    Abstract

    Resolution principle proposed originally by Robinson in 1965 has dominated automated deduction for over three decades while the current most successful automated deduction systems are based on resolution. In this paper, we consider a generalization of the standard resolution principle and their variation since then, it is proposed as a multi-ary, dynamic, contradiction separation based inference rule for automated deduction, where the existing resolution rule and its variations are its special cases. The key concepts and some conclusions are briefly outlined in this short paper.
