Abstract

We study free variable tableau methods for logics with term declarations. We show how to define a substitutivity rule preserving the soundness of the tableaux and we prove that some other attempts lead to unsound systems. Based on this rule, we define a sound and complete free variable tableau system and we show how to restrict its application to close branches by defining a sorted unification calculus.
