Extending Model Checking to Efficient Propositional Inference

Guillermo de Ita Luna, Luis Polanco-Balcazar, and Omar Pérez-Barrios

Abstract—Abstract—Propositional Inference is of special concern to Artificial Intelligence, and it has a direct relationship to automatic reasoning. Given a Knowledge Base Σ and a query Φ, propositional inference is concern to determine if Φ can be logically deduced from Σ, that is, if Σ ├ Φ. We show a deterministic and a complete polynomial time algorithm for given the knowledge base Σ in Disjunctive Form and Φ in Conjunctive Form, to decide if Σ ├ Φ.

Index Terms—Automatic reasoning, efficient propositional inference, knowledge base systems.
