We present a generic and executable formalization of signature-based algorithms (such as Faug\`ere's $F_5$) for computing Gr\"obner bases, as well as their mathematical background, in the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant. Said algorithms are…

Isabelle/HOL augments classical higher-order logic with ad-hoc overloading of constant definitions---that is, one constant may have several definitions for non-overlapping types. In this paper, we present a mechanised proof that HOL with…
