Proof in Coq with named parameters in constructors - coq

I'm trying to prove mapCCoption. If you compare the definition of BB to CC, they are the same except in CC the named type parameters are in the constructor. This prevents me from completing the proof because when I destruct an object of type CC option a I lose any information about type option.
Inductive BB (m : Type -> Type) (a : Type) : Type :=
| bb : m a -> BB m a.
Inductive CC : (Type -> Type) -> Type -> Type :=
| cc (m : Type -> Type) (a : Type) : m a -> CC m a.
Theorem mapBBoption (a : Type) (b : Type) (f : a -> b) (x : BB option a) : BB option b.
Proof.
apply bb.
destruct x as [o].
destruct o as [a0|].
- apply (Some (f a0)).
- apply None.
Qed.
Theorem mapCCoption (a : Type) (b : Type) (f : a -> b) (x : CC option a) : CC option b.
Proof.
apply cc.
destruct x as [m1 a1 o].
???

In this case you should use inversion instead of destruct:
Theorem mapCCoption (a : Type) (b : Type) (f : a -> b) (x : CC option a) : CC option b.
Proof.
apply cc.
inversion x as [m1 a1 o].
inversion o as [a0|].
- apply (Some (f a0)).
- apply None.

Fail to `destruct` due to ill-typedness and even cannot give an exact term in Coq

I tried to implement the following Coq code:
Set Implicit Arguments.
Inductive fun_eq A B (f : A -> B) : forall C D, (C -> D) -> Prop :=
fun_eqrefl : forall g : A -> B, f = g -> fun_eq f g.
Lemma fun_eq0 A B (f g : A -> B) : fun_eq f g -> f = g.
Proof. intros H. destruct H.
But destruct H. fails with an error message:
Abstracting over the terms "A", "B" and "g" leads to a term
fun (A0 B0 : Type) (g0 : A0 -> B0) => f = g0 which is ill-typed.
Reason is: Illegal application:
The term "#eq" of type "forall A : Type, A -> A -> Prop" cannot be applied to the terms
"A0 -> B0" : "Type"
"f" : "A -> B"
"g0" : "A0 -> B0"
The 2nd term has type "A -> B" which should be coercible to
"A0 -> B0".
I think there would be two workarounds for this kind of error, neither of which worked in this case.
One is to admit the proof_irrelevance. However, it is impossible to construct an alternating proof for fun_eq f g because the argument of fun_eqrefl is what we want.
Another way is to provide an exact term using refine, but I couldn't come up with such a term. Also, if there were such a term (it would involve match statement), I suspect my previous question could be solved in a similar way.
Is it possible to prove fun_eq0? If so, how can it be done?
You can prove it using UIP (special case of proof irrelevance for eq).
The trick is to rewrite one side of the equality f to cast eq_refl f, where cast : A = B -> A -> B, and use UIP/proof irrelevance to replace eq_refl with an equality proof obtained from the H : fun_eq f g assumption. That way, when you destruct H, the type of the LHS changes simultaneously with the type of the RHS.
Set Implicit Arguments.
From Coq Require Import ProofIrrelevance.
Inductive fun_eq A B (f : A -> B) : forall C D, (C -> D) -> Prop :=
fun_eqrefl : forall g : A -> B, f = g -> fun_eq f g.
(* Extract the equality on types *)
Definition fun_eq_tyeq {A B C D} (f : A -> B) (g : C -> D) (H : fun_eq f g) : (A -> B) = (C -> D) :=
match H with
| fun_eqrefl _ => eq_refl
end.
Definition cast A B (e : A = B) (x : A) : B := eq_rect A (fun T => T) x B e.
Lemma fun_eq0 A B (f g : A -> B) : fun_eq f g -> f = g.
Proof.
intros H.
change (cast eq_refl f = g).
replace eq_refl with (fun_eq_tyeq H) by apply UIP.

Coq: parametric rewriting under binders

I have a parametric relation myeq that I would like to rewrite under the predicate P whenever both are used with the same parameter. It works well if I declare the appropriate morphism:
From Coq Require Import Setoid Morphisms.
Parameter A B : Type.
Parameter myeq : A -> relation B.
Add Parametric Relation (a : A) : B (myeq a) as myeq_rel.
Parameter P : A -> B -> Prop.
Add Parametric Morphism (a : A) : (P a)
with signature (myeq a) ==> iff as P_morphism.
Admitted.
Lemma test1 b1 b2 :
(forall a, myeq a b1 b2) ->
exists a, P a b1.
Proof.
intro.
setoid_rewrite H. (* OK *)
Abort.
However it stops working when I try to apply a function, even registered as a morphism for myeq:
Parameter Op : B -> B.
Add Parametric Morphism (a : A) : Op
with signature (myeq a) ==> (myeq a) as op_morphism.
Admitted.
Lemma test2 b1 b2 :
(forall a, myeq a b1 b2) ->
exists a, P a (Op b1).
Proof.
intro.
setoid_rewrite H. (* not OK, why? *)
Abort.
Did I forget to declare something?

