Abstract

Unifiability of finite sets of equations and admissibility of quasiequations in finite algebras are decidable problems, but a naive approach is computationally unfeasible even for small algebras. Algorithms are given here for obtaining more efficient proof systems deciding these problems, and some applications of the algorithms are described.
