\(\textsc{Met\hspace{-.5pt}TeL}\): A Tableau Prover with Logic-Independent Inference Engine

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6793))

Abstract

\(\textsc{Met\hspace{-.5pt}TeL}\) is a generic tableau prover for various modal, intuitionistic, hybrid, description and metric logics. The core component of \(\textsc{Met\hspace{-.5pt}TeL}\) is a logic-independent tableau inference engine. A novel feature is that users have the ability to flexibly specify the set of tableau rules to be used in derivations. Termination can be achieved via a generalisation of a standard loop checking mechanism or unrestricted blocking.

The work is supported by research grant EP/H043748/1 of the UK EPSRC.
