Derivational Complexity of Knuth-Bendix Orders Revisited

نویسنده

  • Georg Moser
چکیده

We study the derivational complexity of rewrite systems R compatible with KBO, if the signature of R is in nite. We show that the known bounds on the derivation height are preserved, if R ful ls some mild conditions. This allows us to obtain bounds on the derivational height of non simply terminating TRSs. Furthermore, we re-establish the 2-recursive upper-bound on the derivational complexity of nite rewrite systems R compatible with KBO.

AC-KBO Revisited

We consider various definitions of AC-compatible KnuthBendix orders. The orders of Steinbach and of Korovin and Voronkov are revisited. The former is enhanced to a more powerful AC-compatible order and we modify the latter to amend its lack of monotonicity on non-ground terms. We further present new complexity results. An extension reflecting the recent proposal of subterm coefficients in stand...

An AC-Compatible Knuth-Bendix Order

We introduce a family of AC-compatible Knuth-Bendix simplification orders which are AC-total on ground terms. Our orders preserve attractive features of the original Knuth-Bendix orders such as existence of a polynomial-time algorithm for comparing terms; computationally efficient approximations, for instance comparing weights of terms; and preference of light terms over heavy ones. This makes ...

On Transfinite Knuth-Bendix Orders

In this paper we discuss the recently introduced transfinite Knuth-Bendix orders. We prove that any such order with finite subterm coefficients and for a finite signature is equivalent to an order using ordinals below ω, that is, finite sequences of natural numbers of a fixed length. We show that this result does not hold when subterm coefficients are infinite. However, we prove that in this ge...

Knuth-Bendix Completion with a Termination Checker

Knuth-Bendix completion takes as input a set of universal equations and attempts to generate a convergent rewriting system with the same equational theory. An essential parameter is a reduction order used at runtime to ensure termination of intermediate rewriting systems. Any reduction order can be used in principle, but modern completion tools typically implement only a few classes of such ord...

Formalizing Knuth-Bendix Orders and Knuth-Bendix Completion

We present extensions of our Isabelle Formalization of Rewriting that cover two historically related concepts: the Knuth-Bendix order and the Knuth-Bendix completion procedure. The former, besides being the first development of its kind in a proof assistant, is based on a generalized version of the Knuth-Bendix order. We compare our version to variants from the literature and show all propertie...
