Abstract

The Markgraf Karl Refutation Procedure (MKR-Procedure) is an automated theorem prover for sorted logic, based on an extended clause graph calculus, currently under development at the University of Karlsruhe. This paper describes the TERMINATOR module, a component of the MKR-Procedure, which is essentially a very fast algorithm for the search for unit refutations. The TERMINATOR is used as a fast pre-theorem prover as well as an integral component of the system, and is called for different tasks during the search for a proof.
