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 ...

A Special Case of Schematic Syntactic Unification

author = {David M. Cerna},
title = {{A Special Case of Schematic Syntactic Unification}},
language = {english},
abstract = {We present a unification problem based on first-order syntactic unification which ask whether every problemin a schematically-defined sequence of unification problems isunifiable, so called loop unification. Alternatively, our problemmay be formulated as a recursive procedure calling first-ordersyntactic unification on certain bindings occurring in the solvedform resulting from unification. Loop unification is closely relatedto Narrowing as the schematic constructions can be seen as arewrite rule applied during unification, and primal grammars, aswe deal with recursive term constructions. However, loop unifi-cation relaxes the restrictions put on variables as fresh as wellas used extra variables may be introduced by rewriting. In thiswork we consider an important special case, so called semiloopunification. We provide a sufficient condition for unifiability of theentire sequence based on the structure of a sufficiently long initialsegment. It remains an open question whether this conditionis also necessary for semiloop unification and how it may beextended to loop unification.},

AlCons: Deductive Synthesis of Sorting Algorithms in Theorema

title = {{AlCons: Deductive Synthesis of Sorting Algorithms in Theorema}},
booktitle = {{Theoretical Aspects of Computing - ICTAC 2021}},
language = {english},
abstract = {We describe the principles and the implementation of AlCons (em Algorithm Constructor), a system for the automatic proof--based synthesis of sorting algorithms on lists and on binary trees, in the frame of the Theorema system. The core of the system is a dedicated prover based on specific inference rules and strategies for constructive proofs over the domains of lists and of binary trees, aimed at the automatic synthesis of sorting algorithms and their auxiliary functions from logical specifications. The specific distinctive feature of our approach is the use of multisets for expressing the fact that two lists (trees) have the same elements. This allows a more natural expression of the properties related to sorting, compared to the classical approach using the permutation relation (a list is a permutation of another). Moreover, the use of multisets leads to special inference rules and strategies which make the proofs more efficient, as for instance: expand/compress multiset terms and solve meta-variables using multiset equalities. Additionally we use a Noetherian induction strategy based on the relation induced by the strict inclusion of multisets, which facilitates the synthesis of arbitrary recursion structures, without having to indicate the recursion schemes in advance. The necessary auxiliary algorithms (like, e.g., for insertion and merging) are generated by the same principles from the synthesis conjectures that are automatically produced during the main proof, using a ``cascading" method, which in fact contributes to the automation of theory exploration. The prover is implemented in the frame of the Theorema system and works in natural style, while the generated algorithms can be immediately tested in the same system.},

title = {{Anti-unification and the Theory of Semirings}},
language = {english},
abstract = {It was recently shown that anti-unification over an equational theory consisting of only unitequations (more than one) is nullary. Such pure theories are artificial and are of little effect onpractical aspects of anti-unification. In this work, we extend these nullarity results to the theory ofsemirings, a heavily studied theory with many practical applications. Furthermore, our argumentholds over semirings with commutative multiplication and/or idempotent addition. We also cover afew open questions discussed in previous work.},

Schematic Refutations of Formula Schemata

Journal of Automated Reasoning, pp. -. 2020. 1573-0670. [doi]@article{RISC6235,

language = {english},
abstract = {Proof schemata are infinite sequences of proofs which are defined inductively. In this paper we present a general framework for schemata of terms, formulas and unifiers and define a resolution calculus for schemata of quantifier-free formulas. The new calculus generalizes and improves former approaches to schematic deduction. As an application of the method we present a schematic refutation formalizing a proof of a weak form of the pigeon hole principle.},

A Mobile Application for Self-Guided Study of Formal Reasoning

abstract = {In this work, we introduce AXolotl, a self-study aid designed to guide students through the basics of formal reasoning and term manipulation. Unlike most of the existing study aids for formal reasoning, AXolotl is an Android-based application with a simple touch-based interface. Part of the design goal was to minimize the possibility of user errors which distract from the learning process. Such as typos or inconsistent application of the provided rules. The system includes a zoomable proof viewer which displays the progress made so far and allows for storage of the completed proofs as a JPEG or LaTeX file. The software is available on the google play store and comes with a small library of problems. Additional problems may be opened in AXolotl using a simple input language. Currently, AXolotl supports problems that can be solved using rules which transform a single expression into a set of expressions. This covers educational scenarios found in our first-semester introduction to logic course and helps bridge the gap between propositional and first-order reasoning. Future developments will include rewrite rules which take a set of expressions and return a set of expressions, as well as a quantified first-order extension.},
