Build Instructions

Quick Build

cd theories/
coq_makefile -f _CoqProject -o Makefile
make -j$(nproc)

Manual Build (Dependency Order)

# Layer 1
coqc Auxiliary/Types.v

# Layer 2
coqc Auxiliary/Lib.v

# Layer 3
coqc Core/Rules.v

# Layer 4
coqc Patterns/PatternHelpers.v
coqc Invariants/SearchInvariant.v

# Layer 5
coqc Invariants/AlgoState.v
coqc Invariants/NoMatch.v

# Layer 6
coqc Patterns/PatternOverlap.v

# Layer 7
coqc Position_Skipping_Proof.v

Verification

# All files should compile without errors
make clean
make -j$(nproc)

# Expected output: No errors, all .vo files generated
ls -R *.vo */*.vo

---

Extraction

The main module includes extraction directives for verified OCaml code:

Require Import Liblevenshtein.Phonetic.Verification.Position_Skipping_Proof.

Extraction "position_skipping.ml"
  apply_rules_seq
  apply_rules_seq_opt
  can_apply_at
  position_dependent_context.

This allows empirical testing and benchmarking of the verified algorithms.

---

Testing and Validation

Proof Checking

All proofs have been validated by Coq's kernel. No axioms or admissions remain:

# Check for admitted proofs (should be empty)
grep -r "Admitted" theories/*.v theories/*/*.v
# Result: No matches found

# Check for axioms (should be empty)
grep -r "^Axiom" theories/*.v theories/*/*.v
# Result: No matches found

Module Imports

All modules correctly import their dependencies:

# Check imports compile
make clean && make -j$(nproc)
# Result: Success - all modules compile

Known Limitations and Future Work

Limitations

1. Final Context Unsafety: Position skipping is unsafe with Final context

   • Documented in final_position_can_change counterexample
   • Practical mitigation: Check rules at initialization

2. Fuel-Based Termination: Algorithm uses fuel parameter

   • Practical: Choose fuel ≥ |rules| × |string|
   • Future: Prove termination bound

Future Enhancements

1. Tighter Termination Bounds

   • Prove specific fuel requirements
   • Optimize fuel calculation

2. Additional Optimizations

   • Windowed search with margin
   • Hybrid approach for Final context

3. Extraction Optimization

   • Optimize extracted OCaml code
   • Benchmark against reference implementation

Conclusion

The modular decomposition is complete and successful:

✅ 9 modules replacing monolithic 3,379-line file
✅ 3,707 lines total (9.7% overhead)
✅ 100% proven - all theorems end with Qed
✅ Well-documented - 4 comprehensive documentation files
✅ Build-ready - _CoqProject and Makefile configured
✅ Extraction-ready - OCaml extraction configured

The position skipping optimization is formally verified for position-independent contexts with complete, rigorous, modular proofs.
