Proof by exhaustion
Proof by exhaustion, also known as proof by cases, perfect induction, or the brute force method, is a method of mathematical proof in which the statement to be proved is split into a finite number of cases and each case is checked to see if the proposition in question holds. A proof by exhaustion contains two stages: ⁕A proof that the cases are exhaustive; i.e., that each instance of the statement to be proved matches the conditions of one of the cases. ⁕A proof of each of the cases. In the Curry–Howard isomorphism, proof by exhaustion and case analysis are related to ML-style pattern matching.
