A methodology for equational reasoning
Cleve, Hutter · 1994
Presents a methodology to guide equational reasoning in a goal-directed way. Suggested by rippling methods developed in the field of inductive theorem proving, we use attributes of terms and heuristics to determine bridge lemmas, i.e. lemmas which have to be used during the proof of the theorem. Once we have found such a bridge lemma, we use the techniques of difference unification and rippling to enable its use.>
