Resolution Methods for the Decision Problem

This volume contains work on the decision problem done in
Kazan (Russia),   Tallinn (Estonia), and Vienna (Austria). The
authors met several times to   discuss and exchange their
results and finally decided to write this            monograph
together. Besides a unified treatment of previously
published results there are many new results first presented
in this volume.
The   monograph opens with an introduction and a chapter on
terminology, followed by chapters on:
- Semantic clash resolution as decision procedure,
-      Completeness of ordering refinements,
- Semantic tree based resolution         variants,
- Deciding the class K by an ordering refinement,
- A            resolution based method for building finite models.
A final chapter on         applications completes the volume.
