Abstract: Unification modulo the theory of Boolean algebras has been investigated
by several autors. Nevertheless, the exact complexity of the decision
problem for unification with constants and general unification was not
known. In this research note, we show that the decision problem is \Pi
p
2 -
complete for unification with constants and PSPACE-complete for general
unification. In contrast, the decision problem for elementary unification
(where the terms to be unified contain only symbols of the... (Update)
