Equality on natural numbers

Local Open Scope nat_scope.

Implicit Types m n x y : nat.

Propositional equality


Fixpoint eq_nat n m : Prop :=
  match n, m with
    | O, O => True
    | O, S _ => False
    | S _, O => False
    | S n1, S m1 => eq_nat n1 m1
  end.

Theorem eq_nat_refl : forall n, eq_nat n n.
Hint Resolve eq_nat_refl: arith v62.
