Re: [ProofPower] Yet the Precondition calculus

I noticed that you were writing rewrite_tac [z_get_spec %SZT% pre Op %>%] to rewrite the pre operator away. In some cases this would leave Op in the result which you would then need to rewrite away again. It's probably better to just do rewrite_tac [z_get_spec %SZT% Op %>%] and let the z_li

My first response to Artur Gomes was a bit rushed and probably didn't help much, so I had another look. I fiddled around with his script to confirm that the precondition of Op is SS, and then did a direct proof. The amended script is attached. I don't have a systematic method to offer, not having

2009-08-20 Thread Artur Oliveira Gomes
Hi there, I am having few problems with the precondition calculus. More specifcly, I can not say if an existential quantifier included in the predicate of the operation can be eliminated during the calculus, or if it is the precondition itself. Here follows an attached file with a small example o
