SIMP_RULE : simpset -> thm list -> thm -> thm
STRUCTURE
SYNOPSIS
Simplifies the conclusion of a theorem according to the given simpset and theorem rewrites.
LIBRARY
simpLib
DESCRIPTION
SIMP_RULE simplifies the conclusion of a theorem, adding the given theorems to the simpset parameter as rewrites. The way in which terms are transformed as a part of simplification is described in the entry for SIMP_CONV.
FAILURE
Never fails, but may diverge.
EXAMPLE
The following also demonstrates the higher order rewriting possible with simplification (FORALL_AND_THM states |- (!x. P x /\ Q x) = (!x. P x) /\ (!x. Q x)):
- SIMP_RULE bool_ss [boolTheory.FORALL_AND_THM]
            (ASSUME (Term`!x. P (x + 1) /\ R x /\ x < y`));
> val it =  [.] |- (!x. P (x + 1)) /\ (!x. R x) /\ (!x. x < y) : thm

COMMENTS
SIMP_RULE ss thmlist is equivalent to CONV_RULE (SIMP_CONV ss thmlist).
