Abstract

In this paper we discuss the role of certain cyclic rules—and in particular their ressemblance to Frame Axioms—which show up in a backward proof procedure for Linear Connection Proofs (see [4]). Trying to avoid these cyclic rules in proof search leads to an improved search procedure of which we give the basic idea as well as the results of an experimental evaluation.
