On Equivalence Transformations for Term Rewriting Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes some simple methods, based on the Church-Rosser property, for testing the equivalence in a restricted domain of two reduction systems. Using the Church-Rosser property, sufficient conditions for the equivalence of abstract reduction systems are proved. These conditions can be effectively applied to test the equivalence in a restricted domain of term rewriting systems. In addition , equivalence transformation rules for term rewriting systems are proposed.

On certain semigroups of transformations that preserve double direction equivalence
Let TX be the full transformation semigroups on the set X. For an equivalence E on X, let TE(X) = {α ∈ TX : ∀(x, y) ∈ E ⇔ (xα, yα) ∈ E}It is known that TE(X) is a subsemigroup of TX. In this paper, we discussthe Green's *-relations, certain *-ideal and certain Rees quotient semigroup for TE(X).
متن کاملHow to Prove Equivalence of Term Rewriting Systems without Induction
A simple method is proposed for testing equivalence in a restricted domain of two given term rewriting systems. By using the Church-Rosser property and the teachability of term rewriting systems, the method allows us to prove equivalence of these systems without the explicit use of induction; this proof usually requires some kind of induction. The method proposed is a general extension of induc...

Transforming conditional term rewrite systems (CTRSs) into unconditional systems (TRSs) is a common approach to analyze properties of CTRSs via the simpler framework of unconditional rewriting. In the past many different transformations have been introduced for this purpose. One class of transformations, so-called unravelings, have been analyzed extensively in the past. In this paper we provide...
متن کاملConfluence of Conditional Term Rewrite Systems via Transformations
Conditional term rewriting is an intuitive yet complex extension of term rewriting. In order to benefit from the simpler framework of unconditional rewriting, transformations have been defined to eliminate the conditions of conditional term rewrite systems. Recent results provide confluence criteria for conditional term rewrite systems via transformations, yet they are restricted to CTRSs with ...
متن کاملConfluence of nearly orthogonal infinitary term rewriting systems
We give a relatively simple coinductive proof of confluence, modulo equivalence of root-active terms, of nearly orthogonal infinitary term rewriting systems. Nearly orthogonal systems allow certain root overlaps, but no non-root overlaps. Using a slightly more complicated method we also show confluence modulo equivalence of hypercollapsing terms. The condition we impose on root overlaps is simi...
