	  |________________________________________________|

1 Introduction
==============

	Bags, which are sometimes called multisets,  are collections of elements
which may occur several times in the same bag. (Whereas, in a  set, each element
may not occur more than once.) This  theory is quite similar to  the set theory.
Among the slight  differences,  we have the  equal-multiplicity relation and two
definitions for  the  union  of  two  bags.   I  have not heard   or read of any
definition or use of bag cardinality, this is why I did not define  it. However,
it  is possible  to define a  cardinal    for bags  which   takes into   account
multiplicity in the same way I did for sets.




1.1 Bag theory vocabulary
-------------------------

	A bag  is  a finite  or  infinite   collection of elements in   which we
disregard the order of occurrence of the elements,  but regard their multiplicity
(i.e.  the number of occurrences) of each element as  significant.  Thus, whereas
the bag {B,A,A} is  considered to be equal  to  the bag {A,B,A}, we  distinguish
between the bag {A,B,B}, in which B occurs twice, and the  bag {A,B}, in which B
occurs only once.

	Bags are sometimes called  multisets,for bag theory   closely resembles
set theory.

empty bag:		the empty bag, denoted as {} is a bag with no elements.

member predicate: 	x e B means the element x is ``in'' the bag B.

insertion function:	x o B  is  the bag one  gets  by  inserting the element
			x in B.

equal-multiplicity predicate: 	(eqmult x B C) holds if x has the same number of
				occurrences in B and in C.

sum function:	 	B |+| C is the bag one gets by putting the elements from
			B        and  those      from     C     together,   thus
			{x,y,y}|+|{y}={x,y,y,y}

union function:		B|U|C is the bags whose elements are either in B or in C
			and  have a multiplicity  which  equals  the maximum  of
			their   multiplicity    in    B      or   in C.     Thus
			{x,y,y}|U|{y}={x,y,y}.

intersection function:	B |I| C is the bags whose elements are either in B or in
			C and have  a multiplicity which  equals the minimum  of
			their  multiplicity   in    B    or    in      C.   Thus
			{x,y,y}|I|{y}={x,y}

subbag predicate:	B|SUB|C means all elements of B are in C and their occur
			less times in B than in C.

proper subbag predicate:B |PSUB| C means B |SUB| C and B <> C.

choice function:	choice B is a single element which is in B.

rest function:		rest B is the bag such that  (choice B) o (rest B) is B.



1.2 Reference
-------------

	This bag theory  is based  on Manna  and  Waldinger's  bag theory.   The
definitions are quite different, for Wanna and Waldinger's theory  is for finite
bags.  But  all axioms  and theorem  of this  previous theory  are proved  here.
However, the induction axiom is irrelevant for infinite bags.



2. Definition of the type (*)bag
================================

2.1 Representing bags
---------------------

	Bags  are   represented in HOL  by  "*->num"  functions.  The function F
represents the bags of all elements x such that (F  x) is the multiplicity of x.
Therefore every function of the kind represents a bag.



2.2 The type definition
-----------------------

	We first prove there  exist bags, that  is there exists a  function that
represents a bag. (Which is trivial, of course)

***
(bag exists)
There exists a ":*->num" function which represents a bag.
***


	Then we can derive the abstraction and representation functions:

ABS":(*->num)->(*)bag" takes  a  function as argument  and  returns  the bag  it
represents.

REP":(*)bag->(*->num)" takes  a  bag as argument and  returns the function which
represents it.

	This is done by  the ML  function new_type_definition which also derives
the  bag axiom from  "is  bag  rep"  and "bag   exists".  ABS and  REP are  type
isomorphisms. This means that  they are one-one onto functions  from one type to
another one. Moreover, they are  inverse functions. The define_type_isomorphisms
ML  function  applied to bag exists proves  the  properties  which are described
above.




3.3 Basic notions: empty bag, member relation, insertion
========================================================

***
(empty bag definition)
{} is the bag represented by the function (\x. 0)
***



	The binary predicate x e B denotes the member relation, which is true if
the element x belongs to the bag B. We  will use the  binary predicate x ~e B to
denote the negation of the member relation.

