چکیده

Current techniques and tools for automated termination analysis of term rewrite systems (TRSs) are already very powerful. However, they fail for algorithms whose termination is essentially due to an inductive argument. Therefore, we show how to couple one of the most popular techniques for TRS termination (the dependency pair method) with inductive theorem proving. As confirmed by the implementation of our new approach in the tool AProVE, now TRS termination techniques are also successful on this important class of algorithms.

Termination Analysis by Dependency Pairs and Inductive Theorem Proving

Current techniques and tools for automated termination analysis of term rewrite systems (TRSs) are already very powerful. However, they fail for algorithms whose termination is essentially due to an inductive argument. Therefore, we show how to couple the dependency pair method for TRS termination with inductive theorem proving. As confirmed by the implementation of our new approach in the tool...

Full First-Order Sequent and Tableau Calculi With Preservation of Solutions and the Liberalized δ-Rule but Without Skolemization

We present a combination of raising, explicit variable dependency representation, the liberalized δrule, and preservation of solutions for first-order deductive theorem proving. Our main motivation is to provide the foundation for our work on inductive theorem proving.

How to Prove Inductive Theorems? QUODLIBET!

QUODLIBET is a tactic-based inductive theorem proving system that meets today’s standard requirements for theorem provers such as a command interpreter, a sophisticated graphical user interface, and a carefully programmed inference machine kernel that guarantees soundness. In essence, it is the synergetic combination of the features presented in the following sections that makes QUODLIBET a sys...

Toward a Super Duper Hardware Tactic

We present techniques for automating many of the tedious aspects of hardware veriication in a higher order logic theorem proving environment. We employ two complementary approaches. The rst involves intelligent tactics which incorporate many of the smaller steps currently applied by the user. The second uses hardware combinators to partially automate inductive proofs for iterated hardware struc...
