Abstract

We propose a formulation of an induction principle for diamond-free partial orders, which can be considered as a generalization of one of the variants of the real induction principle. This principle may be useful for specification and verification of non-discrete systems using interactive proof assistant software. As an example, a formalization in Isabelle proof assistant is presented.
