Inductive Specification

specific value is in the set.

if some value is in the set, some other also is.

S: smallest set of natural numbers with

0 in S

if x in S then x+3 in S

M: multiples of 3

smallest guarantees uniqueness

Proof by Inductionbintree: 'Number' | '(' 'Symbol' bintree bintree ')'

has an odd number of nodes:(0) Hypothesis: trees of size <= k have odd number

of nodes. Show that this holds for any k.(1) k=0: there are no such bintrees. (0) true.(2) assume (0) true up to some k. Look at tree of

size k+1: bintree: 'Number' has one node. (0) true.| '(' 'Symbol' bintree bintree ')' has one plus size of two smaller tress, i.e., 1+odd+odd, nodes. (0) true.

Proof by Structural Induction

Strategy:

(0) some hypothesis.

(1) show (0) on a simple structure, i.e., on one without substructures.

(2) show (0) on a structure with substructures: if it is true on the substructures it is true on the composite.
