A Computer Implementation of the Transformations of Formulas into Prenex Normal Form

Provenza, Clinton E.2013-06-192013-06-191974http://hdl.handle.net/10919/20225The purpose of this paper is to explain a computerized process whereby any well-formed formula (wff) of first order predicate calculus can be moved to its prenex normal form (PNF). The main features of the program demonstrate some of the interesting capabilities of the WATFIV compiler in utilizing Markov Algorithms.application/pdfenIn CopyrightA Computer Implementation of the Transformations of Formulas into Prenex Normal FormTechnical reportCS74010-Rhttp://eprints.cs.vt.edu/archive/00000764/01/CS74010-R.pdf
