ue to a lack of abstraction in the formalization of deductive mechanisms involved in programming reasoning tools for the development of program synthesizers are not yet available. ...
Logic programming provides a uniform framework in which all aspects of explanation-based generalization and learning may be defined and carried out, but first-order Horn logic i...
The method of logical relations is a classic technique for proving the equivalence of higher-order programs that implement the same observable behavior but employ different intern...

We describe a system for the synthesis of logic programs from specifications based on higher-order logical descriptions of appropriate refinement operations. The system has been ...
We introduce a Hoare logic for higher-order functional languages with control operators such as callcc. The key idea is to build the assertion language and proof rules around an e...
