Abstract: . The inefficiency of AC-completion is mainly due to the doubly exponential number of AC-unifiers and thereby of critical pairs generated. We present AC-complete E-unification, a new technique whose goal is to reduce the number of AC-critical pairs inferred by performing unification in a extension E of AC (e.g. ACU, Abelian groups, Boolean rings, ...) in the process of normalized completion [21]. The idea is to represent complete sets of AC-unifiers by (smaller) sets of E-unifiers. Not only... (Update)
