Automated Formal Proofs of Combinatorial Identities via Wilf–Zeilberger Guidance and LLMs

Automating formal proofs of combinatorial identities is challenging for LLM-based provers, as long-horizon proof planning is required and unconstrained search quickly explodes. Symbolic methods such as the Wilf--Zeilberger (WZ) method can achieve a mechanized proof of combinatorial identities by con…
