Semantic unification for convergent systems

Abstract

dc:description

Equation solving is the process of finding a substitution of terms for variables that makes two terms equal in a given theory, while semantic unification is the process that generates a basis set of such unifying substitutions. A simpler variant of the problem is semantic matching, where the substitution is made in only one of the terms. Semantic unification and matching constitute an important component of theorem proving and programming language interpreters.
