One important method for making ET rules uses logical formulas. Among logical formulas, unsatis able con- junctions of nite atoms, each of which is represented by an atom set in this paper, are especially useful for making many ET rules that are used for constructing efficient pro- grams. This paper proposes a method of proving unsatis ability of an atom set based on computation by ET rules. The proposed method is recursive, in the sense that, during proving the given atom set, it may nd a new atom set based on subset relation or in- ductive structure. Since our proposed method incorporates search based on subset and inductive relations, it can be used to prove unsatis ability of various atom sets that can- not be proven by conventional methods.}, pages = {4419--4430}, title = {PROOF OF UNSATISFIABILITY OF ATOM SETS BASED ON COMPUTATION BY EQUIVALENT TRANSFORMATION RULES}, volume = {9}, year = {2013} }
