Discussion with T. Nipkow on Isabelle, Mar 1995

The discussion served to find out which parts of the Madrid wish list for NGHDL (see Section 2.2.2) could be conveniently realised within Isabelle. Using existing proof systems such as Isabelle one hopefully could provide quickly and with comparatively little manpower a reasonably convenient proof system for NGHDL.

A particular topic was the amount of support Isabelle offers for systems of (in-)equations and infix/mixfix operators (which will be important for the strongly algebraic transformational style used in Augsburg). A typical example is the theory of regular expressions (e.g. for the description of pulse shapes as in B. Möller's Madrid talk, Section 2.2) or, more generally, of Kleene algebras.

The discussion led to the following results:
