Proof-search and countermodel generation for non-normal modal logics: The theorem prover PRONOM

In this work we present PRONOM, a theorem prover and countermodel generator for non-normal modal logics. PRONOM implements some labelled sequent calculi recently introduced for the basic system E and its extensions with axioms M, N, and C based on bi-neighbourhood semantics. PRONOM is inspired by the methodology of leanTAP and is implemented in Prolog. When a modal formula is valid, then PRONOM computes a proof (a closed tree) in the labelled calculi having a sequent with an empty left-hand side and containing only that formula on the right-hand side as a root, otherwise PRONOM is able to extract a model falsifying it from an open, saturated branch. The paper shows some experimental results, witnessing that the performances of PRONOM are promising.
