We propose a method for extending a bounded resolution proof to an unbounded inductive proof. More specifically, given a resolution proof that a state machine beginning at an initial state satisfies some property at cycle
k
, we show that the existence of a
Δ
-invariant cut implies that the property holds for cycles
k

Δ

Δ
, etc. We suggest a linear algorithm for identifying such
Δ
-extendible proofs and develop the required theory for covering all cycles by
Δ
-extendible proofs. To expose
Δ
-invariant cuts, we develop an efficient proof manipulation algorithm that rearranges the proof by the natural temporal order. We demonstrate the applicability of our techniques on a few real-life examples.
