Abstract
. The INKA system is a first-order theorem prover with induction based on the explicit induction paradigm. Since 1986 when a first version of the INKA system was developed there have been many improvements. In this description we will give a short overview of the current system state and its abilities. 1 Introduction The original INKA system dates back to 1986 [2]. The current version of the INKA system which will be described below has been developed at DFKI GmbH 1 between 1991 and 1995. The INKA system is a first-order theorem prover with induction based on the explicit induction paradigm. In contrast to Nqthm, the Boyer-Moore prover, [3], the system is based on a full first-order calculus, a special variant of an ordersorted resolution calculus with paramodulation, [7]. However, it is not specialized on inductive proofs but possesses a powerful predicate-logic proof component. INKA is designed to be used for practical applications of inductive theorem proving, for instance, in th...
