Nominal Techniques in Isabelle/HOL

Abstract:

In this talk, I will start with a brief motivation of the nominal logic work and then describe an inductive definition for alpha-equated lambda-terms. Building on that, I will illustrate how informal proofs about the lambda-calculus can be formalized with ease using strong induction principles that have Barendregt's variable convention already built-in.
