The Isabelle theorem prover an interactive theorem proving framework, a successor of the
HOL theorem prover.

subsection{*Inductive definition of the even numbers*}

inductive Ev | Inductive definition, two cases
intros

text{* Using the introduction rules: *}
lemma "Suc(Suc(Suc(Suc 0))) \<in> Ev" | four belongs to Ev
apply(rule Add2I) | proof
apply(rule Add2I)

text{*A simple inductive proof: *}
lemma "n:Ev ==> n+n : Ev" | 2n is even if n is even
apply(erule Ev.induct) | induction
