Section Elt.
Variable elt : Type.
Implicit Types m r : t elt.
(** * AVL trees *)
(** [avl s] : [s] is a properly balanced AVL tree, i.e. for any node the heights of the two children differ by at most 2 *)
Inductive avl : t elt -> Prop :=
| RBLeaf : avl (Leaf _)
| RBNode : forall x e l r h,
avl l ->
avl r ->
-(2) <= height l - height r <= 2 ->
h = max (height l) (height r) + 1 ->
avl (Node l x e r h).
(** * Automation and dedicated tactics about [avl]. *)
Hint Constructors avl : core.
Ltac avl_nn_hyp H :=
let nz := fresh "nz" in assert (nz := height_non_negative H).
Ltac avl_nn h :=
let t := type of h in
match type of t with
| Prop => avl_nn_hyp h
| _ => match goal with H : avl h |- _ => avl_nn_hyp H end
end.
(* Repeat the previous tactic. Drawback: need to clear the [avl _] hyps ... Thank you Ltac *)
Ltac avl_nns :=
match goal with
| H:avl _ |- _ => avl_nn_hyp H; clear H; avl_nns
| _ => idtac

Lemma create_height :
forall l x e r, avl l -> avl r ->  -(2) <= height l - height r <= 2 ->
height (create l x e r) = max (height l) (height r) + 1.
