A corrected version of the algorithm is provided.
The correction ensures the algorithm's correctness.
Abstract
We investigate the Paterson-Wegman-de Champeaux linear-time unification algorithm. We show that there is a small mistake in the de Champeaux presentation of the algorithm and we provide a fix.
