Abstract

When hyperresolution used with equality axioms, the function substitution axioms tend to produce myriads of new clauses whenever a positive equality literal is present. The analogue for paramodulation is the large number of potential paramodulants where the “into” term is not at the top level of its literal. In this study, we will prove that for some class of clause sets, the use of function substitution axioms can be eliminated. Analogously, paramodulation can be applied to the top level terms only.
