-\asection{The {\tt psatz} tactic in a hurry}
-\tacindex{psatz}
-\label{sec:psatz-hurry}
-Load the {\tt Psatz} module ({\tt Require Psatz}.). This module defines the tactics:
-{\tt lia}, {\tt psatzl D}, %{\tt sos D}
-and {\tt psatz D n} where {\tt D} is {\tt Z}, {\tt Q} or {\tt R} and {\tt n} is an optional integer limiting the proof search depth.
- %
- \begin{itemize}
- \item The {\tt psatzl} tactic solves linear goals using an embedded (naive) linear programming prover \emph{i.e.},
- fourier elimination.
- \item The {\tt psatz} tactic solves polynomial goals using John Harrison's Hol light driver to the external prover {\tt cspd}\footnote{Sources and binaries can be found at \url{https://projects.coin-or.org/Csdp}}. Note that the {\tt csdp} driver is generating
- a \emph{proof cache} thus allowing to rerun scripts even without {\tt csdp}.
- \item The {\tt lia} (linear integer arithmetic) tactic is specialised to solve linear goals over $\mathbb{Z}$.
- It extends {\tt psatzl Z} and exploits the discreetness of $\mathbb{Z}$.
-%% \item The {\tt sos} tactic is another Hol light driver to the {\tt csdp} prover. In theory, it is less general than
-%% {\tt psatz}. In practice, even when {\tt psatz} fails, it can be worth a try -- see
-%% Section~\ref{sec:psatz-back} for details.
- \end{itemize}
-
-These tactics solve propositional formulas parameterised by atomic arithmetics expressions
-interpreted over a domain $D \in \{\mathbb{Z}, \mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{R} \}$.
-The syntax of the formulas is the following:
-\[
-\begin{array}{lcl}
- F &::=& A \mid P \mid \mathit{True} \mid \mathit{False} \mid F_1 \land F_2 \mid F_1 \lor F_2 \mid F_1 \leftrightarrow F_2 \mid F_1 \to F_2 \mid \sim F\\
- A &::=& p_1 = p_2 \mid p_1 > p_2 \mid p_1 < p_2 \mid p_1 \ge p_2 \mid p_1 \le p_2 \\
- p &::=& c \mid x \mid {-}p \mid p_1 - p_2 \mid p_1 + p_2 \mid p_1 \times p_2 \mid p \verb!^! n
- \end{array}
- \]
- where $c$ is a numeric constant, $x\in D$ is a numeric variable and the operators $-$, $+$, $\times$, are
- respectively subtraction, addition, product, $p \verb!^!n $ is exponentiation by a constant $n$, $P$ is an
- arbitrary proposition. %that is mostly ignored.
-%%
-%% Over $\mathbb{Z}$, $c$ is an integer ($c \in \mathtt{Z}$), over $\mathbb{Q}$, $c$ is
-The following table details for each domain $D \in \{\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{Q},\mathbb{R}\}$ the range of constants $c$ and exponent $n$.
-\[
-\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}
- \hline
- &\mathbb{Z} & \mathbb{Q} & \mathbb{R} \\
- \hline
- c &\mathtt{Z} & \mathtt{Q} & \{R1, R0\} \\
- \hline
- n &\mathtt{Z} & \mathtt{Z} & \mathtt{nat}\\
- \hline
-\end{array}

-\asection{\emph{Positivstellensatz} refutations}
-\label{sec:psatz-back}
-
-The name {\tt psatz} is an abbreviation for \emph{positivstellensatz} -- literally positivity theorem -- which
-generalises Hilbert's \emph{nullstellensatz}.
-%
-It relies on the notion of $\mathit{Cone}$. Given a (finite) set of polynomials $S$, $Cone(S)$ is
-inductively defined as the smallest set of polynomials closed under the following rules:
-\[
-\begin{array}{l}
-\dfrac{p \in S}{p \in Cone(S)} \quad
-\dfrac{}{p^2 \in Cone(S)} \quad
-\dfrac{p_1 \in Cone(S) \quad p_2 \in Cone(S) \quad \Join \in \{+,*\}} {p_1 \Join p_2 \in Cone(S)}\\
-\end{array}
-\]
-The following theorem provides a proof principle for checking that a set of polynomial inequalities do not have solutions\footnote{Variants deal with equalities and strict inequalities.}:
-\begin{theorem}
- \label{thm:psatz}
- Let $S$ be a set of polynomials.\\
- If ${-}1$ belongs to $Cone(S)$ then the conjunction $\bigwedge_{p \in S} p\ge 0$ is unsatisfiable.
-\end{theorem}
-A proof based on this theorem is called a \emph{positivstellensatz} refutation.
-%
-The tactics work as follows. Formulas are normalised into conjonctive normal form $\bigwedge_i C_i$ where
-$C_i$ has the general form $(\bigwedge_{j\in S_i} p_j \Join 0) \to \mathit{False})$ and $\Join \in \{>,\ge,=\}$ for $D\in
-\{\mathbb{Q},\mathbb{R}\}$ and $\Join \in \{\ge, =\}$ for $\mathbb{Z}$.
-%
-For each conjunct $C_i$, the tactic calls a oracle which searches for $-1$ within the cone.
-%
-Upon success, the oracle returns a \emph{cone expression} that is normalised by the {\tt ring} tactic (see chapter~\ref{ring}) and checked to be
-$-1$.
-
-To illustrate the working of the tactic, consider we wish to prove the following Coq goal.\\
-\begin{coq_eval}
- Require Import ZArith Psatz.
