Research on CoQ10 use for specific conditions and activities shows. Heart conditions. CoQ10 has been shown to improve symptoms of congestive heart failure. Although findings are mixed, CoQ10 might help reduce blood pressure. What are the risks of taking CoQ10? Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a nutrient that occurs naturally in the body. CoQ10 is also in many foods we eat. CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant, which protects cells from. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that your body produces naturally. Your cells use CoQ10 for growth and maintenance. Levels of CoQ10 in your body decrease as you age. CoQ10 levels have also been found to be lower in people with certain conditions, such as heart disease, and in those who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins.

Coq Au Vin

Coq is an interactive theorem prover first released in 1989. It allows for expressing mathematical assertions, mechanically checks proofs of these assertions, helps find formal proofs, and extracts a certified program from the constructive proof of its formal specification. Coq works within the theory of the calculus of inductive constructions, a derivative of the calculus of constructions. Coq is not an automated theorem prover but includes automatic theorem proving tactics (procedures) and various decisionprocedures.

Coquette

The Association for Computing Machinery awarded Thierry Coquand, Gérard Huet, Christine Paulin-Mohring, Bruno Barras, Jean-Christophe Filliâtre, Hugo Herbelin, Chetan Murthy, Yves Bertot, and Pierre Castéran with the 2013 ACM Software System Award for Coq.

Coq is named after its principal developer, Thierry Coquand.[citation needed]

Overview[edit]

When viewed as a programming language, Coq implements a dependently typedfunctional programming language;[3] when viewed as a logical system, it implements a higher-ordertype theory. The development of Coq has been supported since 1984 by INRIA, now in collaboration with École Polytechnique, University of Paris-Sud, Paris Diderot University, and CNRS. In the 1990s, ENS Lyon was also part of the project. The development of Coq was initiated by Gérard Huet and Thierry Coquand, and more than 40 people, mainly researchers, have contributed features to the core system since its inception. The implementation team has successively been coordinated by Gérard Huet, Christine Paulin-Mohring, Hugo Herbelin, and Matthieu Sozeau. Coq is mainly implemented in OCaml with a bit of C. The core system can be extended by way of a plug-in mechanism.[4]

The name coq means 'rooster' in French and stems from a French tradition of naming research development tools after animals.[5] Up until 1991, Coquand was implementing a language called the Calculus of Constructions and it was simply called CoC at this time. In 1991, a new implementation based on the extended Calculus of Inductive Constructions was started and the name was changed from CoC to Coq in an indirect reference to Coquand, who developed the Calculus of Constructions along with Gérard Huet and contributed to the Calculus of Inductive Constructions with Christine Paulin-Mohring.[6]

Coq provides a specification language called Gallina[7] ('hen' in Latin, Spanish, Italian and Catalan).Programs written in Gallina have the weak normalization property, implying that they always terminate.This is a distinctive property of the language, since infinite loops (non-terminating programs) are common in other programming languages,[8]and is one way to avoid the halting problem.

Four color theorem and SSReflect extension[edit]

Georges Gonthier of Microsoft Research in Cambridge, England and Benjamin Werner of INRIA used Coq to create a surveyable proof of the four color theorem, which was completed in 2005.[9] Their work led to the development of the SSReflect ('Small Scale Reflection') package, which was a significant extension to Coq.[10] Despite its name, most of the features added to Coq by SSReflect are general-purpose features and are not limited to the computational reflection style of proof. These features include:

  • Additional convenient notations for irrefutable and refutable pattern matching, on inductive types with one or two constructors
  • Implicit arguments for functions applied to zero arguments, which is useful when programming with higher-order functions
  • Concise anonymous arguments
  • An improved set tactic with more powerful matching
  • Support for reflection

SSReflect 1.11 is freely available, dual-licensed under the open source CeCILL-B or CeCILL-2.0 license, and compatible with Coq 8.11.[11]

Applications[edit]

Coq
  • CompCert: an optimizing compiler for almost all of the C programming language which is largely programmed and proved in Coq.
  • Disjoint-set data structure: correctness proof in Coq was published in 2007.[12]
  • Feit–Thompson theorem: formal proof using Coq was completed in September 2012.[13]
  • Four color theorem: formal proof using Coq was completed in 2005.[9]
