Model Elimination is the name attached to a pair of proof procedure s invented by Donald W. Loveland, the first of which was published in 1968 in the Journal of the ACM. Their primary purpose is to carry out automated theorem proving , though they can readily be extended to logic programming , including the more general disjunctive logic programming . Model Elimination is closely related to Resolution logic resolution while also bearing characteristics of a Method of analytic tableaux Tableaux method. It is a progenitor of the SLD resolution procedure used in the Prolog logic programming language. While somewhat eclipsed by attention to and progress in Resolution theorem provers, Model Elimination has continued to attract the attention of researchers and software developers.

Image Cugaevalg.png 700px In the first step, a potassium xanthate is formed out of the alkoxide and carbon disulfide CS sub 2 sub . With iodomethane , it is transformed into a xanthate . Image Chugaev2.gif At about 200 C, the alkene is formed by a elimination reaction syn elimination . In a 6 membered cyclic transition state the hydrogen atom is moved from the C atom to the sulfur. The side product decomposes to carbonyl sulfide OCS and methanethiol .

Quantifier elimination is a concept of simplification used in mathematical logic , model theory , and theoretical computer science . One way of classifying Well formed formula formulas is by the amount of quantifiers quantification . Formulae with less Quantifiers Nesting depth of quantifier alternation are thought of as being simpler, with the quantifier free formulae as the simplest. A logical theory theory has quantifier elimination if for every formula math alpha math , there exists another formula math alpha QF math without quantifiers which is Logical equivalence equivalent to it modulo the theory .
