In this article, we solve some of the geometry problems of the N'aboj 2023 competition with the help of a computer, using examples that the software tool GeoGebra Discovery can calculate. In each case, the calculation requires symbolic computations. We analyze the difficulty of feeding the problem into the machine and set further goals to make the problems of this type of contests even more tractable in the future.

The pursue of what are properties that can be identified to permit an automated reasoning program to generate and find new and interesting theorems is an interesting research goal (pun intended). The automatic discovery of new theorems is a goal in itself, and it has been addressed in specific areas, with different methods. The separation of the"weeds", uninteresting, trivial facts, from the"wheat", new and interesting facts, is much harder, but is also being addressed by different authors using different approaches. In this paper we will focus on geometry. We present and discuss different approaches for the automatic discovery of geometric theorems (and properties), and different metrics to find the interesting theorems among all those that were generated. After this description we will introduce the first result of this article: an undecidability result proving that having an algorithmic procedure that decides for every possible Turing Machine that produces theorems, whether it is able to produce also interesting theorems, is an undecidable problem. Consequently, we will argue that judging whether a theorem prover is able to produce interesting theorems remains a non deterministic task, at best a task to be addressed by program based in an algorithm guided by heuristics criteria. Therefore, as a human, to satisfy this task two things are necessary: an expert survey that sheds light on what a theorem prover/finder of interesting geometric theorems is, and - to enable this analysis - other surveys that clarify metrics and approaches related to the interestingness of geometric theorems. In the conclusion of this article we will introduce the structure of two of these surveys - the second result of this article - and we will discuss some future work.

In this paper, we present an approach to automated solving of triangle ruler-and-compass construction problems using finite-domain constraint solvers. The constraint model is described in the MiniZinc modeling language, and is based on the automated planning. The main benefit of using general constraint solvers for such purpose, instead of developing dedicated tools, is that we can rely on the efficient search that is already implemented within the solver, enabling us to focus on geometric aspects of the problem. We may also use the solver's built-in optimization capabilities to search for the shortest possible constructions. We evaluate our approach on 74 solvable problems from the Wernick's list, and compare it to the dedicated triangle construction solver ArgoTriCS. The results show that our approach is comparable to dedicated tools, while it requires much less effort to implement. Also, our model often finds shorter constructions, thanks to the optimization capabilities offered by the constraint solvers.

In our contribution we describe some on-going improvements concerning the Automated Reasoning Tools developed in GeoGebra Discovery, providing different examples of the performance of these new features. We describe the new ShowProof command, that outputs both the sequence of the different steps performed by GeoGebra Discovery to confirm a certain statement, as well as a number intending to grade the difficulty or interest of the assertion. The proposal of this assessment measure, involving the comparison of the expression of the thesis (or conclusion) as a combination of the hypotheses, will be developed.

Higher Type Arithmetic (HA$^w$) is a first-order many-sorted theory. It is a conservative extension of Heyting Arithmetic obtained by extending the syntax of terms to all of System T: the objects of interest here are the functionals of higher types. While equality between natural numbers is specified by the axioms of Peano, how can equality between functionals be defined? From this question, different versions of HA$^w$ arise, such as an extensional version (E-HA$^w$) and an intentional version (I-HA$^w$). In this work, we will see how the study of partial equivalence relations leads us to design a translation by parametricity from E-HA$^w$ to HA$^w$.
高级类型算术（HA$^w$）是一种一阶多排序理论。它是海因算术的保守扩展，通过将术语的语法扩展到系统 T 的所有部分而获得：这里感兴趣的对象是高级类型的函数。自然数之间的相等是由皮亚诺公理规定的，那么如何定义函数之间的相等呢？从这个问题出发，产生了不同版本的 HA$^w$，如扩展版本（E-HA$^w$）和意向版本（I-HA$^w$）。在这项工作中，我们将了解部分等价关系的研究如何引导我们设计一种从 E-HA$^w$ 到 HA$^w$ 的参数化转换。
