The Coq library¶
The Coq library is structured into two parts:
The initial library: it contains elementary logical notions and data-types. It constitutes the basic state of the system directly available when running Coq;
The standard library: general-purpose libraries containing various developments of Coq axiomatizations about sets, lists, sorting, arithmetic, etc. This library comes with the system and its modules are directly accessible through the
Requirecommand (see Section コンパイルされたファイル);
In addition, user-provided libraries or developments are provided by Coq users' community. These libraries and developments are available for download at http://coq.inria.fr (see Section Users’ contributions).
This chapter briefly reviews the Coq libraries whose contents can also be browsed at http://coq.inria.fr/stdlib.
The basic library¶
This section lists the basic notions and results which are directly
available in the standard Coq system. Most of these constructions
are defined in the Prelude module in directory theories/Init
at the Coq root directory; this includes the modules
Notations,
Logic,
Datatypes,
Specif,
Peano,
Wf and
Tactics.
Module Logic_Type also makes it in the initial state.
Notations¶
This module defines the parsing and pretty-printing of many symbols (infixes, prefixes, etc.). However, it does not assign a meaning to these notations. The purpose of this is to define and fix once for all the precedence and associativity of very common notations. The main notations fixed in the initial state are :

Logic¶
The basic library of Coq comes with the definitions of standard (intuitionistic) logical connectives (they are defined as inductive constructions). They are equipped with an appealing syntax enriching the subclass form of the syntactic class term. The syntax of form is shown below:
form ::= True (True)
| False (False)
| ~ form (not)
| form /\ form (and)
| form \/ form (or)
| form -> form (primitive implication)
| form <-> form (iff)
| forall ident : type, form (primitive for all)
| exists ident [: specif], form (ex)
| exists2 ident [: specif], form & form (ex2)
| term = term (eq)
| term = term :> specif (eq)
注釈
Implication is not defined but primitive (it is a non-dependent product of a proposition over another proposition). There is also a primitive universal quantification (it is a dependent product over a proposition). The primitive universal quantification allows both first-order and higher-order quantification.
Propositional Connectives¶
First, we find propositional calculus connectives:
- Inductive True : Prop := I.
- True is defined True_rect is defined True_ind is defined True_rec is defined
- Inductive False : Prop := .
- False is defined False_rect is defined False_ind is defined False_rec is defined
- Definition not (A: Prop) := A -> False.
- not is defined
- Inductive and (A B:Prop) : Prop := conj (_:A) (_:B).
- and is defined and_rect is defined and_ind is defined and_rec is defined
- Section Projections.
- Variables A B : Prop.
- A is declared B is declared
- Theorem proj1 : A /\ B -> A.
- 1 subgoal A, B : Prop ============================ A /\ B -> A
- Theorem proj2 : A /\ B -> B.
- 1 subgoal A, B : Prop ============================ A /\ B -> B
- End Projections.
- Toplevel input, characters 0-16: > End Projections. > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Error: Proof editing in progress. Proofs currently edited: proj2 proj1. Use "Abort All" first or complete proof(s).
- Inductive or (A B:Prop) : Prop := | or_introl (_:A) | or_intror (_:B).
- or is defined or_ind is defined
- Definition iff (P Q:Prop) := (P -> Q) /\ (Q -> P).
- or is defined or_ind is defined iff is defined
- Definition IF_then_else (P Q R:Prop) := P /\ Q \/ ~ P /\ R.
- IF_then_else is defined
Quantifiers¶
Then we find first-order quantifiers:
- Definition all (A:Set) (P:A -> Prop) := forall x:A, P x.
- all is defined
- Inductive ex (A: Set) (P:A -> Prop) : Prop := ex_intro (x:A) (_:P x).
- ex is defined ex_ind is defined
- Inductive ex2 (A:Set) (P Q:A -> Prop) : Prop := ex_intro2 (x:A) (_:P x) (_:Q x).
- ex2 is defined ex2_ind is defined
The following abbreviations are allowed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The type annotation :A can be omitted when A can be
synthesized by the system.
Equality¶
Then, we find equality, defined as an inductive relation. That is,
given a type A and an x of type A, the
predicate (eq A x) is the smallest one which contains x.
This definition, due to Christine Paulin-Mohring, is equivalent to
define eq as the smallest reflexive relation, and it is also
equivalent to Leibniz' equality.
- Inductive eq (A:Type) (x:A) : A -> Prop := eq_refl : eq A x x.
- eq is defined eq_rect is defined eq_ind is defined eq_rec is defined
Lemmas¶
Finally, a few easy lemmas are provided.
- Theorem absurd : forall A C:Prop, A -> ~ A -> C.
- ex is defined ex_ind is defined ex2 is defined ex2_ind is defined eq is defined eq_rect is defined eq_ind is defined eq_rec is defined 1 subgoal A, B : Prop ============================ forall A0 C : Prop, A0 -> ~ A0 -> C

- End equality.

