Quantification in Nqthm: A Recognizer and Some Constructive Implementations

Abstract : We present an implementation of a recognizer for quantified notions in the Boyer-Moore Theorem Prover, Nqthm. That is, we provide a method for checking that a given function does indeed represent a quantified notion. We also present methods for generating constructively-presented functions that represent quantified notions, including definitions using only bounded quantifiers.
