Induction with generalization in superposition reasoning
Paper in proceeding, 2020

We describe an extension of automating induction in superposition-based reasoning by strengthening inductive properties and generalizing terms over which induction should be applied. We implemented our approach in the first-order theorem prover Vampire and evaluated our work against state-of-the-art reasoners automating induction. We demonstrate the strength of our technique by showing that many interesting mathematical properties of natural numbers and lists can be proved automatically using this extension.
