Introduction to Mathematics of Satisfiability (Chapman & Hall/CRC Studies in Informatics Series)
Introduction to Mathematics of Satisfiability - Chapman & Hall/CRC Studies in Informatics Series Author:Victor W. Marek This book focuses on the satisfiability of theories consisting of propositional logic formulas. It first deals with logic fundamentals, including the syntax of propositional logic, complete sets of functors, normal forms, the Craig lemma, and compactness. The book then examines clauses, their proof theory and semantics, and basic complexity issu... more »es of propositional logic. The final chapters on knowledge representation cover finite runs of Turing machines and encodings into SAT. The author also shows how constraint satisfaction systems can be worked out by satisfiability solvers and how answer set programming can be used for knowledge representation.« less
