Paramodulation without Duplication
نویسنده
چکیده
The resolution (and paramodulation) inference systems are theorem proving procedures for rst-order logic (with equality), but they can run exponentially long for subclasses which have polynomial time decision procedures, as in the case of SLD resolution and the Knuth-Bendix completion procedure, both in the ground case. Specialized methods run in polynomial time, but have not been extended to the full rsttorder case. We show a form of Paramodulation which does not copy literals, which runs in polynomial time for the ground case of the following four sub-classes: Horn Clauses with any selection rule, any set of Unit Equalities (this includes Completion), Equa-tional Horn Clauses with a certain selection rule, and Conditional Narrowing.

Basic Paramodulation
We introduce a class of restrictions for the ordered paramodulation and superposition calculi (inspired by the basic strategy for narrowing), in which paramodulation inferences are forbidden at terms introduced by substitutions from previous inference steps. In addition we introduce restrictions based on term selection rules and redex orderings, which are general criteria for delimiting the ter...

متن کاملComplete colonic duplication in children
Background: Complete colonic duplication is a very rare congenital anomaly that may have different presentations according to its location and size. Complete colonic duplication can occur in 15% of gastrointestinal duplication. We report two cases of complete colonic duplications, and their characteristics. Case Presentation: We present two patients with complete colonic duplication with differ...
متن کاملCategory-based Semantic Paramodulation
We introduce the concept of semantic paramodulation as a \semantic" de nition of paramodulation (in the sense that it applies to any model, not only to the term algebra) within the framework of category-based equational logic (introduced by [8, 9]). This not only generalises the traditional syntactic approaches to paramodulation, but also provides an abstract framework for a uni ed treatment of...
متن کاملOn the Completeness of Arbitrary Selection Strategies for Paramodulation
A crucial way for reducing the search space in automated deduction are the so-called selection strategies: in each clause, the subset of selected literals are the only ones involved in inferences. For rst-order Horn clauses without equality, resolution is complete with an arbitrary selection of one single literal in each clause dN96]. For Horn clauses with built-in equality, i.e., paramodulatio...
