Abstract

We present and analyze experimental results in the first extensive use of a theorem prover based on Resolution by Unification and Equality. Implicit use is made of equality axioms by the inference rules RUE and NRF to achieve incisive refutations for E-unsatisfiability. Since a primary issue in automated deduction is the efficacy of convergence to proof, we describe in detail the heuristics which were used to obtain proofs. A comparative tabulation with the results of McCharen, Overbeek and Wos, who used unification resolution, shows sharply reduced cumulative unification counts.
