Research Abstract |
Our focus in this project is inductive theorem proving based on term rewriting systems. We are, in particular, interested in rewriting induction methods. We extended rewriting induction to enhance provability of non-orientable conjectures, and we implemented an inductive theorem prover based on our extension. Lemma discovery is an important aspect of inductive theorem proving and we generalized a sound generalization technique and gave sound divergence critic, which are useful when the rewriting induction is equipped with the disproving mechanism. We propose rewriting induction framework to incorporate different lemma generation methods. We also investigate automated confluence proving, as it is a necessary property to extend rewriting induction with the disproving mechanism. We gave new techniques to prove confluence and implemented a confluence prover.
