Conclusion
Encoding
- Basic encoding is quite straight forward
- Used features of FOL ATP to encode tricky bits
- Definitional encoding scheme makes hard ATP
- Including everything (operators, operator definitions) may be
overkill
Equivalences
- Some progress, but not much yet
- Either ...
- I've made a mistake in the logic ... HELP!
- The encoding is too cumbersome
- These are hard problems for ATP
Future Work
- Resolve all the HELP! worries
- Do (== have a student do) a proper survey of techniques and other work
- First-order modal logic ... can it be done (this way)?
- Variables at the modal level
- Quantification at the modal level
