(Redirected from ALF (theorem prover)) Structure editor for monomorphic Martin-Löf type theory For the programming language, see Algebraic Logic Functional programming language.

ALF ("Another logical framework") is a structure editor for monomorphic Martin-Löf type theory developed at Chalmers University. It is a predecessor of the Alfa, Agda, Cayenne and Coq proof assistants and dependently typed programming languages. It was the first language to support inductive families and dependent pattern matching.
