Su resumen es

This paper gives the first formalization of Kruskal’s tree theorem in a proof assistant. More concretely, an Isabelle/HOL development of Nash-Williams’ minimal bad sequence argument for proving the tree theorem is presented. Along the way, the proofs of Dickson’s lemma and Higman’s lemma are discussed.

El trabajo se presentará en el CPP 2013 (3rd International Conference on Certified Programs and Proofs).
