of trees of trees of trees of (repeat to infinity).  That is, define an inductive type [trexp], whose members are either base cases containing natural numbers or binary trees of [trexp]s.  Base your definition on a parameterized binary tree type [btree] that you will also define, so that [trexp] is defined as a nested inductive type.  Define a function [total] that sums all of the naturals at the leaves of a [trexp].  Define a function [increment] that increments every leaf of a [trexp] by one.  Prove that, for all [tr], [total (increment tr) >= total tr].  On the way to finishing this proof, you will probably want to prove a lemma and add it as a hint using the syntax [Hint Resolve name_of_lemma.].#</li>#

-%\item%#<li># $\star$ Prove discrimination and injectivity theorems for the [nat_btree] type defined earlier in this chapter.  In particular, without using the tactics [discriminate], [injection], or [congruence], prove that no leaf equals any node, and prove that two equal nodes carry the same natural number.#</li>#

 Coq is a very complex system, with many different commands driven more by pragmatic concerns than by any overarching aesthetic principle.  When I use some construct for the first time, I try to give a one-sentence intuition for what it accomplishes, but I leave the details to the Coq reference manual%~\cite{CoqManual}%.  I expect that readers interested in complete understandings will be consulting that manual frequently; in that sense, this book is not meant to be completely standalone.  I often use constructs in code snippets without first introducing them at all, but explanations should always follow in the prose paragraphs immediately after the offending snippets.
 
-Most chapters end with suggested exercises.  Some exercises marked with %``$\star$''%#"star"# are especially difficult or deal with especially advanced subjects that the reader may not wish to master on a first reading.
+Previous versions of the book included some suggested exercises at the ends of chapters.  Since then, I have decided to remove the exercises and focus on the main book exposition.  Especially in the domain of interactive theorem proving, keeping exercises at the proper difficulty level is a lot of work, I have learned!  My advice to readers is to learn to use Coq by getting started applying it in their own real projects, rather than focusing on artificial exercises.

The following laws define correct choices of these parameters.  We follow standard practice in algebra, where all variables that we mention are quantified universally implicitly at the start of a fact.

-(** That is, we know some equality [a = b], which is the third hypothesis above.  We derive a further equality by multiplying both sides by [c], to yield [a * c = b * c].

-
-   The next chapter introduces more details of programming in Ltac, but here is a quick teaser that will be useful in this problem.  Include the following hint command before you start proving the main theorems of this exercise: *)
-
-Hint Extern 100 (_ = _) =>
-  match goal with
-    | [ _ : True |- _ ] => fail 1
-    | _ => assert True by constructor; eapply mult_both
-  end.
-
-(** This hint has the effect of applying [mult_both] %\emph{%#<i>#at most once#</i>#%}% during a proof.  After the next chapter, it should be clear why the hint has that effect, but for now treat it as a useful black box.  Simply using [Hint Resolve mult_both] would increase proof search time unacceptably, because there are just too many ways to use [mult_both] repeatedly within a proof.
-
-   The order of the theorems above is itself a meta-level hint, since I found that order to work well for allowing the use of earlier theorems as hints in the proofs of later theorems.
-
-   The key to this problem is coming up with further lemmas like [mult_both] that formalize common patterns of reasoning in algebraic proofs.  These lemmas need to be more than sound: they must also fit well with the way that [eauto] does proof search.  For instance, if we had given [mult_both] a traditional statement, we probably would have avoided %``%#"#pointless#"#%''% equalities like [a = b], which could be avoided simply by replacing all occurrences of [b] with [a].  However, the resulting theorem would not work as well with automated proof search!  Every additional hint you come up with should be registered with [Hint Resolve], so that the lemma statement needs to be in a form that [eauto] understands %``%#"#natively.#"#%''%
-
-   I recommend testing a few simple rules corresponding to common steps in algebraic proofs.  You can apply them manually with any tactics you like (e.g., [apply] or [eapply]) to figure out what approaches work, and then switch to [eauto] once you have the full set of hints.
-
-   I also proved a few hint lemmas tailored to particular theorems, but which do not give common algebraic simplification rules.  You will probably want to use some, too, in cases where [eauto] does not find a proof within a reasonable amount of time.  In total, beside the main theorems to be proved, my sample solution includes 6 lemmas, with a mix of the two kinds of lemmas.  You may use more in your solution, but I suggest trying to minimize the number.

