Dear all,

with HMA_Connect you have a bidirectional connection between “‘a^’n’^m” and “‘a 
mat”.
However, when you transfer something from “‘a^’n^’m” to “‘a mat”, then you get 
the additional
constraint that the dimensions of the matrix must be non-zero.

To be more precise, assume the following two lemmas (where I omit 
sort-constraints):

lemma one: 
  fixes A B :: “‘a^’n^’m”
  shows “A + B = B + A” 

lemma two: 
  fixes A B :: “‘a mat”
  shows “A : carrier_mat n m ==> B : carrier_mat n m ==> A + B = B + A” 

From “two” and HMA_Connect you can easily get “one”.
But from “one” and HMA_Connect you only get “three” via transfer:  

lemma three: 
  fixes A B :: “‘a mat”
  shows “n ~= 0 ==> m ~= 0 ==> A : carrier_mat n m ==> B : carrier_mat n m ==> 
A + B = B + A” 

To obtain “two” from “three", one would have to manually proof the result for 
the corner cases “n = 0 \/ m = 0”.


But indeed, Fabian is completely right that lemmas for determinants, etc. are 
duplicates. Actually, the JNF-matrices “‘a mat” 
have been developed from scratch (without HMA_Connect), by manually copying and 
adapting several proofs from the distribution.

Cheers,
René
