On the Power of Alexander Templates (Extended Abstract)
Summary: Alexander Templates (AT): bottom-up evaluation for Horn programs generalizing the Alexander Method to partially-bound terms and repeated variables, with unfolding to cut intermediate supplementary atoms. Proves one-to-one correspondence with memoizing SLD-AL, yielding correctness, complexity and sip-optimality (except supplementary atoms), matching fact/solution counts, and a technique to improve termination.
