Finding Resolution K-Transformations

Universität des Saarlandes, March, 1996

Jan-Georg Smaus obtained his Diploma in Computer Science from Saarland University in March 1996.
The supervisor of the work was Hans Jürgen Ohlbach


Resolution K-transformations are faithful transformations between clause sets. The aim is to remove
clauses like symmetry or transitivity from a clause set in order to eliminate or reduce recursivity and
circularity in this clause set. It is shown that for any set of such clauses, a resolution K-transformation
is likely to exist and can be found automatically. Clause K-transformations may be applied to reduce
the search space of theorem provers, to eliminate loops in logic programs, to parallelise closure
computation algorithms and to support automated complexity analysis.
