Abstract

In this paper, we integrate monotonic preorders in tableaux using a simultaneous rigid unification calculus. For the case where monotonicity is not considered, we have defined a sound, complete and terminating calculus which has been improved by using rewrite techniques. Moreover we present a sound, complete but not terminating calculus to solve simultaneous rigid monotonic preordered problems.
