  2. 1. First-Order Logic and Classical Theism : Toward Logical Reorientation

    Author : Anders Kraal; Eberhard Herrmann; Mikael Stenmark; Simo Knuuttila; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; classical theism; divine simplicity; divine attributes; God; Augustine; Thomas Aquinas; first-order logic; formalization; argument-function analysis; quantifier analysis; bivalence; natural deduction; truth-bearer; inference; inference rule; logical validity; logical pluralism; logical monism; G. Frege; B. Russell; L. Wittgenstein; R. Carnap; J. Maritain; J. Salamucha; J. Bocheński; W.V.O. Quine.; Religion Theology; Religionsvetenskap Teologi;

    Abstract : This inquiry seeks an answer to the question whether classical theistic doctrines about the nature of God are amenable to formal analysis in terms of standard first-order logic. It is argued that due to the conceptual impact of classical theism’s doctrine of divine simplicity there is a good reason for answering this question in the negative. READ MORE

  4. 2. Automated Theorem Proving with Extensions of First-Order Logic

    Author : Evgenii Kotelnikov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; clausal normal form; Program Verification; automated theorem proving; program analysis; TPTP; Vampire; first-order logic;

    Abstract : Automated theorem provers are computer programs that check whether a logical conjecture follows from a set of logical statements. The conjecture and the statements are expressed in the language of some formal logic, such as first-order logic. READ MORE

  5. 3. Deductive Program Analysis with First-Order Theorem Provers

    Author : Simon Robillard; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automated theorem proving; Program semantics; Program Verification; Program analysis; Automated reasoning; First-order logic;

    Abstract : Software is ubiquitous in nearly all aspects of human life, including safety-critical activities. It is therefore crucial to analyze programs and provide strong guarantees that they perform as expected. READ MORE

  6. 4. Stålmarck's Method for Automated Theorem Proving in First Order Logic

    Author : Magnus Björk; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; automated theorem proving; Stålmarck s method; tableaux; first order logic;

    Abstract : We present an extension of Stålmarck's method to classical first order predicate logic. Stålmarck's method is a satisfiability checking method for propositional logic, and it resembles tableaux and KE. Its most distinctive feature is the dilemma rule, which is an extended branching rule, that allows branches to be recombined. READ MORE

  7. 5. Automated Theorem Proving in a First-Order Logic with First class Boolean Sort

    Author : Evgenii Kotelnikov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; first-order logic; program analysis; program verification; TPTP; automated theorem proving; Vampire;

    Abstract : Automated theorem proving is one of the central areas of computer mathematics. It studies methods and techniques for establishing validity of mathematical problems using a computer. The problems are expressed in a variety of formal logics, including first-order logic. READ MORE
