  5. 1. Predicate logic - Syntax • variables • function symbols • terms • predicate symbols • atoms • Boolean connectives • quantifiers • The function symbols and predicate symbols, each of given arity, comprise a signature . • A ground termis a term without any variables 13

  6. Predicate logic - Semantics • Universe (aka Domain) : Set U • Variables – values in U • Function symbols – (total) functions over U • Predicate symbols – relations over U • Terms – values in U • Formulas – Boolean truth values • Interpretation of a formula 14

  7. Algorithmic problems • F – a well formed formula, A – an interpretation • Validity(F): |= F ? (is F true in every interpretation?) • Satisfiability (F): F satisfiable? • Entailment (F, G): F |= G? (does F entail G?) • Model(A,F): A |=F ? • Solve (A,F):find an assignment  such that A,  |=F • Solve (F):find a substitution  such that |=F • Abduce(F): find G with certain properties: such that G |= F 15

  8. How can we do it? Suppose we want to prove H |= G (entailment). • Equivalently, we can prove that • F := H → G is valid. • Equivalently, we can prove that • ~F, i.e., H ~G is unsatisfiable. • This principle of “refutation theorem proving” is the basis of almost all automated theorem proving methods. 16

  9. How can we do it? • Use normal forms • Find a way to prove refutation – Herbrand model and theorems 16

  10. Normal forms • Study of normal forms is motivated by: • reduction of logical concepts • efficient data structures for theorem proving. • The main problem in first-order logic is the treatment of quantifiers. The normal form transformations are intended to eliminate many of them. 17

  11. Normal forms • Prenex normal form • CNF • Eliminate existential quantifiers and conjunctions => Normal form prefix matrix 18

  12. belongs to Herbrand universe • Herbrand universe • Herbrand base • Ground instances of a clause (set of clauses) S H = 19

  13. Examples 20

  14. Herbrand interpretation • H-interpretation 21

  15. Herbrand interpretation • H-interpretationI* correspinding to an interpretation I for a set of clauses S 22

  16. Herbrand theorem • Lemma. If an interpretation I over a domain D satisfies the set of clauses S (i.e., the set S is satisfiable under that interpretation), then any H-interpretationI* corresponding to I also satisfies S • Theorem. A set of clauses S is inconsistent iff S is false for any H-interpretation of S 23

  17. Semantic Trees • Semantic trees • Complete semantic trees Herbrand base of S is 24

  18. Semantic Trees Herbrand base of S is • Complete semantic tree 25

  19. Closed semantic trees 26

  20. Closed semantic trees Failure nodes Inference nodes 27

  21. Review of definitions • Basic instance of a clause C in S = an instance C' of a clause C from S obtained by replacing the variables it contains with elements of the Herbrand universe • Complete semantic tree (CST) = for any leaf of the tree, I(N) contains either Ai or ~Ai (i.e., any path from the root to a leaf contains all elements of the Herbrand base either in positive or negative form) • Failure node in a ST = I(N) falsifies a basic instance of a clause in S and I(N') does not falsify any instance of a clause in S, with N' the immediate predecesor of N • Closed semantic tree = any branch has (ends in) a failure nod • Inference node in a ST = all the node's successors are failure nodes 28

  22. Herbrand's theorem • Idea: to test if a set S of clauses is unsatisfiable we have to test if S is unsatisfiable only for H-interpretations (interpretations over the Herbrand universe) First version of HT • A set of clauses S is unsatisfiable iff for any semantic tree of S there exists a finite closed semantic tree • (any complete semantic tree of S is a closed semantic tree) 29

  23. Herbrand's theorem Second version of HT • A set of clauses S is unsatisfiable iff there exists a finite set S' of ground instances of S which is unsatisfiable • (the Herbrand base of S is unsatisfiable) 30

  24. Powerful inference rules - Resolution Resolution • Binary resolution • Factorization • General resolution • Paramodulation 31

  25. Resolution • Theorem. Resolution is sound. That is, all derived formulas are entailed by the given ones • Theorem: Resolution is refutationally complete. • That is, if a clause set is unsatisfiable, then Resolution will derive the empty clause eventually. • If a clause set is unsatisfiable and closed under the application of resolution inference rule then it contains the empty clause. 35

  26. Completeness of Resolution complete semantic tree inference node failure node failure node closed semantic tree 36

  27. Completeness of Resolution inference node failure node failure node closed semantic tree inference node 37

  28. Completeness of Resolution • Lifting lemma If C1' si C2' are basic instances of C1 and C2 and then there is a clause C such that C' is an instance of C • Theorem: Resolution is refutationally complete. • A set of clauses S is unsatisfiable iff there is a deduction of the empty clause from S. 38

  29. Factorization • Resolution si not complete without factorization 32

  30. Factorization – Russell's antinomy A barber shaves men if and only if they do not shave themselves. Should the barber shave himself or not? (A1) ~Shaves(x,x)  Shaves(barber,x) (A2) Shaves(barber,y)  ~Shaves (y,y) (C1) Shaves(x,x)  Shaves (barber,x) (C2) ~Shaves (barber,y)  ~Shaves (y,y) (Res1) ~Shaves (barber,x)  Shaves (barber,x) (Res2) Shaves(barber,barber)  ~Shaves (barber,barber) (FC1): Shaves (barber,barber) (FC2): ~Shaves (barber,barber) See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_paradox 32