***
(in definition)
for all element x,
for all bag B,
x e B if and only if (REP B x) <> 0.
***



	The binary function symbol x o B denotes the insertion function. x o B is
the bag one gets by inserting the element x in the bag B. If x is not in B, then
its multiplicity in x o B will be 1, otherwise its multiplicity in  x o B equals
its multiplicity  in B plus  1. If y  does  not equal  x,  then its multiplicity
(which may be 0) is the same in x o B and in B.

***
(insertion definition)
for all element x,
for all bag B,
x o B = ABS (\y. ((y=x) => (REP B x)+1 | REP B x)).
***



	Insertion  and  member relation are  linked   together by  the following
theorem:

***
(in)
for all elements x and y,

4. The equal-multiplicity relation - bag equality
=================================================

	The  ternary    predicate    symbol  (eqmult    x  B C)  denotes     the
equal-multiplicity relation, which holds if the element x has the same number of
occurrences in the bag B and in the bag C. Thus

		(eqmult x {x;x;y;y} {x;x;y}) is true,

because there is two occurrences of x in both bags; on the other hand,

		(eqmult y {x;x;y;y} {x;x;y}) is false,

because y occurs twice in the first bag but only once in the second one.

***
(eqmult definition)
for all element x,
for all bags B and C,
(eqmult x B C) if and only if (REP B x)=(REP C x).
***



	It is obvious that the order of B  and C  in the eqmult formula does not
matter.

***
(eqmult symmetry)
for all element x,
for all bags B and C,
(eqmult x B C) <==> (eqmult x C B)
***

\\\proof
apply eqmult definition.
///

let C = ABS(\y. y=x => (REP B y)-1 | (REP B y))
let y be an element

as REP B x <> 0, we have ((REP B x)-1)+1 = REP B x
-- second case: y<>x
(#) is REP B y = REP B y.
///




5. The count function
=====================

	The function symbol (count B  x) denotes the number  of occurrences of x
in B. Thus count is the same function as REP. Therefore, we  will not expose the
properties of the count function in this paper, since  they are those of the REP
function we always use in our  proofs. However,  the HOL version  of the theory
contains these properties for I thought REP was not a convenient name for a user
of the theory.





6. Subbags
==========

	The binary predicate symbol B |SUB| C denotes the subbag relation, which
holds if, for each occurrence  of an element in  the bag  B, there corresponds a
distinct occurrence of the same element in the bag C. Thus
			      {x;y}|SUB|{x,x,y,z}
			 but not {x,y,y}|SUB|{x,x,y,z}.

***
(subbag definition)
for all bags B and C,
B|SUB|C if and only if, for all element x, (REP B x)<=(REP C x).
***



	The empty bag is a subbag of every bag.

***
(subbag empty)
for all bag B,
{}|SUB|B.
***

\\\proof
{}|SUB|B <==> !x. REP (ABS (\x. 0)) x <= REP B x
		(empty bag definition, subbag definition)
	<==> !x. 0 <= REP B x, which holds.
///


	The subbag relation is closed under the insertion of the same element in
its two arguments.

***
(subbag insert)

***

\\\proof
(x o B)|SUB|(x o C)
<==> (!y. (y=x => (REP B y)+1 | REP B y) <= (y=x => (REP C y)+1 | REP C y)) (#)
<==> (y=x => (REP B y)+1 <= (REP C y)+1 | (REP B y) <= (REP C y))           (##)
<==> (y=x => (REP B y) <= (REP C y) | (REP B y) <= (REP C y))    (&)
<==> (REP B y) <= (REP C y)      (&&)
<==> B|SUB|C. 
note: in HOL, we need a lemma which proves (#)<==>(##) and (&)<==>(&&)
///



***
(subbag member)
for all element x,
for all bags B and C,
(x o B)|SUB|C ==> x e C.
***

\\\proof
assume (x o B)|SUB|C,
which is (!y. (REP (ABS(\y. y=x => (REP B y)+1 | REP B y)) y) <= REP C y)
or (!y. (y=x => (REP B y)+1 | REP B y) <= REP C x)
we are to prove REP C x <> 0
but, according to the assumption, (REP B x)+1<=(REP C x) 
therefore REP C x <> 0
///



	With the subbag relation, we have an another way to express bag equality

***
(subbag equality)
for all bags B and C,
B = C <==> B|SUB|C and C|SUB|B.
***

\\\proof
B = C <==> (!x. REP B x = REP C x)
B|SUB|C and C|SUB|B <==> (!x. REP B x <= REP C x) and (!x. REP C x <= REP B x)
which is true because <= is antisymmetric.
note: the last step of this  proof  is not as  obvious in HOL: you have  to poke
through the goal and the assumptions.

