Proof Methods for Corecursive Programs

Jeremy Gibbons and Graham Hutton

Abstract

Recursion is a well-known and powerful programming technique, with a wide variety of applications. The dual technique of corecursion is less well-known, but is increasingly proving to be just as useful. This article is a tutorial on four methods for proving properties of corecursive programs: fixpoint induction, the approximation lemma, coinduction, and fusion.
