Best Free and Open Source Proof Assistants

LISA (LISA Is Sets Automated) – proof assistant

LISA (LISA Is Sets Automated) is a proof assistant based on first-order logic sequent calculus and set theory.

It provides a trusted kernel for checking proofs, together with a domain-specific language and supporting utilities for developing formal proofs, tactics, and mathematical theories.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Based on first-order logic, sequent calculus, and set theory.
  • Trusted kernel verifies all accepted theorems and proofs.
  • Formalisation of first-order logic.
  • Proofs formalised through sequent calculus.
  • Domain-specific language for writing proofs and mathematical developments.
  • Supports development of proof tactics.
  • Parser and printer for proofs and formulas.
  • Provides unification algorithms.
  • Includes a mathematical library with set theory developments.