- Open Scope Z_scope.
-\end{coq_eval}
-\begin{coq_example*}
- Goal forall x, -x^2 >= 0 -> x - 1 >= 0 -> False.
-\end{coq_example*}
-\begin{coq_eval}
-intro x; psatz Z 2.
-\end{coq_eval}
-Such a goal is solved by {\tt intro x; psatz Z 2}. The oracle returns the cone expression $2 \times
-(\mathbf{x-1}) + \mathbf{x-1}\times\mathbf{x-1} + \mathbf{-x^2}$ (polynomial hypotheses are printed in bold). By construction, this
-expression belongs to $Cone(\{-x^2, x -1\})$. Moreover, by running {\tt ring} we obtain $-1$. By
-Theorem~\ref{thm:psatz}, the goal is valid.
-%
-
-\paragraph{The {\tt psatzl} tactic} is searching for \emph{linear} refutations using a fourier
-elimination\footnote{More efficient linear programming techniques could equally be employed}.
-As a result, this tactic explore a subset of the $Cone$ defined as:
-\[
-LinCone(S) =\left\{ \left. \sum_{p \in S} \alpha_p \times p\ \right|\ \alpha_p \mbox{ are positive constants} \right\}
-\]
-Basically, the deductive power of {\tt psatzl} is the combined deductive power of {\tt ring\_simplify} and {\tt fourier}.
-
-\paragraph{The {\tt psatz} tactic} explores the $Cone$ by increasing degrees -- hence the depth parameter $n$.
-In theory, such a proof search is complete -- if the goal is provable the search eventually stops.
-Unfortunately, the external oracle is using numeric (approximate) optimisation techniques that might miss a
-refutation.
-
-%% \paragraph{The {\tt sos} tactic} -- where {\tt sos} stands for \emph{sum of squares} -- tries to prove that a
-%% single polynomial $p$ is positive by expressing it as a sum of squares \emph{i.e.,} $\sum_{i\in S} p_i^2$.
-%% This amounts to searching for $p$ in the cone without generators \emph{i.e.}, $Cone(\{\})$.

-\asection{ {\tt lia} : the linear integer arithmetic tactic }
-\tacindex{lia}
-\label{sec:lia}
-
-The tactic {\tt lia} offers an alternative to the {\tt omega} and {\tt romega} tactic (see
-Chapter~\ref{OmegaChapter}). It solves goals that {\tt omega} and {\tt romega} do not solve, such as the
-following so-called \emph{omega nightmare}~\cite{TheOmegaPaper}.
-\begin{coq_example*}
- Goal forall x y,
- 27 <= 11 * x + 13 * y <= 45 ->
- -10 <= 7 * x - 9 * y <= 4 -> False.
-\end{coq_example*}
-\begin{coq_eval}
-intro x; lia;
-\end{coq_eval}
-The estimation of the relative efficiency of lia \emph{vs} {\tt omega}
-and {\tt romega} is under evaluation.
-
-\paragraph{High level view of {\tt lia}.}
-Over $\mathbb{R}$, \emph{positivstellensatz} refutations are a complete proof principle\footnote{In practice, the oracle might fail to produce such a refutation.}.
-%
-However, this is not the case over $\mathbb{Z}$.
-%
-Actually, \emph{positivstellensatz} refutations are not even sufficient to decide linear \emph{integer}
-arithmetics.
-%
-The canonical exemple is {\tt 2 * x = 1 -> False} which is a theorem of $\mathbb{Z}$ but not a theorem of $\mathbb{R}$.
-%
-To remedy this weakness, the {\tt lia} tactic is using recursively a combination of:
-%
-\begin{itemize}
-\item linear \emph{positivstellensatz} refutations \emph{i.e.}, {\tt psatzl Z};
-\item cutting plane proofs;
-\item case split.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\paragraph{Cutting plane proofs} are a way to take into account the discreetness of $\mathbb{Z}$ by rounding up
-(rational) constants up-to the closest integer.
-%
-\begin{theorem}
- Let $p$ be an integer and $c$ a rational constant.
- \[
- p \ge c \Rightarrow p \ge \lceil c \rceil
- \]
-\end{theorem}
-For instance, from $2 * x = 1$ we can deduce
-\begin{itemize}
-\item $x \ge 1/2$ which cut plane is $ x \ge \lceil 1/2 \rceil = 1$;
-\item $ x \le 1/2$ which cut plane is $ x \le \lfloor 1/2 \rfloor = 0$.
-\end{itemize}
-By combining these two facts (in normal form) $x - 1 \ge 0$ and $-x \ge 0$, we conclude by exhibiting a
-\emph{positivstellensatz} refutation ($-1 \equiv \mathbf{x-1} + \mathbf{-x} \in Cone(\{x-1,x\})$).
-
-Cutting plane proofs and linear \emph{positivstellensatz} refutations are a complete proof principle for integer linear arithmetic.
-
-\paragraph{Case split} allow to enumerate over the possible values of an expression.
-\begin{theorem}
- Let $p$ be an integer and $c_1$ and $c_2$ integer constants.
- \[
- c_1 \le p \le c_2 \Rightarrow \bigvee_{x \in [c_1,c_2]} p = x
- \]
-\end{theorem}
-Our current oracle tries to find an expression $e$ with a small range $[c_1,c_2]$.
-%
-We generate $c_2 - c_1$ subgoals which contexts are enriched with an equation $e = i$ for $i \in [c_1,c_2]$ and
-recursively search for a proof.
-
-% This technique is used to solve so-called \emph{Omega nightmare}
