Sorting by insertion and its correctness

  • Key definitions: isort, insert
  • Initial author: Laurent.Thery@inria.fr (2003)

From Coq Require Import List Sorting.Permutation.
From Huffman Require Import Ordered.

Set Default Proof Using "Type".

Section ISortExample.
Variable A : Type.
Variable order : A -> A -> Prop.
Variable order_fun : A -> A -> bool.
Hypothesis order_fun_true : forall a b : A, order_fun a b = true -> order a b.
Hypothesis order_fun_false : forall a b : A, order_fun a b = false -> order b a.

Local Hint Constructors Permutation : core.
Local Hint Resolve Permutation_refl : core.

Local Hint Resolve Permutation_app_swap : core.

Insert an element
Fixpoint insert (a : A) (l : list A) {struct l} : list A :=
  match l with
  | [] => a :: []
  | b :: l1 =>
      match order_fun a b with
      | true => a :: l
      | false => b :: insert a l1
      end
  end.

Inserting preserves ordering
Theorem insert_ordered :
 forall l : list A,
 ordered order l -> forall a : A, ordered order (insert a l).
Proof using order_fun_false order_fun_true.
intros l H'; elim H'; clear H' l; auto.
simpl in |- *; auto.
intros a b; simpl in |- *.
generalize (refl_equal (order_fun b a));
 pattern (order_fun b a) at -1 in |- *; case (order_fun b a);
 intros Eq0; auto.
intros a b l H'0 H'1 H'2 a0.
simpl in |- *.
generalize (refl_equal (order_fun a0 a));
 pattern (order_fun a0 a) at -1 in |- *; case (order_fun a0 a);
 intros Eq0; auto.
generalize (H'2 a0); simpl in |- *.
generalize (refl_equal (order_fun a0 b));
 pattern (order_fun a0 b) at -1 in |- *; case (order_fun a0 b);
 intros Eq1; auto.
Qed.

Inserting returns a permutation
Theorem insert_permutation :
 forall (L : list A) (a : A), Permutation (a :: L) (insert a L).
Proof.
intros L; elim L; simpl in |- *; auto.
intros b l H' a.
case_eq (order_fun a b); intros H1; auto.
apply Permutation_trans with (l' := b :: a :: l); auto.
Qed.
Local Hint Resolve insert_ordered insert_permutation : core.

Sorting by insertion
Fixpoint isort (l : list A) : list A :=
  match l with
  | [] => []
  | b :: l1 => insert b (isort l1)
  end.

Sorting gives an ordered list
Theorem isort_ordered : forall l : list A, ordered order (isort l).
Proof using order_fun_false order_fun_true.
intros l; elim l; simpl in |- *; auto.
Qed.

The result is a permutation of the original list
Theorem isort_permutation : forall l : list A, Permutation l (isort l).
Proof.
intros l; elim l; clear l; simpl in |- *; auto.
intros a l H'.
apply Permutation_trans with (l' := a :: isort l); auto.
Qed.
Local Hint Resolve isort_ordered isort_permutation : core.
