Automated Mathematical Induction
Proofs by induction are important in many computer science and artiicial intelligence applications , in particular, in program veriication and speciication systems. We present a new method to prove (and disprove) automatically inductive properties. Given a set of axioms, a well-suited induction scheme is constructed automatically. We call such an induction scheme a test set. Then, for proving a...
متن کامل11 Mathematical Induction 12
Before presenting the details of the principle of mathematical induction let’s understand the situations to which it applies. We’ve seen that to prove a universal assertion, we start by setting up the scenario that represents the hypothesis of the assertion. This scenario involves certain hypothetical objects, and certain assumptions. We then use the information of the scenario to work towards ...

متن کاملMathematical Induction Made
Several concise formulations of mathematical induction are presented and proven equivalent. The formulations are expressed in variable-free relation algebra and thus are in terms of relations only, without mentioning the related objects. It is shown that the induction principle in this form lends itself very well for use in calculational proofs. As a non-trivial example a proof of a generalisat...
متن کاملAutomata-Driven Automated Induction
This work investigates inductive theorem proving techniques for rst-order functions whose meaning and domains can be speciied by Horn Clauses built up from the equality and nitely many unary membership predicates. In contrast with other works in the area, constructors are not assumed to be free. Techniques originating from tree automata are used to describe ground constructor terms in normal fo...
