Describe the proof by resolution technique


Mathematical Calculation

Use resolution to prove the following

  1. (^-pvee t),(^-qvee s),(^-rvee t),(p vee qvee rvee u)vdash (svee tvee u).
  2. (^-rvee u),(^-uvee ^-w),(rvee^-w)vdash w.
  3. (pvee ^-q),(^-wvee q),(wvee qvee r), ^-pvdash r.
  4. (tvee ^-evee d),(^-tvee c),((ewedge ^-g)vee ^-dvee p), (tvee cvee ^-d vee g),\ (^-pvee ^-g),^-cvdash ^-(dwedge e).

Use the semantic tableaux to test satisfiability of the following proposals

  1. ^-(p
ightarrow q)wedge(^-pvee q)
  2. (pvee ^-q)wedge(qwedge ^-r)wedge(r
ightarrow p)
  3. [(p
ightarrow(^-q
ightarrow r))wedge(p
ightarrow^-q)]
ightarrow(p
ightarrow r)
