Overview:
In this paper we show that a class of unquantified multi-sorted set-theoretic formulae involving the notions of powerset, general union, and singleton has a solvable satisfiability problem. We exhibit a normalization procedure that given a model for a formula in our theory, it produces a simpler and "a priori" bounded model whose cardinality depends solely on the size of the given formula.
