Scavenger 0.1: A Theorem Prover Based on Conflict Resolution

Logic in Computer Science 2017-11-01 v2 Artificial Intelligence Formal Languages and Automata Theory

Abstract

This paper introduces Scavenger, the first theorem prover for pure first-order logic without equality based on the new conflict resolution calculus. Conflict resolution has a restricted resolution inference rule that resembles (a first-order generalization of) unit propagation as well as a rule for assuming decision literals and a rule for deriving new clauses by (a first-order generalization of) conflict-driven clause learning.
