In this paper we use the cardinality to increase the expressiveness efficiency of propositional calculus and improve the efficiency of resolution methods. Hence to express propositional problems and logical constraints we introduce the pair formulas (ρ, ℒ) which mean that “at least ρ literals among those of a list ℒ are true”. This makes a generalization of propositional clauses which express ”At least one literal is true among those of the clause”. We propose a cardinality resolution proof system for which we prove both completenesss and decidability. A linear proof for Pigeon-hole problem is given in this system showing the advantage of cardinality.
