list - 非空列表comonad

Question

我一直在思考 comonad，直觉认为非空列表(“完整列表”)是一个 comonad。我在 Idris 中构建了一个合理的实现，并致力于证明 comonad laws但一直未能证明其中一个定律的递归分支。我如何证明这一点(?i_do_not_know_how_to_prove_this_if_its_provable 漏洞)——或者我认为我的实现是一个有效的 comonad 是错误的(我查看了 Haskell NonEmpty comonad 实现，它似乎与矿)？

module FullList

%default total

data FullList : Type -> Type where
  Single : a -> FullList a
  Cons : a -> FullList a -> FullList a

extract : FullList a -> a
extract (Single x) = x
extract (Cons x _) = x

duplicate : FullList a -> FullList (FullList a)
duplicate = Single 

extend : (FullList a -> b) -> FullList a -> FullList b
extend f (Single x) = Single (f (Single x))
extend f (Cons x y) = Cons (f (Cons x y)) (extend f y)

extend_and_extract_are_inverse : (l : FullList a) -> extend FullList.extract l = l
extend_and_extract_are_inverse (Single x) = Refl
extend_and_extract_are_inverse (Cons x y) = rewrite extend_and_extract_are_inverse y in Refl

comonad_law_1 : (l : FullList a) -> extract (FullList.extend f l) = f l
comonad_law_1 (Single x) = Refl
comonad_law_1 (Cons x y) = Refl

nesting_extend : (l : FullList a) -> extend f (extend g l) = extend (\x => f (extend g x)) l
nesting_extend (Single x) = Refl
nesting_extend (Cons x y) = ?i_do_not_know_how_to_prove_this_if_its_provable

请注意，您的目标具有以下形式:

Cons (f (Cons (g (Cons x y)) (extend g y))) (extend f (extend g y)) =
Cons (f (Cons (g (Cons x y)) (extend g y))) (extend (\x1 => f (extend g x1)) y)

您基本上需要证明尾部相等:

extend f (extend g y) = extend (\x1 => f (extend g x1)) y

但这正是归纳假设 (nesting_extend y) 所说的!因此，证明非常简单:

nesting_extend : (l : FullList a) -> extend f (extend g l) = extend (f . extend g) l
nesting_extend (Single x) = Refl
nesting_extend (Cons x y) = cong $ nesting_extend y

我使用了同余引理 cong :

cong : (a = b) -> f a = f b

表示任何函数 f将等项映射为等项。

此处 Idris 推断 f是Cons (f (Cons (g (Cons x y)) (extend g y))) , 其中f里面Cons指nesting_extend的参数 f .
