An Incremental Knowledge Compilation in First Order Logic

Logic in Computer Science 2011-11-17 v2

Abstract

An algorithm to compute the set of prime implicates of a quantifier-free clausal formula X in first order logic had been presented in earlier work. As the knowledge base X is dynamic, new clauses are added to the old knowledge base. In this paper an incremental algorithm is presented to compute the prime implicates of X and a clause C from π(X)C\pi(X)\cup C. The correctness of the algorithm is also proved.
