This lecture covers the mechanization of the textbook proof of Huffman's algorithm, focusing on Huffman coding, optimal solutions, and functional implementation. It discusses the concepts of leaf and inner nodes, basic auxiliary functions, and intermediary lemmas. The lecture concludes with the formalization of the proof, custom induction rules, and the proposed extension of the proof's scope to applications.