Can one prove an equivalent to Forall_inv for heterogeneous lists in Coq?

Following Adam Chlipala's definition of heterogeneous lists, I wanted to define an equivalent of the Forall function on normal lists. This isn't too difficult, and you end up with two constructors as usual. Now suppose that I know that a fact is true about every element of a non-empty list. With normal lists, I could use Forall_inv and Forall_inv_tail to assert that it's true about the head and tail of the list.
I'd like to prove the equivalent for hForall as defined below, starting with the head case. Looking at the source in Lists/List.v, the proof for normal lists is easy and runs by inversion on Forall (a :: l). The equivalent for my hForall gives a mess of dependent variables. Am I missing something obvious?
Require Import List.
Section hlist.
Variable A : Type.
Variable B : A -> Type.
Inductive hlist : list A -> Type :=
| HNil : hlist nil
| HCons {a : A} {ls : list A} : B a -> hlist ls -> hlist (a :: ls).
Section hForall.
Variable P : forall a : A, B a -> Prop.
Inductive hForall : forall {As : list A}, hlist As -> Prop :=
| hForall_nil : hForall HNil
| hForall_cons {a : A} {ls : list A} (x : B a) (hl : hlist ls)
: P a x -> hForall hl -> hForall (HCons x hl).
Lemma hForall_inv
(a : A)
(ls : list A)
(x : B a)
(hl : hlist ls)
: hForall (HCons x hl) -> P a x.
Proof.
(* Help! *)
Abort.
End hForall.
End hlist.
Inductives indexed by indexed types lead to that kind of difficulty.
Alternatively, consider defining hForall as a Fixpoint. Then the inversion lemma follows by just unfolding the definition.
Section hForall'.
Variable P : forall a, B a -> Prop.
Fixpoint hForall' {As : list A} (hs : hlist As) : Prop :=
match hs with
| HNil => True
| HCons x js => P _ x /\ hForall' js
end.
Lemma hForall'_inv
(a : A)
(ls : list A)
(x : B a)
(hl : hlist ls)
: hForall' (HCons x hl) -> P a x.
Proof.
intros []; auto.
Qed.
End hForall'.
Appendix
Mostly for educational purposes, here's a few ways to prove that inversion lemma for the original inductive definition of hForall (starting from the simpler to use).
One solution is the dependent destruction tactic, which also automatically handles heterogeneous equalities, as opposed to destruct. It is imported from the Program module:
Import Program.
Lemma hForall_inv
(a : A)
(ls : list A)
(x : B a)
(hl : hlist ls)
: hForall (HCons x hl) -> P a x.
Proof.
intros H.
dependent destruction H.
auto.
Qed.
The (minor) catch is that it uses some axioms about heterogeneous equality:
Print Assumptions hForall_inv.
(*
Section Variables:
P : forall a : A, B a -> Prop
B : A -> Type
A : Type
Axioms:
Eqdep.Eq_rect_eq.eq_rect_eq : forall (U : Type) (p : U)
(Q : U -> Type) (x : Q p)
(h : p = p), x = eq_rect p Q x p h
JMeq_eq : forall (A : Type) (x y : A), x ~= y -> x = y
*)
With a little more knowledge of how destruct works/dependent pattern-matching, here's a proof without axioms.
There are some detailed explanations of dependent pattern-matching in CPDT, but briefly the issue is that when we do destruct/inversion on hForall (HCons x hl), the index HCons x hl gets generalized before the case-split, so you get a nonsensical case where it is replaced with HNil, and a second case with a different index HCons x0 hl0, and a good way of remembering the (heterogeneous) equality across that generalization is a research-grade problem. You wouldn't need to mess with heterogeneous equalities if the goal just got rewritten with those variables, and indeed you can refactor the goal so that it explicitly depends on HCons x hl, instead of x and hl separately, which will then be generalized by destruct:
Lemma hForall_inv'
(a : A)
(ls : list A)
(x : B a)
(hl : hlist ls)
: hForall (HCons x hl) -> P a x.
Proof.
intros H.
change (match HCons x hl return Prop with (* for some reason you have to explicitly annotate the return type as Prop right here *)
| HNil => True
| HCons x _ => P _ x
end).
destruct H.
- exact I. (* Replace [HCons x hl] with [HNil], the goal reduces to [True]. (This is an unreachable case.) *)
- assumption.
(* Or, directly writing down the proof term. *)
Restart.
intros H.
refine (match H in #hForall As hs return
match hs return Prop with
| HNil => True
| HCons x _ => P _ x
end
with
| hForall_nil => I
| hForall_cons _ _ _ _ => _
end).
assumption.
Qed.
The Equations plugin probably automates that properly, but I haven't tried.
I think the easiest way to solve this kind of destructing is by telling Coq that we care about these destructed patterns.
Alternately, you can use remember tactic, but sometimes it will make more hard reason about your theorem.

