Idea

HOL (short for higher-order logic) is a kind of simply typed lambda calculus. There are various proof assistants that implement this language. The most known one is Isabelle, that has HOL or Isabelle/HOL as its main application.

Other proof assistants of this kind are HOL4, HOL Light, HOL Zero, and ProofPower.

based on plain type theory/set theory:
