Abstract

We propose a system for large-scale theorem proving contests. We hope that such contests could spark interest in the research field, attract a new generation of theorem proving savants, and foster competition among proof assistants. For the proof assistant Isabelle, we construct and evaluate two iterations of a prototype implementation of our proposed system architecture.

Keyphrases: interactive theorem proving, isabelle/hol, theorem proving competition
