Comparison of fuzzy implication operators by means of weighting strategy in resolution based automated reasoning

Current resolution based automated theorem provers adopt strategies to avoid many fruitless paths by their judicious and “informed” application. Without a suitable strategy guiding the inference, too many often irrelevant clauses may derive, and those clauses may lead the program easily into a blind alley. Therefore, the strategies are the must in any serious use of automated reasoning, Weighting strategy [1] is one of the necessary strategies to produce an answer in allowable time and space along with the set of support strategy in the area of the resolution based automated reaaoning. But, the weighting strategy is still based on the user’s knowledge or intuition of the problem to be solved [2].
