A Model Generation Style Completeness Proof for Constraint Tableaux with Superposition
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a calculus that integrates equality handling by superposition into a free variable tableau calculus. We prove completeness of this calculus by an adaptation of the model generation [1, 15] technique commonly used for completeness proofs of resolution calculi. The calculi and the completeness proof are compared to earlier results of Degtyarev and Voronkov [7].

Model Generation Style Completeness Proofs for Constraint Tableaux with Superposition
We present several calculi that integrate equality handling by superposition and ordered paramodulation into a free variable tableau calculus. We prove completeness of this calculus by an adaptation of themodel generation [1, 13] technique commonly used for completeness proofs of resolution calculi. The calculi and the completeness proof are compared to earlier results of Degtyarev and Voronkov...
متن کاملConstraint Tableaux for Hybrid Logics Draft
Hybrid logics are modal logics with names for worlds. Tableau systems for various hybrid logics were proposed in [6, 7, 20]. We present an improved tableau system for hybrid logic that handles equality for nominals by substitution and generation of inequality constraints. This compiles out the equalities while storing the inequalities, thus allowing for efficient equality reasoning. The proof p...
متن کاملConstrained Hyper Tableaux
Hyper tableau reasoning is a version of clausal form tableau reasoning where all negative literals in a clause are resolved away in a single inference step. Constrained hyper tableaux are a generalization of hyper tableaux, where branch closing substitutions, from the point of view of model generation, give rise to constraints on satisfying assignments for the branch. These variable constraints...
متن کاملHyper Tableaux with Equality
In most theorem proving applications, a proper treatment of equational theories or equality is mandatory. In this paper we show how to integrate a modern treatment of equality in the hyper tableau calculus. It is based on splitting of positive clauses and an adapted version of the superposition inference rule, where equations used for paramodulation are drawn (only) from a set of positive unit ...
متن کاملSaturation Up to Redundancy for Tableau and Sequent Calculi
We discuss an adaptation of the technique of saturation up to redundancy, as introduced by Bachmair and Ganzinger [1], to tableau and sequent calculi for classical first-order logic. This technique can be used to easily show the completeness of optimized calculi that contain destructive rules e.g. for simplification, rewriting with equalities, etc., which is not easily done with a standard Hint...
