A tactic for canceling numeric denominators #

This file defines tactics that cancel numeric denominators from field Expressions.

As an example, we want to transform a comparison 5*(a/3 + b/4) < c/3 into the equivalent 5*(4*a + 3*b) < 4*c.

Implementation notes #

The tooling here was originally written for linarith, not intended as an interactive tactic. The interactive version has been split off because it is sometimes convenient to use on its own. There are likely some rough edges to it.

Improving this tactic would be a good project for someone interested in learning tactic programming.

Computing cancellation factors #

findCancelFactor e produces a natural number n, such that multiplying e by n will be able to cancel all the numeric denominators in e. The returned Tree describes how to distribute the value n over products inside e.

Equations
  • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For

    Theorems to get expression into a form that findCancelFactor and mkProdPrf can more easily handle. These are important for dividing by rationals and negative integers.

    Equations
    Instances For
      theorem CancelDenoms.derive_trans {α : Type u_1} [Mul α] {a : α} {b : α} {c : α} {d : α} (h : a = b) (h' : c * b = d) :
      c * a = d

      Helper lemma to chain together a simp proof and the result of mkProdPrf.

      Given e, a term with rational division, produces a natural number n and a proof of n*e = e', where e' has no division. Assumes "well-behaved" division.

      Equations
      • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
      Instances For

        findCompLemma e arranges e in the form lhs R rhs, where R ∈ {<, ≤, =, ≠}, and returns lhs, rhs, the cancel_factors lemma corresponding to R, and a boolean indicating whether R involves the order (i.e. < and ) or not (i.e. = and ). In the case of LT, LE, GE, and GT an order on the type is needed, in the last case it is not, the final component of the return value tracks this.

        Equations

          cancelDenominatorsInType h assumes that h is of the form lhs R rhs, where R ∈ {<, ≤, =, ≠, ≥, >}. It produces an Expression h' of the form lhs' R rhs' and a proof that h = h'. Numeric denominators have been canceled in lhs' and rhs'.

            cancel_denoms attempts to remove numerals from the denominators of fractions. It works on propositions that are field-valued inequalities.
