Modal Theorem Proving: An Equational Viewpoint
1992
Journal of Logic and Computation
We propose a new method for automated theorem proving in first order modal logic. Essentially, the method consists in a translation of modal logic into a specially designed typed first order logic cal led Path Logic, such that classical modal systems (first order Q, T, 04, S4, S5) can be characterized by sets of equations. The question of modal theorem proving then amounts to classical theorem proving in some equational theories. Different methods can be investigated and in this paper we
