Abstract

The present invention is a method for searching an identity base for identities that can be applied to a given formula. The method includes transforming the formulas from an identity base into a standard form, creating a set of code words for said identity base, constructing a lexicographical tree of a code word set of said identity base, and outputting a list of formula numbers from said identity base.
