CM-Strategy: A Methodology for Inductive Theorem Proving or Constructive Well-Generalized Proofs

Abstract

The main problem, when automatically proving theorems by Induction is the problem of strategy, or, how to automatically direct deductions. This is not trivial, and, at present, only a mixture of complicated strategies have been investigated. The essential contribution of this paper is therefore the proposing of a new strategy for inductive theorem proving, inspired by a new mecanism called Constructive Matching (CM), and used for automatic programming [f04]. We also propose a new method for the recognition of predicates and functions, necessary to prove a theorem by our approach, that are not defined in the knowledge-base (invention of new operators). Finally, we illustrate the obtainement of a suitable generalized lemma necessary for the proof.
