Abstract
In this paper, the satisfiability problem of a linear system of equati ons for quantifiers is discussed. This problem arises from the mechani cal theorem-proving on modules. A discriminating condition for this pr oblem is obtained which places no restriction on quantifiers. Some app lications to Abelian groups, elementary number theory, vector spaces, ect. are discussed.
