DFS in graph - soundness of the whitepath theorem

The graph is represented by a pair (vertices, successor)

• vertices : this constant is the set of graph vertices
• successor : this function gives for each vertex the set of vertices directly joinable from it

The algorithm is depth-first-search in the graph. It picks randomly the son on which recursive call is done.
This theorem refers to the whitepath theorem in Cormen et al.
The new visited vertices are reachable by a white path w.r.t the old visited set.
Quasi automatic proof, with inductive definition of white paths, mutable set of visited vertices, black/white color. The proof is similar to the functional one. One loop invariant is proved in Coq.

Notice that this proof uses paths.
