Formally verified arithmetic

Hello. I am conducting an informal survey on formally verified arithmetic
in computer proof assistants. I am interested in receiving short
statements about the state of the art in the various implementations.

This may concern several aspects:
* number theory (chinese remainder, fund. th. of arithmetic, etc)
* rational arithmetic
* axiomatisations of reals (Landau, etc)
* implementations of decision procedures (Tarski, Presburger, inf-sup, ...)
* constructive analysis
* arbitrary precision packages for reals (Boehm, Vuillemin, ...)
* floating-point algorithms validation

Please send your data (preferably one or 2 pages of ascii or tex source,
no gigabytes of libraries or huge ps documents) to Gerard.Huet@inria.fr

After all, if we are ever going to share mathematical libraries, we might
as well start with arithmetic, which everyone needs, for math or programming.

Thank you for your help.
I shall summarize your sendings on this list.
