A theorem prover for verifying iterative programs over integers
Debjit Sarkar, Sudeshna Sarkar · IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering · 1989
An implementation of a rule-based theorem prover for verifying iterative programs over integers is presented. The authors emphasize the overall proof construction strategy of the prover which has been able to construct the correctness proofs of all iterative programs taken from the literature. Two performance measures for the prover are proposed, and its proof construction for an array-sorting program is evaluated using these measures.>