	I give here the definition of a proper subbag, though I do  not think it
is an interseting notion:

***
(proper subbag definition)
for all bags B and C,
B|PSUB|C if and only if B|SUB|C and B<>C
***

7. The choice and rest functions
================================

	For a nonempty bag B, (choice B) is an arbitrary  member  of B and (rest
B) is the bag of all remaining occurrences of B. choice is defined with Hilbert's
epsilon function. choice and rest are functions. Thus, though there is no way to
foretell which of the elements is to be chosen, it will always  be the same: if
B=C then (choice B)=(choice C)

***
(choice definition)
for all bag B,
choice B = @x. x e B.
***


***
(rest definition)
for all bag B,
rest B = (@C. B = ((choice B) o C))
***


	Note  that (choice  {})  and (rest  {})  are defined.  (choice {}) is an
arbitrary  element and (rest  {}) is the  empty bag. However,  we shall  not use
these definition for B={}.

	choice and rest have the same properties than in set theory.

***
(choice member)
for all bag B,
if B<>{} then (choice B) e B.
***

\\\proof
assume B<>{}
choice B = @x. x e B
as B<>{} there exists an x such that x e B (nonempty bag member)
hence (@x. x e B) e B.
///



***
(choice decomposition)
for all bag B,
if B<>{} then B = (choice B) o (rest B).
***

\\\proof
assume B<>{}
rest B = (@C. B = ((choice B) o C))
we have (choice B) e B (choice member)
therefore there exists a bag C such that:
(#) B = (choice B) o C  (member decomposition)
hence (@C. (#)) holds (#)
that is B = (choice B) o (rest B).
///




8. Functions over bags
======================

8.1 The sum function. 
--------------------

	The binary function symbol B|+|C denotes the sum of the  two  bags B and
C. The number of occurrences of an element x of  B|+|C is the  numeric sum of the
number of occurrences of x in B and the number of occurrences of x in C. Thus
			  {x,y,y}|+|{x,z}={x,x,y,y,z}.

***
(sum definition)
for all bags B and C,
B|+|C = ABS(\x. (REP B x)+(REP C x)).
***



	Inserting an element in an argument of  a sum  of two bags is equivalent
to inserting this element in the sum itself.

***
(sum)
for all bag B,
{}|+|B = B.

for all element x,
for all bags B and C,
(x o B)|+|C = x o B|+|C.
***

\\\proof
Though rewriting our goals with using empty  bag definition, sum definition, bag
equality, insertion definition, eqmult definition and the properties  of REP and
ABS is quite tedious, it proves the theorem.
///



8.2 The union function.
----------------------

	The binary function symbol B|U|C denotes the union of the two bags B and
C. The number  of occurrences of an element  x  of B|U|C is   the maximum of  the
number of occurrences of x in B and the number of occurrences of x in C. Thus
       {x,y,y}|U|{x,z}={x,y,y,z} (compare with the example given for |+|)

***
(union definition)
for all bags B and C,
B|U|C = ABS(\x. max(REP B x,REP C x)).
***



	The two following  theorems  show the relationship between insertion and
union.

***
(union member)
for all element x,
for all bags B and C,
(x o B)|U|(x o C) = x o B|U|C.
***

\\\proof
as usual, rewrite with union definition, insert definition and properties of REP
and ABS.
this leads to
(x o B)|U|(x o C) = x o B|U|C
	<==> (max((REP B x)+1,(REP C x)+1) = max(REP B x,REP C x)+1
		and (!y<>x max(REP B y,REP C y) = max(REP B y,REP C y))
the  first part of the second  member is achieved  in  HOL by a theorem from the
theory  `more_arithmetic` which  was  specially build  for deriving  the  theory
`bags`. This theory contains properties of the max and min functions.
///



***
(union nonmember)
for all element x,
for all bags B and C,
if x ~e C then (x o B)|U|C = x o B|U|C
***

\\\proof
it starts as above
assuming REP C x = 0, we get:
(x o B)|U|C = x o B|U|C
	<==> max((REP B x)+1,REP C x)=max(REP B x,REP C x)+1
		and (!y<>x max(REP B\ y,REP C y) = max(REP B y,REP C y))
	<==> max((REP B x)+1,0)=max(REP B x,0)+1
		which is true since, for all n max(n,0)=0.
///




8.3 The intersection function
-----------------------------

	The binary function symbol   B|I|C denotes the  intersection of  the two
bags B and C. The number of occurrences of an  element x  of B|I|C is the minimum
of the number of occurrences of x in B and the number of occurrences of  x in C.
Thus
			    {x,x,y}|I|{x,y,z}={x,y}

***
(intersection definition)
for all bags B and C,
B|I|C = ABS(\y. min(REP B y,REP C y).
***



	The properties  of intersection are rather similar  to  those  of union,
while the proofs follow the same  patterns.  The only thing one has  to do is to
replace max with min.

***
(intersection empty)
for all bag B,
{}|I|B = B.
***



***
(intersection member)
for all element x,
for all bags B and C,
(x o B)|I|(x o C) = x o B|I|C.
***



***
(intersection nonmember)
for all element x,
for all bags B and C,
if x ~e C then (x o B)|I|C = B|I|C.
***




9. Finite bags
==============

	We shall now give a  definition of finite  bags  and derive an induction
property.
	Intuitively, a   finite bag is   a  bag  for  which   you can count  the
occurrences. Therefore, we shall first introduce the has_card  relation, denoted
by the binary predicate symbol (has_card B n), and  which holds if  the elements
of bag B totalize n occurrences. Thus
			has_card {x,x,y,z,z} 5 is true.

	The has_card predicate can be used as a basis  to define cardinality for
bags. But I do not know if this definition is interesting.

***
(has_card)
there exists a unique predicate has_card such that:
has_card B 0 <==> B={}
and
has_card B n+1 <==> for some element x and some bag C, B=x o C and has_card C n.
***




	Then we shall introduce the unary (finite B) predicate symbol, which holds if the bag B is finite. We will say that B is finite if there exists an n such that (has_card B n) is true.

***
(finite definition)
for all bag B,
finite B if and only if there exists an n such that (has_card B n).
***



	Deriving  the  induction   theorem for finite  bags. We  first prove the
following lemma

***
(bag induction lemma)
for all predicate P over bags,
if P {} is true
and
if for all finite bag B, and all element x,
P B ==> P (x o B)
then
for all bag C and natural number n,
has_card C n ==> P C.
***

\\\proof
assume P {}
and (#) (!B x. if finite B then P B ==> P (x o B))
	i.e. (!B x. $n. has_card B n ==> (P B ==> P (x o B)))
induction over n
---  base case
assume has_card C 0
then C = {} (has_card), but we have P {}
hence has_card C 0 ==> P C

---  induction step
assume for all C, has_card C n ==> P C
assume has_card C n+1 
then for some C' and x, C = x o C' and (has_card C' n)
therefore: P C'
but, ?n. (has_card C' n), finite C'
hence from (#) P C' ==> P (x o C')
therefore P C.
///




	We can now prove the bag induction theorem, from which we  shall be able
to build a bag-induction tactic in HOL. (see bags.ml file for further details).

***
(bag induction)
for all predicate P over bags,
if P {} is true
and
if for all finite bag B, and all element x,
P B ==> P (x o B)
then
for all bag C, finite C ==> P C.
***

\\\proof: assume the theorem assumptions and finite C
then for some n, has_card C n
hence (bag induction lemma) P C.

	      APPENDIX B:  the theory `more_arithmetic`
_______________________________________________________________________________



	The theory more_arithmetic is a parent of the theory  `bags`. It gives a
definition of the max and min functions, which  respectively  denote the greater
and smaller of  to natural number.  Properties of max  and min which are used in
bag theory are derived.
