Induction is a pervasive tool in computer science and mathematics
for defining objects and reasoning on them. Coinduction is the dual
of induction and as such it brings in quite different tools. Today,
it is widely used in computer science, but also in other fields,
including artificial intelligence, cognitive science, mathematics,
modal logics, philosophy and physics. The best known instance of
coinduction is bisimulation, mainly employed to define and prove
equalities among potentially infinite objects: processes, streams,
non-well-founded sets, etc. This book presents bisimulation and
coinduction: the fundamental concepts and techniques and the
duality with induction. Each chapter contains exercises and
selected solutions, enabling students to connect theory with
practice. A special emphasis is placed on bisimulation as a
behavioural equivalence for processes. Thus the book serves as an
introduction to models for expressing processes (such as process
calculi) and to the associated techniques of operational and
algebraic analysis.
