PρLog (pronounced Pē-rō-log) is an experimental tool that extends logic programming with strategic conditional transformation rules, combining Prolog with ρLog calculus. It deals with term sequences (also called hedges), transforming them by conditional rules. Transformations are nondeterministic and may yield ...

On the Complexity of Unsatisfiable Primitive Recursively defined $\Sigma_1$-Sentences
David M. Cerna
2019. [pdf]@techreport{RISC5981,
author = {David M. Cerna},
title = {{On the Complexity of Unsatisfiable Primitive Recursively defined $\Sigma_1$-Sentences}},
language = {english},
abstract = {We introduce a measure of complexity based on formula occurrence within instance proofs of an inductive statement. Our measure is closely related to {\em Herbrand Sequent length}, but instead of capturing the number of necessary term instantiations, it captures the finite representational difficulty of a recursive sequence of proofs. We restrict ourselves to a class of unsatisfiable primitive recursively defined negation normal form first-order sentences, referred to as {\em abstract sentences}, which capture many problems of interest; for example, variants of the {\em infinitary pigeonhole principle}. This class of sentences has been particularly useful for inductive formal proof analysis and proof transformation. Together our complexity measure and abstract sentences allow use to capture a notion of {\em tractability} for state-of-the-art approaches to inductive theorem proving, in particular {\em loop discovery} and {\em tree grammar} based inductive theorem provers. We provide a complexity analysis of an important abstract sentence, and discuss the analysis of a few related sentences, based on the infinitary pigeonhole principle which we conjecture represent the upper limits of tractability and foundation of intractability with respect to the current approaches.},

Next, we develop an algorithm, which takes anarbitrary idempotent anti-unification problem and computes a representation of its solution set inthe form of a regular tree grammar. The algorithm does not depend on the number of idempotentfunction symbols in the input terms. The language generated by the grammar is the minimalcomplete set of generalizations of the given anti-unification problem, which implies that idem-potent anti-unification is infinitary.},

abstract = {Peano arithmetic, as formalized by Gentzen, can be presented as an axiom extensionof the LK-calculus with equality and an additional inference rule formalizing induction.While this formalism was enough (with the addition of some meta-theoretic argumentation)to show the consistency of arithmetic, alternative formulations of induction such asthe infinitary ω-rule and cyclic reasoning provide insight into the structure of arithmeticproofs obfuscated by the inference rule formulation of induction. For example, questionsconcerning the elimination of cut, consistency, and proof shape are given more clarity. Thesame could be said for functional interpretations of arithmetic such as system T whichenumerates the recursive functions provably total by arithmetic. A key feature of thesevariations on the formalization of arithmetic is that they get somewhat closer to formalizingthe concept of induction directly using the inferences of the LK-calculus, albeit byadding extra machinery at the meta-level. In this work we present a recursive sequentcalculus for arithmetic which can be syntactically translated into Gentzen formalism ofarithmetic and allows proof normalization to the LK-calculus with equality.},

Experiments with Automatic Proofs in Elementary Analysis

Technical report no. 18-06 in RISC Report Series, Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC), Johannes Kepler University Linz, Schloss Hagenberg, 4232 Hagenberg, Austria. April 2018. Work in progress. [pdf] [zip] [pdf]@techreport{RISC5692,
author = {T. Jebelean},
title = {{Experiments with Automatic Proofs in Elementary Analysis}},
language = {english},
abstract = {Combining methods from satisfiability checking with methods from symbolic computation promises to solve challenging problems in various areas of theory and application. We look at the basically equivalent problem of proving statements directly in a non--clausal setting, when additional information on the underlying domain is available in form of specific properties and algorithms.We demonstrate on some concrete examples several heuristic techniques for the automation of natural--style proving of statements from elementary analysis. The purpose of this work in progress is to generate proofs similar to those produced by humans, by combining automated reasoning methods with techniques from computer algebra.Our techniques include: the S-decomposition method for formulae with alternating quantifiers, quantifier elimination by cylindrical algebraic decomposition, analysis of terms behavior in zero, bounding the bounds, rewriting of expressions involving absolute value, algebraic manipulations, and identification of equal terms under unknown functions.These techniques are being implemented in the {\em Theorema} system and are able to construct automatically natural--style proofs for numerous examples including: convergence of sequences, limits and continuity of functions, uniform continuity, and other.},
