A partial solution for D-unification based on a reduction to AC1-unification

A partial solution for D-unification based on a reduction to AC1-unification

Evelyne Contejean

Abstract

We show that deciding unification modulo both-sided distributivity of a symbol * over a symbol + can be reduced to AC1-unification for all unification problems which do not involve the + operator. Moreover, we can describe ``almost all'' solutions in a finite way, although there are in general infinitely many minimal solutions for such problems. As a consequence, *-problems appear as a good candidate for a notion of solved-form for D-unification.
