Overview

The Saturate system is an experimental automated theorem prover for first-order logic primarily based on saturation up to redundancy. The theoretical basis of Saturate are rewrite techniques for transitive relations as described in (Bachmair & Ganzinger, 1994 c) and (Bachmair & Ganzinger, 1995 b). Clausal normal form transformation is integrated into Saturate in an attempt to keep the logical structure, in particular quantifiers and equivalences, visible. The system is written in Prolog and runs under Quintus and SICStus.

Saturate is a cooperation project between UPC Barcelona and MPI Informatik within the ESPRIT Basic Research Working Groups CCL and CCL II.

The main focus of the system is on

Moreover, Saturate

There are three basic kinds of problems for which Saturate can be used:
