Extended Euclid algorithm.


Euclid's algorithm to compute the gcd mainly relies on the following property.

Lemma Zis_gcd_for_euclid :
 forall a b d q:Z, Zis_gcd b (a - q * b) d -> Zis_gcd a b d.
Proof.

We implement the extended version of Euclid's algorithm, i.e. the one computing Bezout's coefficients as it computes the gcd. We follow the algorithm given in Knuth's "Art of Computer Programming", vol 2, page 325.

Variables a b : Z.

The specification of Euclid's algorithm is the existence of u, v and d such that ua+vb=d and (gcd a b d).

Inductive Euclid : Set :=

The recursive part of Euclid's algorithm uses well-founded recursion of non-negative integers. It maintains 6 integers u1,u2,u3,v1,v2,v3 such that the following invariant holds: u1*a+u2*b=u3 and v1*a+v2*b=v3 and gcd(u2,v3)=gcd(a,b).
