[Hol-info] prove a goal in HOL4

2010-04-07 Thread liy_liu
I have to prove a goal in HOL4 as following:

g `!a b c. (indep bern a c) /\ (indep bern b c) ==
   (a IN events bern) /\ (b IN events bern) /\ (c IN events bern) /\
   (prob bern (a INTER b INTER c) = prob bern (a INTER b) * prob bern c)`;

Here, a and c are independant, also b and c are independant. However,  
a depends b.

Could anybody give me some hints? I really appreciate!

Regards,
Liya

IMPORTANT DATES
---
Deadline for abstracts (extended):17 April 2010
Deadline for papers (extended):   25 April 2010
Acceptance notification (extended):7 June  2010
Camera-ready version (extended):   7 July  2010
Workshop:  20-21 September 2010

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
-

The  aim of  the  FMICS workshop  series  is to  provide  a forum  for
researchers who  are interested in the development  and application of
formal  methods  in industry.  In  particular,  these workshops  bring
together  scientists and  engineers that  are  active in  the area  of
formal methods  and interested in exchanging their  experiences in the
industrial  usage of  these methods.  These workshops  also  strive to
promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods
and tools for industrial applications.

Topics include, but are not restricted to:
* Design, specification,  code generation and testing  based on formal
  methods.
* Methods,  techniques  and   tools  to  support  automated  analysis,
  certification, debugging,  learning, optimization and transformation
  of complex, distributed, real-time systems and embedded systems.
* Verification  and validation  methods that  address  shortcomings of
  existing  methods  with respect  to  their industrial  applicability
  (e.g., scalability and usability issues).
* Tools for the development of formal design descriptions.
* Case studies  and experience  reports on industrial  applications of
  formal methods, focusing on lessons learned or identification of new
  research directions.
* Impact of the adoption of  formal methods on the development process
  and associated costs.
* Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forums.

I can't guess what bern and events mean, but if prob and indep have a 
usual meaning, then it's not true.

eg let 3 coins, X, Y, Z be tossed independently.

Let event A be coins X and Y fall the same way

Let event B be coins X and Z fall the same way

Let event C be coins Z and Y fall the same way

Then each two of the three events A,B,C are independent.  But A  B is 
not independent of C (which is what, I understand, the last line of your 
conclusion says)

Regards,

Jeremy
