Lecture Notes in Computer Science

It is already known that Bounded Second-Order Unification is decidable and NP-hard, whereas general Second-Order Unification is undecidable. ...
We prove that Bounded Second-Order Unification is NP-complete, provided that m is given in unary encoding, by proving that a size-minimal solution can be represented in polynomial space, and then applying ...
Bounded Second-Order Unification is NP-complete. Proof: For any equation E, and any size-minimal solution σ, there exists a STG of polynomial size in |E| that generates σ(X), for every X ∈ V ar(E). ...

A corollary of our result is that solvability of rewrite constraints is NP-complete. ...
Context Unification is the problem to decide for a given set of second-order equations E where all second-order variables are unary, whether there exists a unifier, such that for every second-order variable ...
Conclusion and Further Research We have shown that stratified context unification is NP-complete by exploiting compaction of terms and polynomial comparison of the compactions using singleton tree grammars ...

Our work simplifies the study of Second-Order Unification and some of its variants, like Context Unification and Bounded Second-Order Unification. ...
If all symbols are monadic, then the problem is NP-complete, whereas it is enough to have just one binary constant to lose decidability. ...
Theorem 3 Decidability of Bounded Second-Order Unification can be NP-reduced to decidability of Bounded Second-Order Unification with just one binary function symbol, and constants. ...

Therefore, the complete value of N1 is described by a pair consisting of a pointer to the term np(N) and another poin- ter to the frame in which N is bound. ...
Similarly, when the two terms corresponding to the second arguments of terms (1) and (2) are matched, V will become bound to ‘vp(v(likes), np(mary))’. ...

We obtain this way already known NP-hardness bounds for the order two and three and a new result that the fourth order matching is NEXPTIME-hard. , 82-96. † Supported by KBN grant 8 T 11C 029 13. 1 Since ...
the term "pattern" has multiple meanings in the theory of higher order unification, e.g., the one introduced by Dale Miller [15] , we would rather avoid it when speaking about unification of an arbitrary ...
Thus: Corollary 1 Second order pure unification (in particular matching) is in NP. Second order pure unification (in particular matching) with bounded number of variables is in PTIME. ...

We prove that this problem is decidable by showing that it belongs to NP. Then we prove that this problem is in fact NP-complete. Finally, we discuss some heuristics for a practical algorithm. ...
We consider the problem of higher-order matching restricted to the set of linear λ-terms (i.e., λ-terms where each abstraction λx. M is such that there is exactly one free occurrence of x in M ). ...
Whether linear higher-order unification is decidable is an open problem related, in the second-order case, to context unification [11] . ...

On the one hand, the complexity of feature theories does not provide an upper bound for the complexity of such unification grammars. ...
On the other hand, the complexity of feature theories need not provide a lower bound. Therefore, we argue for formalisms that describe actual unification grammars instead of feature theories. ...
An additional NP upper bound is proven for an arbitrary string and grammar, which results in an NP-complete recognition problem. ...
