We compare two kinds of unification problems: asymmetric unification and disunification, which are variants of equational unification. Asymmetric unification is a type of equational unification where the solutions keep the right-hand sides of the equations in normal form with respect to the given term rewriting system. In disunification we solve equations and disequations with respect to an equational theory. We contrast the time complexities and decidability of both and show that the two problems are incomparable: there are theories where one is decidable whereas the other is undecidable; for theories which are decidable we show one can be solved in …
