@inProceedings{claessen-etal-2013-automating-175485, title = {Automating Inductive Proofs using Theory Exploration}, abstract = {HipSpec is a system for automatically deriving and proving properties about functional programs. It uses a novel approach, combining theory exploration, counterexample testing and inductive theorem proving. HipSpec automatically generates a set of equational theorems about the available recursive functions of a program. These equational properties make up an algebraic specification for the program and can in addition be used as a background theory for proving additional user-stated properties. Experimental results are encouraging: HipSpec compares favourably to other inductive theorem provers and theory exploration systems.}, booktitle = {24th International Conference on Automated Deduction, Lake Placid, NY, USA, June 9-14, 2013}, author = {Claessen, Koen and Rosén, Dan and Johansson, Moa and Smallbone, Nicholas}, year = {2013}, volume = {7898}, ISBN = {978-3-642-38573-5}, pages = {392--406}, }
