Superposition with Structural Induction

Superposition-based provers have been successfully used to discharge proof obligations stemming from proof assistants. However, many such obligations require induction to be proved. We present a new extension of typed superposition that can perform structural induction. Several inductive goals can be attempted within a single saturation loop, by leveraging AVATAR [1]. Lemmas obtained by generalization or theory exploration can be introduced during search, used, and proved, all in the same search space. We describe an implementation and present some promising results.
