Equations provides a notation for writing programs by dependent
pattern-matching and (well-founded) recursion
in Coq. It compiles everything down to
eliminators for inductive types, equality and accessibility,
providing a definitional extension to the Coq kernel.
The plugin can be used with Coq's standard logic in Prop
for a proof-irrelevant, erasable interpretation of pattern-matching,
or with a polymorphic logic in Type or re-using the prelude
of the HoTT/Coq library for a
proof-relevant interpretation. In all cases, the resulting
definitions are axiom-free.
Table of Contents
- You can discover and learn Equations through interactive tutorials directly in your browser, or locally with Equations installed.
-
The reference manual provides a summary of the commands and options, and a brief introduction. This introduction can also be followed interactively with Equations installed, equations_intro.v or interactively in your browser.
-
A gallery of examples provides more consequent developments using Equations.

Equations Reloaded: High-Level Dependently-Typed Functional Programming and Proving in Coq. Matthieu Sozeau and Cyprien Mangin. In: Proc. ACM Program. Lang. 3, ICFP, Article 86 (August 2019), 29 pages. DOI, slides.
This presents version 1.2 and above of the package. See Equations Reloaded for associated material, including a VM to run the examples.

Equations for HoTT. Matthieu Sozeau, Talk given at the Homotopy Type Theory 2019 Conference in Pittsburgh, PA, August 2019.
This explains the no-confusion principle and strong equivalences used by Equations and Jesper Cockx's version of dependent pattern-matching in Agda in terms of HoTT.

Equations for Hereditary Substitution in Leivant's Predicative System F: A Case Study. Cyprien Mangin and Matthieu Sozeau. In: Proceedings Tenth International Workshop on Logical Frameworks and Meta Languages: Theory and Practice. Volume 185 of EPTCS. May 2015 - LFMTP'15.
This is a case study on a proof of normalization for an hereditary substitution procedure on a variant of System F.

Equations: A Dependent Pattern-Matching Compiler Matthieu Sozeau (2010) In: Kaufmann M., Paulson L.C. (eds) Interactive Theorem Proving. ITP 2010. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 6172. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg.
This presents an earlier version of the package.
The latest version works with Coq 8.13 (branch 8.13), Coq 8.14 (branch 8.14), Coq 8.15 (branch 8.15), and the current Coq main branch (branch main).
See releases for sources and official releases.
This package is available on OPAM. Activate the Coq repository if you didn't do it yet:
opam repo add coq-released https://coq.inria.fr/opam/released
and run:
opam install coq-equations
To get the beta versions of Coq, activate the repository:
opam repo add coq-core-dev https://coq.inria.fr/opam/core-dev
To get the development version of Equations, activate the repository:
opam repo add coq-extra-dev https://coq.inria.fr/opam/extra-dev
Alternatively, to compile Equations, simply run:
./configure.sh
make
in the toplevel directory, with coqc and ocamlc in your path.
Optionally, one can build the test-suite or examples:
make examples test-suite
Then add the paths to your .coqrc:
Add ML Path "/Users/mat/research/coq/equations/src".
Add Rec LoadPath "/Users/mat/research/coq/equations/theories" as Equations.
Or install it:
make install
As usual, you will need to run this command with the appropriate privileges
if the version of Coq you are using is installed system-wide, rather than
in your own directory. E.g. on Ubuntu, you would prefix the command with
sudo and then enter your user account password when prompted.
The HoTT variant of Equations works with the coq-hott library for Coq 8.13 and up. When using opam, simply install first the coq-hott library and coq-equations will install its HoTT variant. From source, first
install coq-hott and then use:
./configure.sh --enable-hott
This will compile the HoTT library variant in addition to the standard one.
Then, after make install, one can import the plugin in Coq, using:
From Equations Require Import HoTT.All.
