We present a general automated proof procedure, based upon
cyclic proof
, for inductive entailments in separation logic. Our procedure has been implemented via a deep embedding of cyclic proofs in the HOL Light theorem prover. Experiments show that our mechanism is able to prove a number of non-trivial entailments involving inductive predicates.
