Self-Formalisation of Higher-Order Logic
2016
Journal of automated reasoning
We present a mechanised semantics for higher-order logic (HOL), and a proof of soundness for the inference system, including the rules for making definitions, implemented by the kernel of the HOL Light ...
Soundness of the logic extends to soundness of a theorem prover, because we also show that a synthesised implementation of the kernel in CakeML refines the inference system. ...
Acknowledgements We thank Mike Gordon for helpful comments on drafts of this paper. We are grateful to John Harrison and Freek Wiedijk for providing inspiration for this project. ...

Analytic Tableaux for Higher-Order Logic with Choice
2011
Journal of automated reasoning
While many higher-order interactive theorem provers include a choice operator, higher-order automated theorem provers so far have not. ...
In order to support automated reasoning in the presence of a choice operator, we present a cut-free ground tableau calculus for Church's simple type theory with choice. ...
Introduction Interactive theorem provers based on classical higher-order logic ( e.g., Isabelle-HOL [26], HOL88 [17], HOL-light [18], ProofPower [22] and HOL4 [28]) build in the axiom of choice by including ...

Partial and Nested Recursive Function Definitions in Higher-order Logic
2009
Journal of automated reasoning
Based on inductive definitions, we develop a tool that automates the definition of partial recursive functions in higher-order logic (HOL) and provides appropriate proof rules for reasoning about them. ...
Termination is modeled by an inductive domain predicate which follows the structure of the recursion. ...
Jasmin Christian Blanchette, Amine Chaieb, Norbert Schirmer, and Christian Urban commented on drafts of this paper. The anonymous referees gave valuable feedback. ...

Verifying Termination and Reduction Properties about Higher-Order Logic Programs
2005
Journal of automated reasoning
We describe two checkers for verifying termination and reduction properties about higher-order logic programs. ...
At the heart of both checkers lies an inference system to reason about structural properties which are described by higher-order subterm relations. ...
Several automated methods to prove termination have been developed for first-order functional and logic programs in the past years (for example [3, 20, 9, 18, 31, 35] ). ...

Model Checking the First-Order Fragment of Higher-Order Fixpoint Logic
[chapter]
Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning
We present a model checking algorithm for HFL1, the firstorder fragment of Higher-Order Fixpoint Logic. ...
This logic is capable of expressing many interesting properties which are not regular and, hence, not expressible in the modal μ-calculus. ...
Here we use the (branching temporal) fixpoint logic HFL1, the first-order fragment of Higher-Order Fixpoint Logic (HFL) [9] . ...

Deduction Beyond First-Order Logic (Dagstuhl Seminar 17371)
2018
Dagstuhl Reports
The aim of the seminar was to bring together first-order automated reasoning experts and researchers working on deduction methods and tools that go beyond first-order logic. ...
Other practical problems need a mixture of first-order proof search and some more advanced reasoning (for instance, about higher-order formulas), or simply higher-level reasoning steps. ...
The proposed approach consists of over-approximations, underapproximations and their combination. ...
