For propositional logic, systematically applying the resolution rule acts as a decision procedure for formula unsatisfiability, solving the (complement of the) Boolean satisfiability problem. For first-order logic , resolution can be used as the basis for a semi-algorithm for the unsatisfiability problem of first-order logic , providing a more ...
Each logic operator can be used in an assertion about variables and operations, showing a basic rule of inference. Examples: The column-14 operator (OR), shows Addition rule : when p =T (the hypothesis selects the first two lines of the table), we see (at column-14) that p ∨ q =T.
In proof theory, an area of mathematical logic, resolution proof reduction via local context rewriting is a technique for resolution proof reduction via local context rewriting. [1] This proof compression method was presented as an algorithm named ReduceAndReconstruct , that operates as a post-processing of resolution proofs.
A graphical representation of a partially built propositional tableau. In proof theory, the semantic tableau [1] (/ t æ ˈ b l oʊ, ˈ t æ b l oʊ /; plural: tableaux), also called an analytic tableau, [2] truth tree, [1] or simply tree, [2] is a decision procedure for sentential and related logics, and a proof procedure for formulae of first-order logic.

The name "SLD resolution" was given by Maarten van Emden for the unnamed inference rule introduced by Robert Kowalski. [1] Its name is derived from SL resolution, [2] which is both sound and refutation complete for the unrestricted clausal form of logic. "SLD" stands for "SL resolution with Definite clauses".
The goal is to decide whether Fritz is green, based on a rule base containing the following four rules: An example of backward chaining. If X croaks and X eats flies – Then X is a frog; If X chirps and X sings – Then X is a canary; If X is a frog – Then X is green; If X is a canary – Then X is yellow
An early example of answer set programming was the planning method proposed in 1997 by Dimopoulos, Nebel and Köhler. [3] [4] Their approach is based on the relationship between plans and stable models. [5]
Resolution calculi that include subsumption can model rule one by subsumption and rule two by a unit resolution step, followed by subsumption. Unit propagation, applied repeatedly as new unit clauses are generated, is a complete satisfiability algorithm for sets of propositional Horn clauses ; it also generates a minimal model for the set if ...
