It accepts + a problem specification, typically consisting of a number of first-order + clauses or formulas, and a conjecture, again either in clausal or full + first-order form. The system will then try to find a formal proof for the + conjecture, assuming the axioms. If a proof is found, the system can + provide a detailed list of proof steps that can be individually verified. + If the conjecture is existential (i.e. it is of the form "there exists an X + with property P"), more recent versions can also provide possible answers + (values for X). Development of E started as part of the E-SETHEO project at + TUM. The first public release was in in 1998, and the system has been + continuously improved ever since. I believe that E now is one of the most + powerful and friendly reasoning systems for first-order logic. The prover + has successfully participated in many competitions. + </longdescription> + <use> + <flag name="ho">enable support for higher-order logic</flag> + </use> + <upstream> + <bugs-to>https://github.com/eprover/eprover/issues/</bugs-to> + <remote-id type="github">eprover/eprover</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
