First-order automated reasoning with theories: when deduction modulo theory meets practice

Résumé

We discuss the practical results obtained by the first generation of automated theorem provers based on Deduction modulo theory. In particular, we demonstrate the concrete improvements such a framework can bring to first-order theorem provers with the introduction of a rewrite feature. Deduction modulo theory is an extension of predicate calculus with rewriting both on terms and propositions. It is well suited for proof search in theories because it turns many axioms into rewrite rules. We introduce two automated reasoning systems that have been built to extend other provers with Deduction modulo theory. The first one is Zenon Modulo, a tableau-based tool able to deal with polymorphic first-order logic with equality, while the second one is iProverModulo, a resolution-based system dealing with first-order logic with equality. We also provide some experimental results run on benchmarks that show the beneficial impact of the extension on these two tools and their underlying proof search methods. Finally, we describe the two backends of these systems to the Dedukti universal proof checker, which also relies on Deduction modulo theory, and which allows us to verify the proofs produced by these tools.
