Picologic

Picologic is a lightweight library for working with symbolic logic expressions. It is built against the picosat Haskell library which bundles the SAT solver with the Haskell package so no external solver or dependencies are necessary.

Picologic provides the logic expressions, parser and normal form conversion, and Tseytin transformations to express the logic expressions in equational form and generate constraint sets for use in SAT/SMT solvers.

Installing

To use the library using Stack use:

$ git clone [email protected]:sdiehl/picologic.git
$ cd picologic
$ stack build
$ stack test

Or using Cabal:

$ cabal install picologic

To build the interactive shell compile with the -fshell flag:

$ cabal get picologic
$ cd picologic-0.2.0
$ cabal configure -fshell
$ cabal install

Usage

To use the API import the Picologic module.

import Picologic

p, q, r :: Expr
p = readExpr "~(A | B)"
q = readExpr "(A | ~B | C) & (B | D | E) & (D | F)"
r = readExpr "(φ <-> ψ)"
s = readExpr "(0 | A) -> (A & 1)"

ps = ppExprU p
-- ¬(A ∨ B)
qs = ppExprU q
-- ((((A ∨ ¬B) ∨ C) ∧ ((B ∨ D) ∨ E)) ∧ (D ∨ F))
rs = ppExprU (cnf r)
-- ((φ ∧ (φ ∨ ¬ψ)) ∧ ((ψ ∨ ¬φ) ∧ ψ))
ss = ppExprU s
-- ((⊥ ∨ A) → (A ∧ ⊤))
ss1 = ppExprU (cnf s)
-- ⊤

main :: IO ()
main = solveProp p >>= putStrLn . ppSolutions
-- ¬A ¬B
-- ¬A B
-- A ¬B

The expression AST consists just of the logical connectives or constants.

newtype Ident = Ident String
  deriving (Eq, Ord, Show, Data, Typeable)

data Expr
  = Var       Ident      -- ^ Variable
  | Neg       Expr       -- ^ Logical negation
  | Conj      Expr Expr  -- ^ Logical conjunction
  | Disj      Expr Expr  -- ^ Logical disjunction
  | Iff       Expr Expr  -- ^ Logical biconditional
  | Implies   Expr Expr  -- ^ Material implication
  | Top                  -- ^ Constant true
  | Bottom               -- ^ Constant false
  deriving (Eq, Ord, Show, Data, Typeable)

To use the interactive shell when compiled with with -fshell invoke picologic at the shell.
