It is paired with Mace4, a finite-model and counterexample finder, and both are built on William McCune's LADR library. ### Projektgeschichte Prover9 succeeded McCune's Otter prover and continued the Argonne automated-deduction line associated with Otter, EQP, Mace4, and LADR. The official 2009 manual presents Prover9 as the current Prover9/Mace4 release line at that time, while the 2026 site describes LADR-2026 as a backward-compatible modernization by Jeffrey P. Machado and Larry Lesyna. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The package has remained useful enough for Unix package managers to carry the 2009-11A release: Homebrew lists a `prover9` formula for macOS and Linux, and the input metadata also records Nix packaging. The 2026 project site recommends LADR-2026 for Prover9 and Mace4 users while preserving old input compatibility. ### Wie es verwendet wird Command-line users provide one or more Prover9 input files containing formula lists, clauses, goals, options, and related objects; the manual's basic example runs `prover9 -f subset_trans.in > subset_trans.out`. Mace4 is commonly used alongside Prover9 to search for finite counterexamples before or during proof search. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren For package-manager users, Prover9 is a small but historically important automated-reasoning tool: it exposes classic theorem-proving workflows as CLI programs, ships with related utilities such as Mace4 and Prooftrans, and represents the long-lived LADR codebase in reproducible Unix package collections. ### Zeitleiste - 2009: Prover9/Mace4 2009-11A manual and examples are published as the current older release. - 2026-03: The UNM page announces LADR-2026 as a substantially revised, backward-compatible Prover9 and Mace4 version. - 2026-05: The official GitHub repository lists LADR 2026-5B as the latest release. ### Related projects - Mace4 searches for finite models and counterexamples for the same kinds of first-order and equational statements Prover9 accepts. - Otter is the earlier theorem prover that Prover9 succeeded. - Prooftrans is bundled with Prover9 to transform proofs into alternate forms, including more detailed or XML output. ### Quellen - - - - - - input_path source_facts.package-manager ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** prover9 - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - prover9: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/pr/prover9/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Scientific computing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/scientific-computing-tools/) - Matched scientific computing metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [eprover](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/eprover/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: automated-reasoning, cli, first-order-logic, science, theorem-prover. - [kissat](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/kissat/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, logic, science. - [acl2](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/acl2/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, logic, science, theorem-prover. - [rocq](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/rocq/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, science, theorem-prover. - [z3](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/z3/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, science, theorem-prover. - [aamath](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/aamath/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, science. - [abpoa](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/abpoa/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, science. - [abricate](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/abricate/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, science. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
