Hi,
I have a rather trivial problem with higher-order matching. Suppose I have:
consts
FuncA :: "X_Int => X_Int"
FuncB :: "X_Int => X_Int"
axioms
ax1 [rule_format] :
"ALL x y. FuncA(x) <' FuncB(y)"
declare ax1 [simp]
theorem test1:
"ALL x y. FuncA(x) <' FuncB(y)"
using ax1
by (auto)
The proof succeeds since it's simply applying ax1.
What about if I want to prove the following:
theorem test2:
"ALL x y.
EX f.
f(x) <' FuncB(y)"
using ax1
by (auto)
It fails. Am I missing a lemma? If so, what lemma am I missing? Can ax1 not
be applied in the same way as in test1?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Most of our proof methods will not prove "EX f. ..." automatically when
f is a function. In this case "blast" will do it because the situation
is trivial. In general, do not expect to prove EX formulas
automatically, unless the situation is almost trivial.

PS You can drop both "ALL x y" and [rule_format] in ax1.

I see. In that case, what sort of tactic should be used to prove this
(if any)? Sorry, I'm very new to Isabelle.
In general you have to write a proper proof. See the Isabelle documentation.
