Abstract

In this paper, we describe the design of a parallel theorem prover for first order logic. The parallel theorem algorithm is based on the divide-andconquer strategy. The concept of restricted substitution is used to reduce the number of the ground clauses generated during the operation of this theorem prover. In this manner, the ground clause set generated by the theorem prover will be much smaller than that generated directly by Herbrand universe.
