Abstract
In this paper, α-paramodulation and α-GH paramodulation methods are proposed for handling logical formulae with equality in a lattice-valued logic L nF(X) , which has unique ability for representing and reasoning uncertain information from a logical point of view. As an extension of the work of He et al. (in: 2015 10th international conference on intelligent systems and knowledge engineering (ISKE), pp 18–20. IEEE, 2015; Uncertainty modelling in knowledge engineering and decision making: proceedings of the 12th international FLINS conference, pp 477–482. World Scientific, 2016), a new form of α-equality axioms set is proposed. The equivalence between α-equality axioms set and E α-interpretation in L nF(X) with an appropriate level is also established, which may provide a key foundation for equality reasoning in lattice-valued logic. Based on its equivalence, E α-unsatisfiability equivalent transformation is given. Furthermore, α-paramodulation and its restricted method (i.e., α-GH paramodulation) are given. The soundness and completeness of the proposed methods are also examined.
