20 AR basics Expressiveness of SAT is not always enough First Order Logic (FOL) o Symbolic knowledge representation and reasoning o Building blocks Simple terms: constants, variables Complex terms: functions Atoms: predicates Literals: atom or negation Formulas: connectives and quantifiers Partial order between elements a, b, c, x, y, z, f a, b, g(z) p x, y, a = b p x, y, p(x, y) x y: p(f x, y) x y f x, g x g(x) 20

21 Theorem proving AR basics o H set of formulas: assumptions, hypotheses o φ formula: conjecture o Theorem proving problem: H φ? o Drawback: infinitely many interpretations on infinitely many domains In theory o Gödel: completeness o Turing: undecidability o Herbrand: semi-decidability 21

22 AR basics Applications o Software and hardware verification o Static analysis o Reasoning in knowledge bases o Mathematical theorem proving Example: arrays o Axioms a, i, j: i = j a i = a j a, v, i, j: i = j store a, i, v a, v, i, j: i j store a, i, v o Theorem j = v j = a[j] a, i, j: store store a, i, a j, j, a i = store(store a, j, a i, i, a j ) 22
