Dear all,

I currently have a problem defining certain functions where the internal tactics in the
function package fail.

E.g., a quite minimalistic example is

fun foo where
"foo (Suc n) = (let f = n in
if f mod 3 = f then foo n else 0)"
| "foo 0 = Suc 0"

where Isabelle 2016 complains.

Adapting it via „False or"

fun foo where
"foo (Suc n) = (let f = n in
if False ∨ f mod 3 = f then foo n else 0)"
| "foo 0 = Suc 0"

is accepted, but interestingly, „True and“ is again not accepted.

fun foo where
"foo (Suc n) = (let f = n in
if True ∧ f mod 3 = f then foo n else 0)"
| "foo 0 = Suc 0"

Output:

consts
foo :: "nat ⇒ 'a"
Tactic failed
The error(s) above occurred for the goal statement⌂:
(⋀n x. x = n ⟹ True ∧ x mod 3 = x ⟹ P n (Suc n)) ⟹ foo_rel ≤ P
Found termination order: "size <mlex> {}"

Cheers,
René