  31. Prover9 and Mace4 • Prover9 is an automated theorem prover for first-order and equational logic • Mace4 searches for finite models and counterexamples • Prover9 is the successor of the Otter prover. • http://www.cs.unm.edu/~mccune/prover9/ 33

  32. Factorization – Russell's antinomy Prover 9 -Shaves(x,x) -> Shaves(barber,x). Shaves(barber,y) -> - Shaves (y,y). 1 -Shaves(x,x) -> Shaves(barber,x) # label(non_clause). [assumption]. 2 Shaves(barber,x) -> -Shaves(x,x) # label(non_clause). [assumption]. 3 Shaves(x,x) | Shaves(barber,x). [clausify(1)]. 4 -Shaves(barber,x) | -Shaves(x,x). [clausify(2)]. 5 Shaves(barber,barber). [factor(3,a,b)]. 6 $F. [factor(4,a,b),unit_del(a,5)]. 34

  33. Resolution strategies • Level resolution • Unit resolution • Set of support • Linear resolution • Linear input resolution • Hiper-resolution • Ordered resolution • Framed literal resolution 39

  34. The Boolean Satisfiability Problem • Given: A Boolean formula • Can F evaluate to 1 (true)? • – Is F satisfiable? • – If yes, return values to xi’s (satisfying • assignment) that make F true • 3-SAT – S.A. Cook 1971 • NP-complete problem • 2-SAT – polynomial time • Horn-SAT 39

  35. The Boolean Satisfiability Problem • Why is SAT important? Theoretical importance: • – First NP-complete problem (Cook, 1971) Many practical applications: • – Model Checking • – Automatic Test Pattern Generation • – Combinational Equivalence Checking • – Planning in AI • – Automated Theorem Proving • – Software Verification • – … 39

  36. Powerful inference rule: Paramodulation • C1: P(a) • C2: a=b • If C1 contains a term t and there is a unity clause C2: t=s then we can infer a new clause from C1 by the substitution of a single occurrence of t in C1 with s. • Paramodulation is a generalisation of that rule 39

  37. Paramodulation • Be C1 and C2 two clauses, which have no variables in common. If C1: L[t]  C1' C2: r = s  C2' • where L[t] is a literal containing t , C1' and C2' are clauses, and = mgu(t,r), then we can infer by paramodulation L [s]  C1'  C2' • where L [s] is obtained by replacing only one single occurrence of t in L with s. • Binary paramodulant 40

  38. Paramodulation • Paramodulation with factorization – general paramodulation • Paramodulation with resolution is sound and refutationally complete 41

  39. Example Group axioms % Associativity (x * (y * z)) = ((x * y) * z). % Identity element ((x * e) = x) & ((e * x) = x). % Inverse element ((x * i(x)) = e) & ((i(x) * x)=e). Prove % Right regular element ((f1 * f2) = (f0 * f2)) -> (f1 = f0). 42

  40. 1 x * e = x & e * x = x [assumption]. • 2 x * i(x) = e & i(x) * x = e [assumption]. • 3 f1 * f2 = f0 * f2 -> f1 = f0 [goal]. • 4 x * (y * z) = (x * y) * z. [assumption]. • 5 (x * y) * z = x * (y * z). [copy(4),flip(a)]. • 6 x * e = x. [clausify(1)]. • 7 e * x = x. [clausify(1)]. • 8 x * i(x) = e. [clausify(2)]. • 9 i(x) * x = e. [clausify(2)]. • 10 f0 * f2 = f1 * f2. [deny(3)]. • 11 f1 * f2 = f0 * f2. [copy(10),flip(a)]. • 12 f0 != f1. [deny(3)]. • 13 f1 != f0. [copy(12),flip(a)]. • 14 x * (i(x) * y) = y.[para(8(a,1),5(a,1,1)),rewrite([7(2)]),flip(a)]. • e * z = x * (i(x) * z) [8,5] • z = x * (i(x) * z) [7] y = x * (i(x) * y) • x * (i(x) * y) = y [flip]

  41. 15 x * (y * i(x * y)) = e. [para(8(a,1),5(a,1)),flip(a)]. • 17 i(x) * (x * y) = y. [para(9(a,1),5(a,1,1)),rewrite([7(2)]),flip(a)]. • 22 i(f1) * (f0 * f2) = f2. [para(11(a,1),17(a,1,2))]. • 27 i(f1) * f0 = e. [para(22(a,1),15(a,1,2,2,1)),rewrite([5(8),8(7),6(5)])]. • 29 f1 = f0. [para(27(a,1),14(a,1,2)),rewrite([6(3)])]. • 30 $F. [resolve(29,a,13,a)].

  42. SAT Solvers • Davis-Putnam-Logemann-Loveland (DPLL) algorithm was one of the first SAT search algorithms (Davis and Putnam 1960; Davis, Logemman and Loveland 1962) • P & ~Q & (~PQR) & (P ~S) • ~Q & (QR) • R • (P ← true, Q ← false, R ← true, S ← false) proving that the original formula is satisfiable. 39

  43. SAT Solvers • A formula may cause the algorithm to branch • the search through a branch reaches a dead end the moment a clause is deemed false—a conflicting clause—and all variations of the assignment that has been partially constructed up to this point can be discarded. 39

  44. SAT Solvers The formula is satisfiable by the existence of (P ← false, Q ← true, R ← true).  39