- Definition eq_ind_r : forall (A:Type) (x:A) (P:A->Prop), P x -> forall y:A, y = x -> P y.
- 1 subgoal A, B : Prop f : A -> B x, y, z : A ============================ forall (A0 : Type) (x0 : A0) (P : A0 -> Prop), P x0 -> forall y0 : A0, y0 = x0 -> P y0

- Definition eq_rect_r : forall (A:Type) (x:A) (P:A->Type), P x -> forall y:A, y = x -> P y.
- Hint Immediate eq_sym not_eq_sym : core.
The theorem f_equal is extended to functions with two to five
arguments. The theorem are names f_equal2, f_equal3,
f_equal4 and f_equal5.
For instance f_equal3 is defined the following way.
- Theorem f_equal3 : forall (A1 A2 A3 B:Type) (f:A1 -> A2 -> A3 -> B) (x1 y1:A1) (x2 y2:A2) (x3 y3:A3), x1 = y1 -> x2 = y2 -> x3 = y3 -> f x1 x2 x3 = f y1 y2 y3.
- 1 subgoal A, B : Prop f : A -> B x, y, z : A ============================ forall (A1 A2 A3 B0 : Type) (f0 : A1 -> A2 -> A3 -> B0) (x1 y1 : A1) (x2 y2 : A2) (x3 y3 : A3), x1 = y1 -> x2 = y2 -> x3 = y3 -> f0 x1 x2 x3 = f0 y1 y2 y3
Datatypes¶
In the basic library, we find in Datatypes.v the definition
of the basic data-types of programming,
defined as inductive constructions over the sort Set. Some of
them come with a special syntax shown below (this syntax table is common with
the next section Specification):
specif ::=specif*specif(prod) |specif+specif(sum) |specif+ {specif} (sumor) | {specif} + {specif} (sumbool) | {ident:specif|form} (sig) | {ident:specif|form&form} (sig2) | {ident:specif&specif} (sigT) | {ident:specif&specif&specif} (sigT2) term ::= (term,term) (pair)
Programming¶
- Inductive unit : Set := tt.
- unit is defined unit_rect is defined unit_ind is defined unit_rec is defined
- Inductive bool : Set := true | false.
- bool is defined bool_rect is defined bool_ind is defined bool_rec is defined
- Inductive nat : Set := O | S (n:nat).
- nat is defined nat_rect is defined nat_ind is defined nat_rec is defined
- Inductive option (A:Set) : Set := Some (_:A) | None.
- option is defined option_rect is defined option_ind is defined option_rec is defined
- Inductive identity (A:Type) (a:A) : A -> Type := refl_identity : identity A a a.
- identity is defined identity_rect is defined identity_ind is defined identity_rec is defined
Note that zero is the letter O, and not the numeral 0.
The predicate identity is logically
equivalent to equality but it lives in sort Type.
It is mainly maintained for compatibility.
We then define the disjoint sum of A+B of two sets A and
B, and their product A*B.
- Inductive sum (A B:Set) : Set := inl (_:A) | inr (_:B).
- sum is defined sum_rect is defined sum_ind is defined sum_rec is defined
- Inductive prod (A B:Set) : Set := pair (_:A) (_:B).
- prod is defined prod_rect is defined prod_ind is defined prod_rec is defined
- Section projections.
- Toplevel input, characters 0-20: > Section projections. > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Error: Proof editing in progress. Proofs currently edited: f_equal3 not_eq_sym absurd proj2 proj1. Use "Abort All" first or complete proof(s).
- Variables A B : Set.
- Toplevel input, characters 0-20: > Variables A B : Set. > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Error: A already exists.
- Definition fst (H: prod A B) := match H with | pair _ _ x y => x end.
