Hoare Semigroups
Georg Struth · Mathematical Structures in Computer Science · 2017
A semigroup-based setting for developing Hoare logics and refinement calculi is introduced together with procedures for translating between verification and refinement proofs. A new Hoare logic for multirelations and two minimalist generic verification and refinement components, implemented in an interactive theorem prover, are presented as applications that benefit from this generalisation.
