A superposition oriented theorem prover
1985
Theoretical Computer Science
The basic-theoretical result is the completeness of a strong restriction of paramodulation for locking resolution procedures. ...
In addition, term simplification is incorporated in our procedure as well as subsumption. ...

Using Decision Procedures to Accelerate Domain-Specific Deductive Synthesis Systems
[chapter]
1999
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This paper describes a class of decision procedures that we have found useful for efficient, domain-specific deductive synthesis, and a method for integrating this type of procedure into a general-purpose ...
We suggest that this is a large and interesting class of procedures and show how to integrate these procedures to accelerate a general-purpose theorem prover doing deductive synthesis. ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Tom Pressburger read and helped with useful discussions of several drafts of this paper. ...

Editorial
1991
Journal of symbolic computation
Kounalis & Rusinowitch suggest a notion of saturated set for Horn clauses and give sufficient conditions under which the use of saturated sets as rewrite rules provides a decision procedure for the word ...
For instance, reduction orderings, a key concept in term rewriting, have been used to develop improved versions, both in terms of efficiency and completeness, of resolution/paramodulation type deduction ...

2001
Handbook of Automated Reasoning
We consider the history of handling equality in sequent systems, methods based on rigid E-uni cation, paramodulation-based methods, the equality elimination method and equality reasoning in nonclassical ...

Decision procedures and model building in equational clause logic
1998
Logic Journal of the IGPL
It is shown that a combination of semantic resolution and ordered paramodulation provides a decision procedure for a large class PVD = g of clause sets with equality. ...
This algorithm always terminates on clause sets in PVD = g and yields an appropriate model representation. ...
Acknowledgements We like to thank the referees for their careful reading of preliminary versions of the paper and very helpful comments. ...

On Interpolation in Automated Theorem Proving
2014
Journal of automated reasoning
We show by examples that the color-based approach cannot handle non-ground refutations by resolution and paramodulation/superposition. ...
Interpolation finds application in program analysis, verification, and synthesis, for example, towards invariant generation. ...

On solving the equality problem in theories defined by Horn clauses

Theoretical Computer Science
Experimental results, and comparisons with other resolution/paramodulation-based methods, in particular the methods proposed by Lankford (1975) and Peterson (1983) , are included in the paper. ...
Another application of the Knuth and Bendix procedure is the proof by induction (Musser, 1980; Huet-Hullot, 1982 and others). ...
A classical inference rule in first-order predicate calculus with equality is 'paramodulation' which is defined as follows. Definition 1.7 (paramodulation). ...

On Deciding Satisfiability by Theorem Proving with Speculative Inferences
2010
Journal of automated reasoning
Inference systems with resolution and superposition are strong at reasoning with equalities, universally quantified variables, and Horn clauses. ...
Termination is enforced by introducing additional axioms as hypotheses. The system detects any unsoundness introduced by these speculative inferences and recovers from it. ...
The first-order engine alone was used as decision procedure, with no integration with an SMT-solver. ...

[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We consider both saturation based and goal-oriented methods for equality handling. ...
The disconnection tableau calculus represents a new confluent framework well suited for the integration of a large class of different methods for equality handling, as we demonstrate in this paper. ...
We would like to thank Peter Baumgartner for his unrelenting questions and some fruitful discussions which helped to eliminate a number of errors that could be found in earlier versions of this paper. ...
