Search strategies for resolution in temporal logics

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we give and evaluate the algorithms for a fully automated temporal resolution theorem prover. An approach to applying resolution, a proof method for classical logics suited to mechanisation, to temporal logics has been developed by Fisher. As the application of the temporal resolution rule is the most costly part of the method, involving search amongst graphs, we propose different algorithms on which to base an implementation. The paper concludes with a comparison of their performance.
