Another possibility is to call one of them is_subseq.

Hi Manuel,Well, how about changing Sublist.subseq to Sublist.subsequence? And accordingly strict_subseq to strict_subsequence or ssubsequence?Andreas On 28/06/17 19:49, Manuel Eberl wrote:Yes, I noticed that as well. I decided to leave it that way since, well, we do have qualified names. If anybody has better suggestions, I am open to implementing them.

This name is now hidden by the definition in Sublist, in particular when I import HOL-Probability. Can this name clash be eliminated before the next release such that I don't have to write Topological_Spaces.subseq everywhere?

I am perfectly happy with "sublist" (for the contiguous case) and "subseq" (for the general case) and think we should adopt it. [Then we would rename sublisteq -> subseq and sublist :: "'a list ⇒ nat set ⇒ 'a list" (in List) to something else, eg sublist_index) Tobias On 25/05/2017 21:13, Jasmin Blanchette wrote:On 25.05.2017, at 20:41, Tobias Nipkow <nip...@in.tum.de> wrote: I don't think that sublist, subsequence and substring really have much of a bias in either direction, except possibly substring, but the latter does indeed sound too specialized.Wikipedia has a clear bias (and I did not edit it, nor did I look it up before writing my previous email): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsequence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring Popular algorithm sbooks like Cormen et al. follow the same definition of subsequence. Standard expressions like "longest increasing subsequence" depend on this semantics. As for sublist, all the examples I see by Googling either "sublist", "is_sublist", "isSublist", or "indexOfSubList" in Java, Python, Scala, etc., have the contiguous semantics. Including this page: http://www4.in.tum.de/lehre/praktika/psv/psv98/Vorlesung5/aufg4.html I'm not saying we should rename the Isabelle concepts, just that Isabelle is the odd (wo)man out.