-(** The task in this exercise is to write a tactic that disproves these and many other related %``%#"#theorems#"#%''% about lists.  Your tactic should follow a simple brute-force enumeration strategy, considering all [list bool] values with length up to some bound given by the user, as a [nat] argument to the tactic.  A successful invocation should add a new hypothesis of the negation of the theorem (guaranteeing that the tactic has made a sound decision about falsehood).
-
-   A few hints: A good starting point is to pattern-match the conclusion formula and use the [assert] tactic on its negation.  An [assert] invocation may include a [by] clause to specify a tactic to use to prove the assertion.
-
-   The idea in this exercise is to disprove a quantified formula by finding instantiations for the quantifiers that make it manifestly false.  Recall the [specialize] tactic for specializing a hypothesis to particular quantifier instantiations.  When you have instantiated quantifiers fully, [discriminate] is a good choice to derive a contradiction.  (It at least works for the three examples above and is smart enough for this exercise's purposes.)  The [type of] Ltac construct may be useful to analyze the type of a hypothesis to choose how to instantiate its quantifiers.
-
-   To enumerate all boolean lists up to a certain length, it will be helpful to write a recursive tactic in continuation-passing style, where the continuation is meant to be called on each candidate list.
-
-   Remember that arguments to Ltac functions may not be type-checked in contexts large enough to allow usual implicit argument inference, so instead of [nil] it will be useful to write [@][nil bool], which specifies the usually implicit argument explicitly.

-   %\item%#<li># Some theorems involving existential quantifiers are easy to prove with [eauto]. *)
-
-Theorem test1 : exists x, x = 0.
-  eauto.
-Qed.
-
-(** Others are harder.  The problem with the next theorem is that the existentially quantified variable does not appear in the rest of the theorem, so [eauto] has no way to deduce its value.  However, we know that we had might as well instantiate that variable to [tt], the only value of type [unit]. *)

-(* begin hide *)

-(* end hide *)

