Abstract

This paper focuses on resolution-based automated reasoning approaches in a lattice-valued first-order logic LF( X) with truth-values defined in a logical algebraic structure—lattice implication algebra (LIA), which aims at providing the logic foundation to represent and handle both imprecision and incomparability. In order to improve the efficiency of α - resolution approach proposed for LF( X), firstly the concepts of α - lock resolution principle and deduction are introduced for lattice-valued propositional logic LP( X) based on LIA, along with its soundness and weak completeness theorems. Then all the results are extended into LF( X) by using Lifting Lemma. Finally an α - lock resolution automated reasoning algorithm in LF( X) is proposed for the implementation purpose. This work provides a theoretical foundation for more efficient resolution-based automated reasoning algorithm in lattice-valued logic LF( X).
