Abstract

I describe the implementation of two complete decision procedures for integer Presburger arithmetic in the HOL theorem-proving system. The first procedure is Cooper’s algorithm, the second, the Omega Test. Between them, the algorithms illustrate three different implementation techniques in a fully expansive system.