-(* begin hide *)
-  eauto.
-Abort.
-(* end hide *)
-
-(** The task in this problem is to write a tactic that preprocesses such goals so that [eauto] can finish them.  Your tactic should serve as a complete proof of each of the above examples, along with the wide class of similar examples.  The key smarts that your tactic will bring are: first, it introduces separate unification variables for all the %``%#"#leaf types#"#%''% of compound types built out of pairs; and second, leaf unification variables of type [unit] are simply replaced by [tt].
-
-   A few hints: The following tactic is more convenient than direct use of the built-in tactic [evar], for generation of new unification variables: *)
-
-Ltac makeEvar T k := let x := fresh in
-  evar (x : T); let y := eval unfold x in x in clear x; k y.
-
-(** remove printing exists *)
-
-(** This is a continuation-passing style tactic.  For instance, when the goal begins with existential quantification over a type [T], the following tactic invocation will create a new unification variable to use as the quantifier instantiation:
-
-[makeEvar T ltac:(][fun x => exists x)] *)
-
-(** printing exists $\exists$ *)
-
-(** Recall that [exists] formulas are desugared to uses of the [ex] inductive family.  In particular, a pattern like the following can be used to extract the domain of an [exists] quantifier into variable [T]:
-
-[| ]#[#%[%[ |- ex (][A := ?][T) _ ]#]#%]%[ => ...]
-
-    The [equate] tactic used as an example in this chapter will probably be useful, to unify two terms, for instance if the first is a unification variable whose value you want to set.
-[[
-Ltac equate E1 E2 := let H := fresh in
-  assert (H : E1 = E2) by reflexivity; clear H.
-]]
-
-    Finally, there are some minor complications surrounding overloading of the [*] operator for both numeric multiplication and Cartesian product for sets (i.e., pair types).  To ensure that an Ltac pattern is using the type version, write it like this:
-
-[| (?T1 * ?T2)%][type => ...]#</li>#
-
-%\item%#<li># An exercise in the last chapter dealt with automating proofs about rings using [eauto], where we must prove some odd-looking theorems to push proof search in a direction where unification does all the work.  Algebraic proofs consist mostly of rewriting in equations, so we might hope that the [autorewrite] tactic would yield more natural automated proofs.  Indeed, consider this example within the same formulation of ring theory that we dealt with last chapter, where each of the three axioms has been added to the rewrite hint database [cpdt] using [Hint Rewrite]:
-[[
-Theorem test1 : forall a b, a * b * i b = a.
-  intros; autorewrite with cpdt; reflexivity.
-Qed.
-]]
-
-So far so good.  However, consider this further example:
-[[
-Theorem test2 : forall a, a * e * i a * i e = e.
-  intros; autorewrite with cpdt.
-]]
-
-The goal is merely reduced to [a * (][i a * i e) = e], which of course [reflexivity] cannot prove.  The essential problem is that [autorewrite] does not do backtracking search.  Instead, it follows a %``%#"#greedy#"#%''% approach, at each stage choosing a rewrite to perform and then never allowing that rewrite to be undone.  An early mistake can doom the whole process.
-
-The task in this problem is to use Ltac to implement a backtracking version of [autorewrite] that works much like [eauto], in that its inputs are a database of hint lemmas and a bound on search depth.  Here our search trees will have uses of [rewrite] at their nodes, rather than uses of [eapply] as in the case of [eauto], and proofs must be finished by [reflexivity].
-
-An invocation to the tactic to prove [test2] might look like this:
-[[
-  rewriter (right_identity, (right_inverse, tt)) 3.
-]]
-
-The first argument gives the set of lemmas to consider, as a kind of list encoded with pair types.  Such a format cannot be analyzed directly by Gallina programs, but Ltac allows us much more freedom to deconstruct syntax.  For example, to case analyze such a list found in a variable [x], we need only write:
-[[
-  match x with
-    | (?lemma, ?more) => ...
-  end
-]]
-
-In the body of the case analysis, [lemma] will be bound to the first lemma, and [more] will be bound to the remaining lemmas.  There is no need to consider a case for [tt], our stand-in for [nil].  This is because lack of any matching pattern will trigger failure, which is exactly the outcome we would like upon reaching the end of the lemma list without finding one that applies.  The tactic will fail, triggering backtracking to some previous [match].
-
-There are different kinds of backtracking, corresponding to different sorts of decisions to be made.  The examples considered above can be handled with backtracking that only reconsiders decisions about the order in which to apply rewriting lemmas.  A full-credit solution need only handle that kind of backtracking, considering all rewriting sequences up to the length bound passed to your tactic.  A good test of this level of applicability is to prove both [test1] and [test2] above.  However, some theorems could only be proved using a smarter tactic that considers not only order of rewriting lemma uses, but also choice of arguments to the lemmas.  That is, at some points in a proof, the same lemma may apply at multiple places within the goal formula, and some choices may lead to stuck proof states while others lead to success.  For an extra challenge (without any impact on the grade for the problem), you might try beefing up your tactic to do backtracking on argument choice, too.#</li>#

