摘要：We introduce two coinduction principles and two proof translations which, under certain conditions, map coinductive proofs that use our principles to guarded Coq proofs. The first principle provides an "operational" description of a proof by coinduction, which is easy to reason with informally. The second principle extends the first one to allow for direct proofs by coinduction of statements with existential quantifiers and multiple coinductive predicates in the conclusion. The principles automatically enforce the correct use of the coinductive hypothesis. We implemented the principles and the proof translations in a Coq plugin.
