Abstract

In this paper we extend the term rewriting approach to first order theorem proving, as described in Hsiang & Dershowitz 1983), to the theory of first order predicate calculus with equality. Consequently, we have showed that the term rewriting method can indeed be made to be as powerful as paramodulation and resolution combined.
