THEORY OF UNIFICATION

ASHRAF MOUSTAFA KAMAL MAHMOUD;

Abstract


In this thesis we shall discuss some problems concerning to unification theory. The thesis consists of five chapters. The last chapter contains an implementation for solving unification problem and unificand problem under AC-theory. In appendix A we give this implementation.

In chapter 1 we have introduced the main concepts and definitions of first order terms, substitutions, equational unifi­
-cation problem, and properties of unification algorithms. Finally
we define unification of substitutions.

In chapter 2 we have introduced three different unification algorithms for three theories. The first is the classical unifi­
-cation algorithm for an empty theory. The second is the commutative unification algorithm for a finite theory. The third is associative unification algorithm for an infinite theory.

In chapter 3, we include the basic definitions for unificand problem, and the main concepts to solve this unificand problem.
In chapter 4, we define an important problem of Unification which is the unification problem in a combination of equational theories.
In chapter 5, we give an implementation for solving Solving associative-commutative unification problem, Solving system of equations under associative-commutative theory, and Solving system of equations under a combination of differnt functions symbols, each of them is an AC-theories.

In appendix A, we give the implementation of the AC-unification problems discussed in chapter 5 using pascal language.
