Announcement

Binary-4 -- a Pure Binary Natural Number Arithmetic library for Agda

is available here on GitHub, and on

 http://www.botik.ru/pub/local/Mechveliani/binNat/,

Binary-4 is a pure, regular-performance, complete, and certified binary arithmetic for natural numbers written in Agda.

It has been tested under Agda 2.5.4, MAlonzo, ghc-7.10.2.

It is also suggested as a replacement for the Bin part in Standard library lib-0.16 (the modules Data.Bin.agda, Data.Bin.Properties.agda).

About other works on binary natural arithmetic

  1. The library of 2013 by Arseniy Alekseyev:

    https://github.com/Rotsor/BinDivMod

It seems to have all the needed functionality and proofs. Only the code. It uses different representation, different algorithms.

  1. The library by Martin Escardo of 2016:

    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~mhe/agda-new/BinaryNaturals.html

(only I do not see there divMod and gcd operations).

Thanks. I am grateful to Arseniy Alekseyev for his notes and help.

Changes in Binary-4 with respect to Binary-3.2

  • It has simpler proofs and simpler algorithms,

  • It has a faster divMod operation in the case of small divisor values (this matter has been pointed out by Arseniy Alekseyev).

  • It is used a different representation for Bin:

    data Bin : Set where

     0#    : Bin
    
     2suc  : Bin -> Bin    -- \n-> 2*(1+n)  arbitrary nonzero even
    
     suc2* : Bin -> Bin    -- \n-> 1 + 2n   arbitrary odd
    
  • < on Bin is defined defined by mapping to Nat (similar as in Standard library).

  • It is used a WellFounded recursion on Bin for termination proof for the functiond divMod and gcd.

Comments

`Pure'
means that Binary-4 never uses a built-in arithmetic (on Nat) to essentially change performance. The performance order is supposed to remain with replacing the Nat arithmetic with the naive unary arithmetic.

`Regular performance' means that the arithmetic on Bin of Binary-4 has a regular performance cost order -- the one expected for the corresponding known naive operations with bit lists. At least this holds for <-cmp, +, -., *, divMod, gcd. Examples:

  • The comparison <-cmp x y on Bin costs O(|x| + |y|),
    where |z| = bitLength z.

  • Division with remainder divMod x y y/=0 on Bin costs O( |x|^2 ).

`Complete'
means that all the items are implemented that are usually required for standard arithmetic. There are provided the following items.

  • < and <= are defined by mapping to Nat,
  • DecTotalOrder instance for <= on Bin,
  • StrictTotalOrder instance for < on Bin,
  • The bijection property for the map pair toNat, fromNat.
  • Subtraction -. on Bin, with the main properties proved.
  • The proofs for isomorphism for +, *, -. for toNat, fromNat.
  • The monotonicity proofs for toNat, fromNat for <= and Nat.<=. A similar monotonicity for < and Nat.<= are proved.
  • Various kinds of monotonicity for +, *, -. for <= and <
    are proved.
  • The CommutativeSemiring instance for Bin.
  • Binary logarithm for Bin, with its main properties proved.
  • Division with remainder and GCD for Bin.
  • The demonstration/test programs for divMod and gcd.

`Certified' means that everything is proved in Agda which is regularly required of the above operations.

Usage of Standard library: Bin of Standard is not used.

Software base

Binary-4 has been tested under Agda 2.5.4, MAlozo, ghc-7.10.2.

It also includes the module LtReasoning.agda -- a support for inequality reasoning by Ulf Norell.

Installation:

          agda -c $agdaLibOpt GCDTest.agda

Performance tests:

LogarithmTest.agda, DivModTest.agda, GCDTest.agda ("readme"-s are included).

Comments and improvements are welcome.
