Polarized Resolution Modulo
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a restriction of Resolution modulo where the rewrite rules are such that a clause always rewrites to a clause. This way, the reduct of a clause needs not be further transformed into clause form. Restricting Resolution modulo this way requires to extend it in another way and distinguish the rules that apply to negative and to positive atomic propositions. As an example, we show how this method applies to a first-order presentation of Simple type theory. Finally, we show that this method can be seen as a restriction of Equational resolution that mixes clause selection restrictions and literal selection restrictions, but unlike many restrictions of Resolution, it is not an instance of Ordered resolution.

Automata, Resolution, and Cut-elimination
Automata, Resolution, and Cut-elimination are three methods to prove the decidability of provability in various logics. The goal of this paper is to understand the relation between these three methods, using Alternating pushdown systems as a unifying example. To this aim, we propose a new Resolution based saturation method for Polarized sequent calculus modulo theory and its associated cut-elim...
متن کاملPushdown systems in Polarized deduction modulo
We introduce a new saturation method for polarized rewrite systems and prove a cut-elimination theorem for the Polarized sequent calculus modulo a saturated rewrite system. As a corollary of this cut-elimination theorem, we obtain the decidability of reachability in alternating pushdown systems.
متن کاملSimple Type Theory as a Clausal Theory
Deduction modulo is an extension of first-order predicate logic where axioms are replaced by rewrite rules. For instance, the axiom P ⇔ (Q ⇒ R) is replaced by the rule P −→ (Q ⇒ R). These rules define an equivalence relation and, in a proof, a proposition can be replaced by an equivalent one at any time. A presentation of Simple Type Theory in Deduction modulo, calledHOL, has been given in [3]....
متن کاملEmbedding Deduction Modulo into a Prover
Deduction modulo consists in presenting a theory through rewrite rules to support automatic and interactive proof search. It induces proof search methods based on narrowing, such as the polarized resolution modulo. We show how to combine this method with more traditional ordering restrictions. Interestingly, no compatibility between the rewriting and the ordering is requested to ensure complete...
متن کاملThe polarized Ramsey's theorem
We study the effective and proof-theoretic content of the polarized Ramsey’s theorem, a variant of Ramsey’s theorem obtained by relaxing the definition of homogeneous set. Our investigation yields a new characterization of Ramsey’s theorem in all exponents, and produces several combinatorial principles which, modulo bounding for Σ2 formulas, lie (possibly not strictly) between Ramsey’s theorem ...
