What problem does it solve?

Contraposition-based proofs in Lean 4: convert implications to their contrapositive to obtain a more concrete hypothesis and complete the proof.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Convert P → Q into ¬Q → ¬P and apply standard Lean 4 tactics (contrapose/contrapose!, push_neg) to discharge goals.
  • Works well when the negation of the conclusion yields a stronger or more usable assumption, such as in inequalities, divisibility, or connectivity arguments.
  • Provides a Lean 4 template and worked example showing a typical contrapositive proof flow.

Quick Start

Apply contraposition in Lean 4 to convert P → Q into ¬Q → ¬P and complete the proof from the negated premise.
