On Evaluating Decision Procedures for Modal Logic
This paper investigates the evaluation method of decision procedures for multi-modal logic proposed by Giunchiglia and Sebastiani as an adaptation from the evaluation method of Mitchell et al of decision procedures for propositional logic. We compare three dif­ ferent theorem proving approaches, namely the Davis-Putnam-based procedure KSAT, the tableaux-based system KTUS and a transla­ tion approach combined with first-order resolu­ tion. Our results do not support the claims of Giunchiglia and Sebastiani concerning the com­ putational superiority of KSAT over KRIS, and an easy-hard-easy pattern for randomly gener­ ated modal formulae.
