Abstract

The present paper presents algorithms for testing satisfiabily of clausalformulas in the propositional logic and the firs-order logic. The algorithmbased on the enumeration of solutions for testing the satisfiability ofpropositional formula, has already been given by K. Iwama, O. Dubois. Theoriginality in this paper is to combine this algorithm to other procedures,especially with the pure-literal literal and the one-literal rule, and also theone which consists in changing any formulas in formulas bounded. Thealgorithm based on the enumeration of the solution combined to theseprocedures is more efficient. The algorithm based on the concept ofresolutive derivation from Skolem normal form of formula α in first-order logic, has already been given. The idea in present's paper is tocombined to this algorithm to process of elimination of tautological clausesand process of elimination of subsumed clauses.
