Popis: Theorem proving is a classical AI problem having a broad range of applications. Since its complexity grows exponentially with the size of the problem, many researchers have proposed methods to parallelize the theorem proving process. Here, we use the massive parallelism of molecular reactions to implement parallel theorem provers. In particular, we show that the resolution refutation proof procedure can be naturally and efficiently implemented by DNA hybridization. Novel DNA encoding schemes, i.e. linear encoding and hairpin encoding, are presented and their effectiveness is verified by biochemical experiments.
