Idea

Isabelle is a proof assistant. Its main application is HOL. Related proof assistants are HOL4, HOL Light, HOL Zero, and ProofPower. These are programmed, as Isabelle itself, in ML. In contrast to other proof assistants, Isabelle is based on classical set theoretic foundations. The Archive of Formal Proofs is an online library of proofs formalized in Isabelle.
