Minimal Model Generation Based on E-hyper Tableaux
نویسنده
چکیده
Minimal model generation has received great attention as people have deeper and deeper understanding in the semantics of the logic programming, deductive database, non monotonic reasoning and the relationships among them. But most proposed minimal model generation procedures in the literature are inappropriate in the sense that while generating minimal model, they also generate non-minimal models. This means that an explicit minimization has to be employed to obtain minimal models. This may be a great factor of ineeciency. In this paper we develop an approach to generate the minimal models, without explicit minimization process, based on E-hyper tableau which is a variant of hyper tableaux. The soundness and completeness of the procedure is shonw.

Minimal Herbrand models for clausal theories are useful in several areas of computer science, e.g. automated theorem proving, program veriication, logic programming, databases, and artiicial intelligence. In most cases, the conventional model generation algorithms are inappropriate because they generate nonminimal Herbrand models and can be ineecient. This article describes a novel approach for...

Herbrand models for clausal theories are useful in several areas of computer science. In most cases, however, the conventional model generation algorithms are inappropriate because they generate non-minimal Herbrand models and can be ineecient. This article describes a novel approach for generating minimal Herbrand models of clausal theories. The approach builds upon positive unit hyper-resolut...
متن کاملHyperS Tableaux - Heuristic Hyper Tableaux
Several syntactic methods have been constructed to automate theorem proving in first-order logic. The positive (negative) hyper-resolution and the clause tableaux were combined in a single calculus called hyper tableaux in [1]. In this paper we propose a new calculus called hyperS tableaux which overcomes substantial drawbacks of hyper tableaux. Contrast to hyper tableaux, hyperS tableaux are e...
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...
