Topic: Vampire: problem is unprovable


view this post on Zulip Chengsong Tan (Oct 16 2023 at 22:39):

Hi all,

What does it mean for Vampire to say "problem is unprovable" after calling Sledgehammer on a goal?
If this means the lemma is counter-satsifiable, then how do I get a counterexample from there?
I tried nitpick and quickcheck with no luck.

(line 1593)
Transposed.thy
Thanks,
Chengsong

I don't have that message, but do not read anything into it. Just read it as a failure to find a proof

In general it is extremely hard from a Sledghammer to conclude about satisfiability, because you would have to check which facts have been translated

BTW in your goal, the fact that you unfold stuff by hand but not SWR that you just defined… you should start with SWR because you have no facts on it

And a final remark, this kind of stuff, you have to write by hand:

lemma [simp]: ‹Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache1 (T [a sHost= b]))) =
     Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache1 T))›
  ‹Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache1 (T ++cl))) =
     Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache1 T))›
  ‹Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache1 (T [ q -=req] ))) =
     Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache1 T))›

‹Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache2 (T [a sHost= b]))) =
     Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache2 T))›
  ‹Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache2 (T [ q -=req] ))) =
     Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache2 T))›
  ‹Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache2 (T [ q' +=reqresp t k l] ))) =
     Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache2 T))›

     Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache2 T))›
  ‹Owner (CLEntry.block_state (devcache1 (T [ q' +=reqresp t k l] ))) =

You don't want sledgehammer to inline the proof each time. You want this to be applied by auto

Hi Mathias,
By "you should start with SW[M]R" do you mean adding these definitions to the [simp] set? Or is it more like writing facts like the snippet you showed?

Thanks a lot! This cartouche style I have. never seen before :)

Currently your code look like:

definition SWR where ...

lemma "... SWR ..."

view this post on Zulip Mathias Fleury (Oct 17 2023 at 13:47):

at this point you know nothing on SWR except for the definition. Hence you have to unfold the definition (you know nothing else!)

view this post on Zulip Mathias Fleury (Oct 17 2023 at 13:49):

Typically, you have:

definition SWR where ...

lemma SWR_simp1[simp]: "..."
   unfolding SWR_def by auto
lemma SWR_simp2[simp]: "..."
   unfolding SWR_def by auto
lemma SWR_simp3[simp]: "..."
   unfolding SWR_def by auto

lemma "... SWR ..."

Here the situation is different: in the last lemma, you actually already know things about SWR

I like cartouche (I find them less intrusive) and Makarius is actually pushing towards them and there are cases where you have to use them. But: this is currently only a choice.

My impression is that you want to work with SWR most of the time (and not go deeper). Hence the simp rules will already take care of some simplifications. But I might be wrong… I did not bother reading the formalization :)