- unit is defined unit_rect is defined unit_ind is defined unit_rec is defined bool is defined bool_rect is defined bool_ind is defined bool_rec is defined nat is defined nat_rect is defined nat_ind is defined nat_rec is defined option is defined option_rect is defined option_ind is defined option_rec is defined identity is defined identity_rect is defined identity_ind is defined identity_rec is defined sum is defined sum_rect is defined sum_ind is defined sum_rec is defined prod is defined prod_rect is defined prod_ind is defined prod_rec is defined fst is defined
- Definition snd (H: prod A B) := match H with | pair _ _ x y => y end.
- snd is defined
- End projections.
- Toplevel input, characters 0-16: > End projections. > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Error: Proof editing in progress. Proofs currently edited: f_equal3 not_eq_sym absurd proj2 proj1. Use "Abort All" first or complete proof(s).
Some operations on bool are also provided: andb (with
infix notation &&), orb (with
infix notation ||), xorb, implb and negb.
Specification¶
The following notions defined in module Specif.v allow to build new data-types and specifications.
They are available with the syntax shown in the previous section Datatypes.
For instance, given A:Type and P:A->Prop, the construct
{x:A | P x} (in abstract syntax (sig A P)) is a
Type. We may build elements of this set as (exist x p)
whenever we have a witness x:A with its justification
p:P x.
From such a (exist x p) we may in turn extract its witness
x:A (using an elimination construct such as match) but
not its justification, which stays hidden, like in an abstract
data-type. In technical terms, one says that sig is a weak
(dependent) sum. A variant sig2 with two predicates is also
provided.
- Inductive sig (A:Set) (P:A -> Prop) : Set := exist (x:A) (_:P x).
- sig is defined sig_rect is defined sig_ind is defined sig_rec is defined
- Inductive sig2 (A:Set) (P Q:A -> Prop) : Set := exist2 (x:A) (_:P x) (_:Q x).
- sig2 is defined sig2_rect is defined sig2_ind is defined sig2_rec is defined
A strong (dependent) sum {x:A & P x} may be also defined,
when the predicate P is now defined as a
constructor of types in Type.
- Inductive sigT (A:Type) (P:A -> Type) : Type := existT (x:A) (_:P x).
- sigT is defined sigT_rect is defined sigT_ind is defined sigT_rec is defined
- Section Projections2.
- Toplevel input, characters 0-21: > Section Projections2. > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Error: Proof editing in progress. Proofs currently edited: f_equal3 not_eq_sym absurd proj2 proj1. Use "Abort All" first or complete proof(s).
- Variable A : Type.
- Toplevel input, characters 0-18: > Variable A : Type. > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Error: A already exists.
- Variable P : A -> Type.
- P is declared Variable P is not visible from current goals
- Definition projT1 (H:sigT A P) := let (x, h) := H in x.
- sig is defined sig_rect is defined sig_ind is defined sig_rec is defined sig2 is defined sig2_rect is defined sig2_ind is defined sig2_rec is defined sigT is defined sigT_rect is defined sigT_ind is defined sigT_rec is defined P is declared Variable P is not visible from current goals projT1 is defined
- Definition projT2 (H:sigT A P) := match H return P (projT1 H) with existT _ _ x h => h end.
- projT2 is defined
- End Projections2.
- Toplevel input, characters 0-17: > End Projections2. > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Error: Proof editing in progress. Proofs currently edited: f_equal3 not_eq_sym absurd proj2 proj1. Use "Abort All" first or complete proof(s).
- Inductive sigT2 (A: Type) (P Q:A -> Type) : Type := existT2 (x:A) (_:P x) (_:Q x).
- sigT2 is defined sigT2_rect is defined sigT2_ind is defined sigT2_rec is defined
