Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach for solving first-order predicate logic problems stated in conjunctive normal form. We propose to combine resolution with the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) paradigm to prove the inconsistency and find a model of a problem. The resulting method benefits from resolution and constraint satisfaction techniques and seems very efficient when confronted to some problems of the CADE-13 competition.
