Second-order quantifier-elimination is the problem of finding, given a formula with second-order quantifiers, a logically equivalent first-order formula. While such formulas are not computable in general, there are practical algorithms and…

Automated theorem provers have traditionally relied on manually tuned heuristics to guide how they perform proof search. Deep reinforcement learning has been proposed as a way to obviate the need for such heuristics, however, its deployment…

Commonly used proof strategies by automated reasoners organise proof search either by ordering-based saturation or by reducing goals to subgoals. In this paper, we combine these two approaches and advocate a SAT-based method with symmetry…
