resolution theorem proving

Resolution theorem proving is a logical method used to determine if a set of statements (or facts) logically entails a specific conclusion. It works by converting all statements into a standard format called clauses, then systematically combining them to find contradictions. If a contradiction arises, it proves the conclusion must be true given the original information. Essentially, it checks whether the conclusion can be derived by repeatedly applying logical rules to the initial facts, helping automated systems verify the validity of arguments or discover missing information.
