Abstract
This paper describes how we have added an efficient function for computation to the kernel of the Candle interactive theorem prover. Candle is a CakeML port of HOL Light which we have, in prior work, proved sound w.r.t. the inference rules of the higher-order logic. This paper extends the original implementation and soundness proof with a new kernel function for fast computation. Experiments show that the new computation function is able to speed up certain evaluation proofs by several orders of magnitude
