Abstract

Classical unification requires a perfect agreement between the terms being unified. In practice, data is seldom error-free and can contain inconsistent information. Classical unification fails when the data is imperfect. We propose the Theory of Relaxed Unification as a new theory that relaxes the constraints of classical unification without requiring special pre-processing of data. Relaxed unification tolerates possible errors and inconsistencies in the data and facilitate reasoning under uncertainty. The Theory of Relaxed Unification is more general and has higher efficacy than the classical Theory of Unification. We present the fundamental concepts and an algorithm for relaxed unification.
