Abstract

The combination of higher-order and first-order unification algorithms is studied. We present algorithms to compute a complete set of unifiers of two simply typed λ-terms w.r.t. the union of α, β and η conversion and a first-order equational theory E. The algorithms are extensions of Huet’s work and assume that a complete unification algorithm for E is given. Our completeness proofs require E to be at least regular.
