Abstract

Automated deduction uses computation to perform symbolic logical reasoning. It has been a core technology for program verification from the very beginning. Satisfiability solvers for propositional and first-order logic significantly automate the task of deductive program verification. We introduce some of the basic deduction techniques used in software and hardware verification and outline the theoretical and engineering issues in building deductive verification tools. Beyond verification, deduction techniques can also be used to support a variety of applications including planning, program optimization, and program synthesis.

Automated Deduction in Gödel Logic

This article addresses the deduction problem of a formula from a countable theory in the first-order Gödel logic. We generalise the well-known hyperresolution principle for deduction in Gödel logic. Our approach is based on translation of a formula to ...
Peirce's rule in natural deduction

In stark contrast to Natural Deduction for Intuitionistic Logic, Natural Deduction for Classical Logic suffers from some well-known limitations: although normalisation can be proved, the standard proof of Prawitz (Natural deduction. A proof Theoretical ...
First-Order Automated Reasoning with Theories: When Deduction Modulo Theory Meets Practice
Abstract
We discuss the practical results obtained by the first generation of automated theorem provers based on Deduction modulo theory. In particular, we demonstrate the concrete improvements such a framework can bring to first-order theorem provers with ...
