We have two polynomial time results for the uniform word problem for a quasivariety Q : (a) The uniform word problem for Q can be solved in polynomial time iff one can find a certain congruence on finite partial algebras in polynomial time. (b) Let Q * be the relational class determined by Q . If any universal Horn class between the universal closure S ( Q *) and the weak embedding closure S̄ ( Q *) of Q * is finitely axiomatizable then the uniform word problem for Q is solvable in polynomial time. This covers Skolem's 1920 solution to the uniform word problem for lattices and Evans' 1953 applications of the weak embeddability property for finite partial V algebras.
