A method is presented for incrementally computing success patterns of logic programs. The set of success patterns of a logic program with respect to an abstraction is formulated as the success set of an equational logic program modulo an equality theory that is induced by the abstraction. The method is exemplified via depth and stump abstractions. Also presented are algorithms for computing most general unifiers modulo equality theories induced by depth and stump abstractions.
