Zusammenfassung

Dualities between different theories occur frequently in mathematics and logic --- between syntax and semantics of a logic, between structures and power structures, between relations and relational algebras, to name just a few. In this paper we show for the case of structures and power structures how corresponding properties of the two related structures can be computed fully automatically by means of quantifier elimination algorithms and predicate logic theorem provers. We illustrate the method with a large number of examples and we give enough technical hints to enable the reader who has access to the {\sc Otter} theorem prover to experiment herself.