A related non-dependent construct is the constructive sum
{A}+{B} of two propositions A and B.
- Inductive sumbool (A B:Prop) : Set := left (_:A) | right (_:B).
- sumbool is defined sumbool_rect is defined sumbool_ind is defined sumbool_rec is defined
This sumbool construct may be used as a kind of indexed boolean
data-type. An intermediate between sumbool and sum is
the mixed sumor which combines A:Set and B:Prop
in the construction A+{B} in Set.
- Inductive sumor (A:Set) (B:Prop) : Set := | inleft (_:A) | inright (_:B).
- sumor is defined sumor_rect is defined sumor_ind is defined sumor_rec is defined
We may define variants of the axiom of choice, like in Martin-Löf's Intuitionistic Type Theory.
- Lemma Choice : forall (S S':Set) (R:S -> S' -> Prop), (forall x:S, {y : S' | R x y}) -> {f : S -> S' | forall z:S, R z (f z)}.
- sigT2 is defined sigT2_rect is defined sigT2_ind is defined sigT2_rec is defined sumbool is defined sumbool_rect is defined sumbool_ind is defined sumbool_rec is defined sumor is defined sumor_rect is defined sumor_ind is defined sumor_rec is defined 1 subgoal A, B : Prop f : A -> B x, y, z : A P : A -> Type ============================ forall (S0 S' : Set) (R : S0 -> S' -> Prop), (forall x0 : S0, {y0 : S' | R x0 y0}) -> {f0 : S0 -> S' | forall z0 : S0, R z0 (f0 z0)}
- Lemma Choice2 : forall (S S':Set) (R:S -> S' -> Set), (forall x:S, {y : S' & R x y}) -> {f : S -> S' & forall z:S, R z (f z)}.
- Lemma bool_choice : forall (S:Set) (R1 R2:S -> Prop), (forall x:S, {R1 x} + {R2 x}) -> {f : S -> bool | forall x:S, f x = true /\ R1 x \/ f x = false /\ R2 x}.
- 1 subgoal A, B : Prop f : A -> B x, y, z : A P : A -> Type ============================ forall (S0 : Set) (R1 R2 : S0 -> Prop), (forall x0 : S0, {R1 x0} + {R2 x0}) -> {f0 : S0 -> bool | forall x0 : S0, f0 x0 = true /\ R1 x0 \/ f0 x0 = false /\ R2 x0}
The next construct builds a sum between a data-type A:Type and
an exceptional value encoding errors:
- Definition Exc := option.
- Exc is defined
- Definition value := Some.
- value is defined
- Definition error := None.
- error is defined
This module ends with theorems, relating the sorts Set or
Type and Prop in a way which is consistent with the
realizability interpretation.
- Definition except := False_rec.
- except is defined
- Theorem absurd_set : forall (A:Prop) (C:Set), A -> ~ A -> C.
- 1 subgoal A, B : Prop f : A -> B x, y, z : A P : A -> Type ============================ forall (A0 : Prop) (C : Set), A0 -> ~ A0 -> C
- Theorem and_rect2 : forall (A B:Prop) (P:Type), (A -> B -> P) -> A /\ B -> P.
Basic Arithmetics¶
The basic library includes a few elementary properties of natural
numbers, together with the definitions of predecessor, addition and
multiplication, in module Peano.v. It also
provides a scope nat_scope gathering standard notations for
common operations (+, *) and a decimal notation for
numbers, allowing for instance to write 3 for S (S (S O))). This also works on
the left hand side of a match expression (see for example
section refine). This scope is opened by default.
Example
The following example is not part of the standard library, but it shows the usage of the notations:
- Fixpoint even (n:nat) : bool := match n with | 0 => true | 1 => false | S (S n) => even n end.
- Toplevel input, characters 62-63: > Fixpoint even (n:nat) : bool := match n with | 0 => true | 1 => false | S (S n) => even n end. > ^ Error: Found a constructor of inductive type Datatypes.nat while a constructor of nat is expected.
Now comes the content of module Peano:

Finally, it gives the definition of the usual orderings le,

Properties of these relations are not initially known, but may be
required by the user from modules Le and Lt. Finally,
Peano gives some lemmas allowing pattern matching, and a double

Accessing the Type level¶
The standard library includes Type level definitions of counterparts of some
logic concepts and basic lemmas about them.
The module Datatypes defines identity, which is the Type level counterpart
of equality:
- Inductive identity (A:Type) (a:A) : A -> Type := identity_refl : identity a a.
- Toplevel input, characters 76-77: > Inductive identity (A:Type) (a:A) : A -> Type := identity_refl : identity a a. > ^ Error: In environment A, B : Prop f : A -> B x, y, z : A P : A -> Type R : A -> A -> Prop Rwf : well_founded F : forall x : A, (forall y : A, R y x -> P y) -> P x F_ext : forall (x : A) (f g : forall y : A, R y x -> P y), (forall (y : A) (p : R y x), f y p = g y p) -> F x f = F x g identity : forall A : Type, A -> A -> Type A0 : Type a : A0 The term "a" has type "A0" while it is expected to have type "Type".
Some properties of identity are proved in the module Logic_Type, which also
provides the definition of Type level negation:
- Definition notT (A:Type) := A -> False.
- notT is defined
Tactics¶
A few tactics defined at the user level are provided in the initial
state, in module Tactics.v. They are listed at
http://coq.inria.fr/stdlib, in paragraph Init, link Tactics.
The standard library¶
Survey¶
The rest of the standard library is structured into the following subdirectories:
Logic : Classical logic and dependent equality
Arith : Basic Peano arithmetic
PArith : Basic positive integer arithmetic
NArith : Basic binary natural number arithmetic
ZArith : Basic relative integer arithmetic
Numbers : Various approaches to natural, integer and cyclic numbers (currently axiomatically and on top of 2^31 binary words)
Bool : Booleans (basic functions and results)
Lists : Monomorphic and polymorphic lists (basic functions and results), Streams (infinite sequences defined with co-inductive types)
Sets : Sets (classical, constructive, finite, infinite, power set, etc.)
FSets : Specification and implementations of finite sets and finite maps (by lists and by AVL trees)
Reals : Axiomatization of real numbers (classical, basic functions, integer part, fractional part, limit, derivative, Cauchy series, power series and results,...)
Relations : Relations (definitions and basic results)
Sorting : Sorted list (basic definitions and heapsort correctness)
Strings : 8-bits characters and strings
Wellfounded : Well-founded relations (basic results)
These directories belong to the initial load path of the system, and
the modules they provide are compiled at installation time. So they
are directly accessible with the command Require (see
Section コンパイルされたファイル).
The different modules of the Coq standard library are documented online at http://coq.inria.fr/stdlib.
Peano’s arithmetic (nat)¶
While in the initial state, many operations and predicates of Peano's
arithmetic are defined, further operations and results belong to other
modules. For instance, the decidability of the basic predicates are
defined here. This is provided by requiring the module Arith.
The following table describes the notations available in scope

Notations for integer arithmetics¶
The following table describes the syntax of expressions
for integer arithmetics. It is provided by requiring and opening the module ZArith and opening scope Z_scope.
It specifies how notations are interpreted and, when not
already reserved, the precedence and associativity.

Real numbers library¶
Notations for real numbers¶
This is provided by requiring and opening the module Reals and
opening scope R_scope. This set of notations is very similar to
the notation for integer arithmetics. The inverse function was added.

Some tactics for real numbers¶
In addition to the powerful ring, field and fourier
tactics (see Chapter Tactics), there are also:
-
discrR¶ Proves that two real integer constants are different.
Example
- Require Import DiscrR.
- Open Scope R_scope.
- Goal 5 <> 0.
- 1 subgoal ============================ 5 <> 0
- discrR.
- No more subgoals.
-
split_Rabs¶ Allows unfolding the
Rabsconstant and splits corresponding conjunctions.
Example
- Require Import Reals.
- Open Scope R_scope.
- Goal forall x:R, x <= Rabs x.
- 1 subgoal ============================ forall x : R, x <= Rabs x
- intro; split_Rabs.
- 2 subgoals x : R Hlt : x < 0 ============================ x <= - x subgoal 2 is: x <= x
-
split_Rmult¶ Splits a condition that a product is non null into subgoals corresponding to the condition on each operand of the product.
Example
- Require Import Reals.
- Open Scope R_scope.
- Goal forall x y z:R, x * y * z <> 0.
- 1 subgoal ============================ forall x y z : R, x * y * z <> 0
- intros; split_Rmult.
- 3 subgoals x, y, z : R ============================ x <> 0 subgoal 2 is: y <> 0 subgoal 3 is: z <> 0
These tactics has been written with the tactic language Ltac described in Chapter The tactic language.
List library¶
Some elementary operations on polymorphic lists are defined here.
They can be accessed by requiring module List.
It defines the following notions:
length
head: first element (with default)
tail: all but first element
app: concatenation
rev: reverse
nth: accessing n-th element (with default)
map: applying a function
flat_map: applying a function returning lists
fold_left: iterator (from head to tail)
fold_right: iterator (from tail to head)
The following table shows notations available when opening scope list_scope.
