System for Automated Deduction (SAD): Linguistic and Deductive Peculiarities

In this paper a state of the art of a system of automated deduction called SAD is described . An architecture of SAD corresponds well to a modern vision of the Evidence Algorithm programme, initiated by Academician V.Glushkov.

Herbrand's Theorem and Equational Reasoning: Problems and Solutions

The famous Herbrand's theorem of mathematical logic plays an important role in automated theorem proving. In the first part of this article, we recall the theorem and formulate a number of natural decision problems related to it. Somewhat surprisingly, these problems happen to be equivalent. One of these problems is the so-called simultaneous rigid E-unification problem. In the second part, we survey recent result on the simultaneous rigid E-unification problem.

Kanger's Choices in Automated Reasoning

This article explains these choices and their place in modern automated deduction.
