Abstract

We study proofs by structural induction and the equational subproofs that emerge from inductive proofs. Due to the role these subproofs play in the proof process, existing theorem provers tend to use ad hoc methods rather than existing semi-decision methods for equational proofs. We present a formalized version of these ad hoc methods, and prove some results on its completeness. Finally we present some examples on the formalized method used in fully automatized proofs by structural induction.
