SMTCoq

Presentation

SMTCoq is a Coq plugin that checks proof witnesses coming from external SAT and SMT solvers. It provides:

• a certified checker for proof witnesses coming from the SAT solver ZChaff and the SMT solvers veriT and CVC4. This checker increases the confidence in these tools by checking their answers a posteriori and allows to import new theroems proved by these solvers in Coq;
• decision procedures through new tactics that discharge some Coq goals to ZChaff, veriT, CVC4, and their combination.

Installation and use

SMTCoq is freely available as an opam package and on GitHub. See the INSTALL.md file for instructions on how to install SMTCoq and the supported provers.

See the examples to see how to use SMTCoq. More details are given in the USE.md file.

SMTCoq is distributed under the CeCILL-C license.

Example

Here is a very small example of the possibilities of SMTCoq: automatic proofs in group theory.
