We propose a procedure for automated implicit inductive theorem proving for equational specifications made of rewrite rules with conditions and constraints. The constraints are int...
We introduce the notion of bounded nondeterminism for logic programs and queries. A program and a query have bounded nondeterminism if there are finitely many refutations for the...
In 1973, Parikh proved a speed-up theorem conjectured by G¨odel 37 years before: there exist arithmetical formulæ that are provable in first order arithmetic, but whose shorter ...
Ordinals form the basis for termination proofs in ACL2. Currently, ACL2 uses a rather inefficient representation for the ordinals up to 0 and provides limited support for reasoning...
Polynomial interpretations are a useful technique for proving termination of term rewrite systems. In an automated setting, termination tools are concerned with parametric polynomi...
