Abstract

A resolution proof procedure that operates on well-formed formulae with all quantifiers in place is presented. Extension of the unification algorithm ρ Q-unification (i.e. with quantifiers in place) is also discussed. The procedure involves a single inference rule called WFF-resolution which is proved to be sound and complete.
