Abstract: We review known results and improve known boundaries between the decidable and the undecidable cases of second-order unification with various restrictions on second-order variables. As a key tool we prove an undecidability result that provides a partial solution to an open problem about simultaneous rigid E-unification. (Update)

Context of citations to this paper:   More

.... separated decidable from undecidable unification problems by introducing several restrictions of a unification expression [1, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17]. It is also well known that the second order matching problem is NP complete [2] Huet and Lang [14] have designed a...

...problems, like unification, become undecidable. The unification problem is crucial for applying resolution techniques. We proved [61, 65, 66] that the problem is undecidable even for unification problems with only one second order variable, and where this variable occurs only...
