Instantiation theory is the study of instantiation in an abstract context that is applicable to most commonly studied logical formalisms. The volume begins with a survey of general approaches to the study of instantiation, as found in tree systems, order-sorted algebras, algebraic theories, composita, and instantiation systems. A classification of instantiation systems is given, based on properties of substitutions, degree of type strictness, and well-foundedness of terms. Equational theories and the use of typed variables are studied in terms of quotient homomorphisms and embeddings, respectively. Every instantiation system is a quotient system of a subsystem of first-order term instantiation. The general unification algorithm is developed as an application of the basic theory. Its soundness is rigorously proved, and its completeness and efficiency are verfied for certain classes of instantiation systems. Appropriate applications of the algorithm include unification of first-order terms, order-sorted terms, and first-order formulas modulo alpha-conversion, as well as equational unification using simple congruences. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence ;$v518 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aComputers 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aMathematical logic 606 $aComputer science?Mathematics 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aArtificial Intelligence$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000 606 $aTheory of Computation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16005 606 $aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14002 606 $aMathematical Logic and Formal Languages$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16048 606 $aSymbolic and Algebraic Manipulation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I17052 606 $aAlgorithm Analysis and Problem Complexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16021 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aComputers. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 0$aMathematical logic. 615 0$aComputer science?Mathematics. 615 0$aAlgorithms. 615 14$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aTheory of Computation. 615 24$aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems. 615 24$aMathematical Logic and Formal Languages. 615 24$aSymbolic and Algebraic Manipulation. 615 24$aAlgorithm Analysis and Problem Complexity. 676 $a511.3 700 $aWilliams$b James G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$08470 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996465274803316 996 $aInstantiation Theory$92831335 997 $aUNISA
