Abstract

Normalization procedures are an important component of most automated theorem provers. In this work we present an adaption of advanced first-order normalization techniques for higher-order theorem proving which have been bundled in a stand-alone tool. It can be used in conjunction with any higher-order theorem prover, even though the implemented techniques are primarily targeted on resolution-based provers. We evaluated the normalization procedure on selected problems of the TPTP using multiple HO ATPs. The results show a significant performance increase, in both speed and proving capabilities, for some of the tested problem instances.

Fußnoten
1
With #CNF we denote the number of clauses generated by transforming the given formula into clause normal form.
 
2
A comprehensive presentation of the different TPTP problem domains and their application domain can be found at http://​www.​cs.​miami.​edu/​~tptp/​cgi-bin/​SeeTPTP?​Category=​Documents&​File=​OverallSynopsis.
 
3
The average time results for normalization procedure \(N_3\) are in nearly all cases within a range of \(0.1\,\%\) of the results for \(N_1\). Likewise results apply for \(N_4\) and \(N_2\).
 
4
The prover LEO-II, for example, is able to detect such (sub-)formulas and to replace them by primitive equalities \(a = b\).
