Abstract: In this paper we present the results of an experiment with employing an external SAT solver to strengthen the notion of obviousness of the Mizar proof checker. The presented extension of the Mizar system is based on a version of MiniSAT, called Logic2CNF. The SAT-enhanced Mizar checker is programmed to automatically spawn a new Logic2CNF process whenever it needs to justify any goal that can be solved by reducing it into a corresponding propositional satisfiability problem (equalities based on Boolean operations or set inclusion). The external tool is interfaced within the implementation of Mizar's requirements directives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
