</header>

<p>In <a href="Mathematical_logic" title="Mathematical logic">mathematical logic</a>, an <b>uninterpreted function</b><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or <b>function symbol</b><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is one that has no other property than its name and <i><a href="Arity" title="Arity">n-ary</a></i> form. Function symbols are used, together with constants and variables, to form <a href="Term_(logic)" title="Term (logic)">terms</a>.

</p><p>The <b>theory of uninterpreted functions</b> is also sometimes called the <b>free theory</b>, because it is freely generated, and thus a <a href="Free_object" title="Free object">free object</a>, or the <b>empty theory</b>, being the <a href="Theory_(mathematical_logic)" title="Theory (mathematical logic)">theory</a> having an empty set of <a href="Sentence_(mathematical_logic)" title="Sentence (mathematical logic)">sentences</a> (in analogy to an <a href="Initial_algebra" title="Initial algebra">initial algebra</a>). Theories with a non-empty set of equations are known as <a href="Equational_theory" class="mw-redirect" title="Equational theory">equational theories</a>. The <a href="Satisfiability" title="Satisfiability">satisfiability</a> problem for free theories is solved by <a href="Syntactic_unification" class="mw-redirect" title="Syntactic unification">syntactic unification</a>; algorithms for the latter are used by interpreters for various computer languages, such as <a href="Prolog" title="Prolog">Prolog</a>. Syntactic unification is also used in algorithms for the satisfiability problem for certain other equational theories, see <a href="Unification_(computer_science)" title="Unification (computer science)">Unification (computer science)</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Example">Example</h2></div>

<p>As an example of uninterpreted functions for <a href="SMT-LIB" class="mw-redirect" title="SMT-LIB">SMT-LIB</a>, if this input is given to an <a href="Satisfiability_modulo_theories" title="Satisfiability modulo theories">SMT solver</a>:

</p>

<div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr mw-highlight-lines" dir="ltr"><pre>(declare-fun f (Int) Int)

(assert (= (f 10) 1))

</pre></div>

<p>the SMT solver would return "This input is satisfiable". That happens because <code>f</code> is an uninterpreted function (i.e., all that is known about <code>f</code> is its <a href="Signature_(logic)" title="Signature (logic)">signature</a>), so it is possible that <code>f(10) = 1</code>. But by applying the input below:

</p>

<div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr mw-highlight-lines" dir="ltr"><pre>(declare-fun f (Int) Int)

(assert (= (f 10) 1))

(assert (= (f 10) 42))

</pre></div>

<p>the SMT solver would return "This input is unsatisfiable". That happens because <code>f</code>, being a function, can never return different values for the same input.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Discussion">Discussion</h2></div>

<p>The <a href="Decision_problem" title="Decision problem">decision problem</a> for free theories is particularly important, because many theories can be reduced by it.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Free theories can be solved by searching for <a href="Common_subexpression" class="mw-redirect" title="Common subexpression">common subexpressions</a> to form the <a href="Congruence_closure" class="mw-redirect" title="Congruence closure">congruence closure</a>. Solvers include <a href="Satisfiability_modulo_theories" title="Satisfiability modulo theories">satisfiability modulo theories</a> solvers.
