Keywords: Proof - Higher-order logic

Scientific Description: Nunchaku is a model finder for higher-order logic, with dedicated support for various definitional principles. It is designed to work as a backend for various proof assistants (notably Isabelle/HOL and Coq) and to use state-of-the-art model finders and other solvers as backends.

Functional Description: Nunchaku is a model finder (counterexample generator) for higher-order logic.

News Of The Year: A noteworthy development this year is the creation of a backend called SMBC, based on new ideas by Cruanes about how to combine SAT solving and narrowing.
