SGGS Theorem Proving: an Exposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in expository style the main ideas in SGGS, which stands for Semantically-Guided GoalSensitive theorem proving. SGGS uses sequences of constrained clauses to represent models, instance generation to go from a candidate model to the next, and resolution as well as other inferences to repair the model. SGGS is refutationally complete for first-order logic, DPLL-style model based, semantically guided, goal sensitive, and proof confluent, which appears to be a rare combination of features. In this paper we describe the core of SGGS in a narrative style, emphasizing ideas and trying to keep technicalities to a minimum, in order to advertise it to builders and users of theorem provers.

Semantically-guided goal-sensitive theorem proving
We present a new inference system for first-order logic, named SGGS, which stands for semantically-guided goal-sensitive theorem proving. SGGS generalizes the model-based reasoning of the Davis-Putnam-Logemann-Loveland (DPLL) procedure. Starting from an initial interpretation, which makes it semantically guided, SGGS uses a sequence of constrained clauses to represent a current model, instance ...
متن کاملConstraint Manipulation in SGGS
SGGS (Semantically-Guided Goal-Sensitive theorem proving) is a clausal theorem-proving method, with a seemingly rare combination of properties: it is first order, DPLL-style model based, semantically guided, goal sensitive, and proof confluent. SGGS works with constrained clauses, and uses a sequence of constrained clauses to represent a tentative model of the given set of clauses. A basic buil...
متن کاملA short introduction to two approaches in formal verification of security protocols: model checking and theorem proving
In this paper, we shortly review two formal approaches in verification of security protocols; model checking and theorem proving. Model checking is based on studying the behavior of protocols via generating all different behaviors of a protocol and checking whether the desired goals are satisfied in all instances or not. We investigate Scyther operational semantics as n example of this...
متن کاملStein’s method, Malliavin calculus, Dirichlet forms and the fourth moment theorem
The fourth moment theorem provides error bounds in the central limit theorem for elements of Wiener chaos of any order. It was proved by Nourdin and Peccati [31] using Stein’s method and the Malliavin calculus. It was also proved by Azmoodeh, Campese and Poly [3] using Stein’s method and Dirichlet forms. This paper is an exposition on the connections between Stein’s method and the Malliavin cal...
متن کاملVan Der Waerden's Theorem: Exposition and Generalizations
as a, a + p1(d), a + p2(d), . . . , a + pk−1(d) where pi(d) = id. Why these functions? We ponder replacing pi with other functions. The following remarkable theorem was first proved by Bergelson and Leibman [1]. They proved it by first proving the polynomial version of the Hales-Jewitt Theorem [2] (see Section 4 for a statement and proof of the original Hales-Jewitt Theorem), from which Theorem...