-  A few hints that may be helpful:
-  %\begin{enumerate}%#<ol>#
-    %\item%#<li># One easy way of defining variable assignments and typings is to define both as instances of a polymorphic map type.  The map type at parameter [T] can be defined to be the type of arbitrary functions from variables to [T].  A helpful function for implementing insertion into such a functional map is [eq_nat_dec], which you can make available with [Require Import Arith.].  [eq_nat_dec] has a dependent type that tells you that it makes accurate decisions on whether two natural numbers are equal, but you can use it as if it returned a boolean, e.g., [if eq_nat_dec n m then E1 else E2].#</li>#
-    %\item%#<li># If you follow the last hint, you may find yourself writing a proof that involves an expression with [eq_nat_dec] that you would like to simplify.  Running [destruct] on the particular call to [eq_nat_dec] should do the trick.  You can automate this advice with a piece of Ltac: [[
-match goal with
-  | [ |- context[eq_nat_dec ?X ?Y] ] => destruct (eq_nat_dec X Y)
-end
-]]
-    #</li>#
-    %\item%#<li># You probably do not want to use an inductive definition for compatibility of variable assignments and typings.#</li>#
-    %\item%#<li># The [CpdtTactics] module from this book contains a variant [crush'] of [crush].  [crush'] takes two arguments.  The first argument is a list of lemmas and other functions to be tried automatically in %``%#"#forward reasoning#"#%''% style, where we add new facts without being sure yet that they link into a proof of the conclusion.  The second argument is a list of predicates on which inversion should be attempted automatically.  For instance, running [crush' (lemma1, lemma2) pred] will search for chances to apply [lemma1] and [lemma2] to hypotheses that are already available, adding the new concluded fact if suitable hypotheses can be found.  Inversion will be attempted on any hypothesis using [pred], but only those inversions that narrow the field of possibilities to one possible rule will be kept.  The format of the list arguments to [crush'] is that you can pass an empty list as [tt], a singleton list as the unadorned single element, and a multiple-element list as a tuple of the elements.#</li>#
-    %\item%#<li># If you want [crush'] to apply polymorphic lemmas, you may have to do a little extra work, if the type parameter is not a free variable of your proof context (so that [crush'] does not know to try it).  For instance, if you define a polymorphic map insert function [assign] of some type [forall T : Set, ...], and you want particular applications of [assign] added automatically with type parameter [U], you would need to include [assign] in the lemma list as [assign U] (if you have implicit arguments off) or [assign (T := U)] or [@assign U] (if you have implicit arguments on).#</li>#

-%\item%#<li># Implement a reflective procedure for normalizing systems of linear equations over rational numbers.  In particular, the tactic should identify all hypotheses that are linear equations over rationals where the equation righthand sides are constants.  It should normalize each hypothesis to have a lefthand side that is a sum of products of constants and variables, with no variable appearing multiple times.  Then, your tactic should add together all of these equations to form a single new equation, possibly clearing the original equations.  Some coefficients may cancel in the addition, reducing the number of variables that appear.
-
-To work with rational numbers, import module [QArith] and use [Local Open Scope Q_scope].  All of the usual arithmetic operator notations will then work with rationals, and there are shorthands for constants 0 and 1.  Other rationals must be written as [num # den] for numerator [num] and denominator [den].  Use the infix operator [==] in place of [=], to deal with different ways of expressing the same number as a fraction.  For instance, a theorem and proof like this one should work with your tactic:
-[[

Simplify a negation by returning its argument.  Simplify conjunctions and disjunctions using De Morgan's laws, negating the arguments recursively and switching the kind of connective.  Your [decide] function may be useful in some of the proof obligations, even if you do not use it in the computational part of [negate]'s definition.  Lemmas like [decide] allow us to compensate for the lack of a general Law of the Excluded Middle in CIC.#</li>#

-%\item%#<li># Implement the DPLL satisfiability decision procedure for boolean formulas in conjunctive normal form, with a dependent type that guarantees its correctness.  An example of a reasonable type for this function would be [forall f : formula, {truth : tvals | formulaTrue truth f} + {][forall truth, ~ formulaTrue truth f}].
