We describe SeCaV, a sequent calculus verifier for first-order logic in Isabelle/HOL, and the SeCaV Unshortener, an online tool that expands succinct derivations into the full SeCaV syntax. We leverage the power of Isabelle/HOL as a proof…

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…
