Abstract
In this paper we present an algorithm implemented in the HOL system to prove the equivalence of two linear systems of equations (of a certain class) about natural numbers. The procedure has been developed in order to reason about an aspect of programs described in the Silage language. The semantics of Silage has been defined in the HOL system and specifies the class of linear systems of equations that the algorithm copes with.
