The last decade has seen a revival of interest in pebble games in the context of proof complexity. Pebbling has proven to be a useful tool for studying resolution-based proof syst...
Abstract. This paper introduces matching logic, a novel framework for defining axiomatic semantics for programming languages, inspired from operational semantics. Matching logic sp...
The ability to use a polynomial iterpretation to prove termination of a rewrite system naturally prompts the question as to what restriction on complexity this imposes. The main r...
A new positive-unit theorem-proving procedure for equational Horn clauses is presented. It uses a term ordering to restrict paxamodulation to potentiallymaximal sides of equations...
g to the well-known “LCF approach” of secure inferences as abstract datatype constructors in ML [16]; explicit proof terms are also available [8]. Isabelle/Isar provides sophis...
