Title: Extensions to the Comprehensive Framework for Saturation Theorem Proving
Authors: Jasmin Blanchette and Sophie Tourret
Submission date: 2020-08-25
Abstract: This Isabelle/HOL formalization extends the AFP entry Saturation_Framework with the following contributions:
  • an application of the framework to prove Bachmair and Ganzinger's resolution prover RP refutationally complete, which was formalized in a more ad hoc fashion by Schlichtkrull et al. in the AFP entry Ordered_Resultion_Prover;
  • generalizations of various basic concepts formalized by Schlichtkrull et al., which were needed to verify RP and could be useful to formalize other calculi, such as superposition;
  • alternative proofs of fairness (and hence saturation and ultimately refutational completeness) for the given clause procedures GC and LGC, based on invariance.
