Verifying a Sequent Calculus Prover for First-Order Logic with Functions in Isabelle/HOL

Abstract

We describe the design, implementation and verification of an automated theorem prover for first-order logic with functions. The proof search procedure is based on sequent calculus and we formally verify its soundness and completeness in Isabelle/HOL using an existing abstract framework for coinductive proof trees. Our analytic completeness proof covers both open and closed formulas. Since our deterministic prover considers only the subset of terms relevant to proving a given sequent, we do so as well when building a countermodel from a failed proof. Finally, we formally connect our prover with the proof system and semantics of the existing SeCaV system. In particular, the prover can generate human-readable SeCaV proofs which are also machine-verifiable proof certificates.
