Abstract
A standard result from unification theory says that if a finite set E of equations between finite terms is unifiable, then there exists a most general unifier for E. In this paper, the theorem is generalized to the case where E may be infinite. In order to obtain this result, substitutions are allowed to have an infinite domain.