An observation I am using Type to enables elimination :

Proving theorems about inductive types using _ind; App rule

Variables A B : Prop.
Theorem proj1 : A /\ B -> A.
In order to learn, I'm trying to prove this theorem by explicitly writing down a proof term using and_ind.
I would assume the correct proof term is
fun (H : A /\ B) => and_ind A B A (fun a _ => a) H
But this raises an error, and instead the correct term is
fun (H : A /\ B) => and_ind (fun a _ => a) H
I don't understand this. The definition of and_ind is
and_ind =
fun (A B P : Prop) (f : A -> B -> P) (a : A /\ B) => match a with
| conj x x0 => f x x0
end
: forall A B P : Prop, (A -> B -> P) -> A /\ B -> P
How can I see from that that the parameters (A B P : Prop) have to be omitted?
The "App" rule
from the Reference Manual seems to state clearly that quantified variables have to be explicitly "instantiated" using the function application syntax that I tried.
In Coq, you can declare some arguments of a function as implicit. When you call the function, you don't supply values for the implicit arguments; Coq automatically tries to infer suitable values, based on other information available during type checking. The A, B and P arguments of and_ind are all declared as implicit, and can be inferred from the type of the H argument and the result type of the function argument.
You can see what arguments are considered implicit with the About command:
About and_ind.
(* and_ind : forall A B P : Prop, (A -> B -> P) -> A /\ B -> P *)
(* Arguments A, B, P are implicit *)
(* Argument scopes are [type_scope type_scope type_scope function_scope _] *)
(* and_ind is transparent *)
(* Expands to: Constant Coq.Init.Logic.and_ind *)
You can turn off implicit arguments with an individual call with an # sign:
Check fun A B H => #and_ind A B A (fun a _ => a) H.
(* fun (A B : Prop) (H : A /\ B) => and_ind (fun (a : A) (_ : B) => a) H *)
(* : forall A B : Prop, A /\ B -> A *)
(Notice that Coq automatically omits implicit arguments when printing a term as well.)
The Coq manual has more information on that subject.

Different induction principles for Prop and Type

I noticed that Coq synthesizes different induction principles on equality for Prop and Type. Does anybody have an explanation for that?
Equality is defined as
Inductive eq (A : Type) (x : A) : A -> Prop := eq_refl : x = x
And the associated induction principle has the following type:
eq_ind
: forall (A : Type) (x : A) (P : A -> Prop),
P x -> forall y : A, x = y -> P y
Now let's define a Type pendant of eq:
Inductive eqT {A:Type}(x:A):A->Type:= eqT_refl: eqT x x.
The automatically generated induction principle is
eqT_ind
: forall (A : Type) (x : A) (P : forall a : A, eqT x a -> Prop),
P x (eqT_refl x) -> forall (y : A) (e : eqT x y), P y e
Note: I'm going to use _rect principles everywhere instead of _ind, since _ind principles are usually implemented via the _rect ones.
Type of eqT_rect
Let's take a look at the predicate P.
When dealing with inductive families, the number of arguments of P is equal to the number of non-parametric arguments (indices) + 1.
Let me give some examples (they can be easily skipped).
Natural numbers don't have parameters at all:
Inductive nat : Set := O : nat | S : nat -> nat.
So, the predicate P will be of type nat -> Type.
Lists have one parametric argument (A):
Inductive list (A : Type) : Type :=
nil : list A | cons : A -> list A -> list A.
Again, P has only one argument: P : list A -> Type.
Vectors are a different:
Inductive vec (A : Type) : nat -> Type :=
nil : vec A 0
| cons : A -> forall n : nat, vec A n -> vec A (S n).
P has 2 arguments, because n in vec A n is a non-parameteric argument:
P : forall n : nat, vec A n -> Type
The above explains eqT_rect (and, of course, eqT_ind as a consequence), since the argument after (x : A) is non-parametric, P has 2 arguments:
P : forall a : A, eqT x a -> Type
which justifies the overall type for eqT_rect:
eqT_rect
: forall (A : Type) (x : A) (P : forall a : A, eqT x a -> Type),
P x (eqT_refl x) -> forall (y : A) (e : eqT x y), P y e
The induction principle obtained in this way is called a maximal induction principle.
Type of eq_rect
The generated induction principles for inductive predicates (such as eq) are simplified to express proof irrelevance (the term for this is simplified induction principle).
When defining a predicate P, Coq simply drops the last argument of the predicate (which is the type being defined, and it lives in Prop). That's why the predicate used in eq_rect is unary. This fact shapes the type of eq_rect:
eq_rect :
forall (A : Type) (x : A) (P : A -> Type),
P x -> forall y : A, x = y -> P y
How to generate maximal induction principle
We can also make Coq generate non-simplified induction principle for eq:
Scheme eq_rect_max := Induction for eq Sort Type.
The resulting type is
eq_rect_max :
forall (A : Type) (x : A) (P : forall a : A, x = a -> Type),
P x eq_refl -> forall (y : A) (e : x = y), P y e
and it has the same structure as eqT_rect.
