Automated Reasoning and Presentation Support for Formalizing Mathematics in Mizar
This paper presents a combination of several automated reasoning and proof
presentation tools with the Mizar system for formalization of mathematics. The
combination forms an online service called MizAR, similar to the SystemOnTPTP
service for first-order automated reasoning. The main differences to
SystemOnTPTP are the use of the Mizar language that is oriented towards human
mathematicians (rather than the pure first-order logic used in SystemOnTPTP),
and setting the service in the context of the large Mizar Mathematical Library
of previous theorems,definitions, and proofs (rather than the isolated problems
that are solved in SystemOnTPTP). These differences poses new challenges and
new opportunities for automated reasoning and for proof presentation tools.
This paper describes the overall structure of MizAR, and presents the automated
reasoning systems and proof presentation tools that are combined to make MizAR
a useful mathematical service.Comment: To appear in 10th International Conference on. Artificial

Learning-Assisted Automated Reasoning with Flyspeck
The considerable mathematical knowledge encoded by the Flyspeck project is
combined with external automated theorem provers (ATPs) and machine-learning
premise selection methods trained on the proofs, producing an AI system capable
of answering a wide range of mathematical queries automatically. The
performance of this architecture is evaluated in a bootstrapping scenario
emulating the development of Flyspeck from axioms to the last theorem, each
time using only the previous theorems and proofs. It is shown that 39% of the
14185 theorems could be proved in a push-button mode (without any high-level
advice and user interaction) in 30 seconds of real time on a fourteen-CPU
workstation. The necessary work involves: (i) an implementation of sound
translations of the HOL Light logic to ATP formalisms: untyped first-order,
polymorphic typed first-order, and typed higher-order, (ii) export of the
dependency information from HOL Light and ATP proofs for the machine learners,
and (iii) choice of suitable representations and methods for learning from
previous proofs, and their integration as advisors with HOL Light. This work is
described and discussed here, and an initial analysis of the body of proofs
that were found fully automatically is provided
Automated Reasoning
This volume, LNAI 13385, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning, IJCAR 2022, held in Haifa, Israel, in August 2022. The 32 full research papers and 9 short papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 85 submissions. The papers focus on the following topics: Satisfiability, SMT Solving,Arithmetic; Calculi and Orderings; Knowledge Representation and Jutsification; Choices, Invariance, Substitutions and Formalization; Modal Logics; Proofs System and Proofs Search; Evolution, Termination and Decision Prolems.

A Spectrum of Applications of Automated Reasoning
The likelihood of an automated reasoning program being of substantial
assistance for a wide spectrum of applications rests with the nature of the
options and parameters it offers on which to base needed strategies and
methodologies. This article focuses on such a spectrum, featuring W. McCune's
program OTTER, discussing widely varied successes in answering open questions,
and touching on some of the strategies and methodologies that played a key
role. The applications include finding a first proof, discovering single
axioms, locating improved axiom systems, and simplifying existing proofs. The
last application is directly pertinent to the recently found (by R. Thiele)
Hilbert's twenty-fourth problem--which is extremely amenable to attack with the
appropriate automated reasoning program--a problem concerned with proof
simplification. The methodologies include those for seeking shorter proofs and
for finding proofs that avoid unwanted lemmas or classes of term, a specific
option for seeking proofs with smaller equational or formula complexity, and a
different option to address the variable richness of a proof. The type of proof
one obtains with the use of OTTER is Hilbert-style axiomatic, including details
that permit one sometimes to gain new insights. We include questions still open
and challenges that merit consideration.Comment: 13 page
Systematic Verification of the Modal Logic Cube in Isabelle/HOL
We present an automated verification of the well-known modal logic cube in
Isabelle/HOL, in which we prove the inclusion relations between the cube's
logics using automated reasoning tools. Prior work addresses this problem but
without restriction to the modal logic cube, and using encodings in first-order
logic in combination with first-order automated theorem provers. In contrast,
our solution is more elegant, transparent and effective. It employs an
embedding of quantified modal logic in classical higher-order logic. Automated
reasoning tools, such as Sledgehammer with LEO-II, Satallax and CVC4, Metis and
Nitpick, are employed to achieve full automation. Though successful, the
experiments also motivate some technical improvements in the Isabelle/HOL tool.Comment: In Proceedings PxTP 2015, arXiv:1507.0837
ATP and Presentation Service for Mizar Formalizations
This paper describes the Automated Reasoning for Mizar (MizAR) service, which
integrates several automated reasoning, artificial intelligence, and
presentation tools with Mizar and its authoring environment. The service
provides ATP assistance to Mizar authors in finding and explaining proofs, and
offers generation of Mizar problems as challenges to ATP systems. The service
is based on a sound translation from the Mizar language to that of first-order
ATP systems, and relies on the recent progress in application of ATP systems in
large theories containing tens of thousands of available facts. We present the
main features of MizAR services, followed by an account of initial experiments
in finding proofs with the ATP assistance. Our initial experience indicates
that the tool offers substantial help in exploring the Mizar library and in
preparing new Mizar articles
