Resolution Examples Soundness of resolution rule. Res*(F) Proposition 1: If \emptyset \in Res*(F) then F is unsatisfiable. Proof : (by contradiction and using soundness of resolution rule) Proposition 2: If F is unsatisfiable then \emptyset \in Res*(F) Proof : (by induction on #prop_variables appearing in F Base case : when F has only one variable.
