Abstract

The inference rule Ω-resolution for regular multiple-valued logics is developed. One advantage of Ω-resolution is that linear, regular proofs are possible. That is, unlike existing deduction techniques, Ω-resolution admits input deductions (for Horn sets) while maintaining regular signs. More importantly, Ω-resolution proofs are at least as short as proofs for definite clauses generated by the standard inference techniques--annotated resolution and reduction--and pruning of the search space occurs automatically.
