PLATIN: A Planning System for Inductive Theorem Proving - Implementation and Experiences Robert Eschbach, Inger Sonntag Fachbereich Informatik Universitaet Kaiserslautern Postfach 3049 D-67653 Kaiserslautern e-mail: eschbach@informatik.uni-kl.de sonntag@informatik.uni-kl.de Abstract This paper provides a description of PLATIN. With PLATIN we present an implemented system for planning inductive theorem proofs in equational theories that are based on Rewrite-methods. We provide a survey of the underlying architecture of PLATIN and then concentrate on details and experiences of the current implementation. Keywords theorem proving, inductive theorem proving, planning, proof planning Source anonymous FTP server ftp.uni-kl.de [131.246.94.94] path: /reports_uni-kl/computer_science/SEKI/1997/ file: Eschbach.SR-97-02.ps.gz
