Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The concept of unification plays an important role in logic programming which use only terms as the main data structure. The computation based on unification, however, has some difficulties when we discuss computation with many other data structure. In this paper, we intorduce a concept of constraint solving specializations for equality constraints (CSSECS), and propose a procedure to find a CSSEC for a given equality. The correctness of the procedure is justified by the repeated use of equivalent transformation rules for equality constraints. The concept of CSSECs can overcome difficulties of the concept of (most general) unifiers.
