PROTEIN (PROver with a Theory Extension INterface) is a PTTP-based first order theorem prover over built-in theories. Besides various standard-refinements known for model elimination, PROTEIN also offers a variant of model elimination for case-based reasoning and which does not need contrapositives.

We present modifications of model elimination which do not necessitate the use of contrapositives. These restart model elimination calculi are proven sound and complete. The corresponding proof procedures are evaluated by a number of runtime experiments and they are compared to other well known provers. Finally we relate our results to other calculi, namely the connection method, modified problem reduction format and Near-Horn Prolog.

Refinements of Theory Model Elimination and a Variant without Contrapositives.
In A.G. Cohn, editor, 11th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, ECAI 94. Wiley, 1994. [ bib | .pdf ]
Theory Reasoning means to build-in certain knowledge about a problem domain into a deduction system or calculus, such as model elimination. We present several complete versions of highly restricted theory model elimination (TME) calculi. These restrictions allow (1) to keep fewer path literals in extension steps than in related calculi, and (2) to discard proof attempts with multiple occurrences of literals along a path (i.e. regularity holds). On the other hand, we obtain by small modifications to TME versions which do not need contrapositives (à la Near-Horn Prolog). We show how regularity can be adapted for these versions. The independence of the goal computation rule holds for all variants. Comparative runtime results for our PTTP-implementations are supplied.

We give modifications of model elimination which do not necessitate the use of contrapositives. These restart model elimination calculi are proven sound and complete and their implementation by PTTP is depicted. The corresponding proof procedures are evaluated by a number of runtime experiments and they are compared to other well known provers. Finally we relate our results to other calculi, namely the connection method, modified problem reduction format and Near-Horn Prolog.
