Abstract

In this paper we explore the use of ellipsis in proofs about lists. We present a higher-order formulation of elliptic formulae, and describe its implementation in the λClam proof planner. We use an unambiguous higher-order formulation of lists which is amenable to formal proofs without using induction, sind to display using the familicir... notation.
