Abstract: The simplest recursive program in Horn clause languages is of the form : 8 ? ! ? : p(fact) / : p(lef t) / p(right) : / p(goal) : This corresponds to append--like programs. The two most relevant problems concerning this class are the halting and the emptiness (existence of at least one solution) problems. The halting problem has been proved undecidable in the general case in [7]. Here we establish the undecidability of the emptiness problem in the general case. The (non--)linearity (each... (Update)
