An Isabelle/HOL formalisation of G\"odel's two incompleteness theorems is presented. The work follows \'Swierczkowski's detailed proof of the theorems using hereditarily finite (HF) set theory. Avoiding the usual arithmetical encodings of…

Using Isabelle/HOL, we verify the state-of-the-art decision procedure for multi-level syllogistic with singleton (MLSS for short), which is a quantifier-free fragment of set theory. We formalise its syntax and semantics as well as a sound…
