System Feature Description : Importing Refutations into the GAPT Framework

This paper describes a new feature of the GAPT framework, namely the ability to import refutations obtained from external automated theorem provers. To cope with coarsegrained, under-specified and non-standard inference rules used by various theorem provers, the technique of proof replaying is employed. The refutations provided by external theorem provers are replayed using GAPT’s built-in resolution prover (TAP), which generates refutations that use only three basic fine-grained inference rules (resolution, factoring and paramodulation) and are therefore more suitable to be manipulated by the proof-theoretic algorithms implemented in GAPT.
