Abstract

In verification of finite domain models (model checking) counterexamples help the user to identify, why a proof attempt has failed. In this paper we present an approach to construct counterexamples for first-order goals over infinite data types, which are defined by algebraic specifications. The approach avoids the implementation of a new calculus, by integrating counterexample search with the interactive theorem proving strategy. The paper demonstrates, that this integrations requires only a few modifications to the theorem proving strategy.
