Small Proof Witnesses for LF
نویسندگان
چکیده
We instrument a higher-order logic programming search procedure to generate and check small proof witnesses for the Twelf system, an implementation of the logical framework LF. In particular, we extend and generalize ideas from Necula and Rahul [16] in two main ways: 1) We consider the full fragment of LF including dependent types and higher-order terms and 2) We study the use of caching of sub-proofs to further compact proof representations. Our experimental results demonstrate that many of the restrictions in previous work can be overcome and generating and checking small witnesses within Twelf provides valuable addition to its general safety infrastructure.

Materials and methods. 51 patients, who were ill with generalized peritonitis, went through a prospective randomized research. They were randomized on groups depending on the objective score SAPS (1984): 29 survived people (53%) and 22 people with favorable end (47%). Intensive care and surgical tactics standardized patients. Lactoferrin (LF) as modulator of systemic inflammatory response (SIR)...
متن کاملSurvey on Proof Complexity
In this survey, I will discuss two results in proof complexity. Proof complexity studies the efficiency of particular formal proof systems for proving particular formulas. The work in this area has focused on propositional logic, since results about it have a direct connection to central questions in complexity theory. In particular, we know that NP = co − NP if there is a proof system that has...

This thesis studies the cooperation between the Coq proof assistant and external provers through proof witnesses. We concentrate on two di erent kinds of provers that can return certi cates: rst, answers coming from SAT and SMT solvers can be checked in Coq to increase both the con dence in these solvers and Coq's automation; second, theorems established in interactive provers based on Higher-O...
متن کاملEecient Representation and Validation of Proofs
This paper presents a logical framework derived from the Edinburgh Logical Framework (LF) 5] that can be used to obtain compact representations of proofs and eecient proof checkers. These are essential ingredients of any application that manipulates proofs as rst-class objects, such as a Proof-Carrying Code 11] system, in which proofs are used to allow the easy validation of properties of safet...
