Vademecum of Divergent Term Rewriting Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents two structural patterns to detect divergence of the completion procedure, followed by a detailed overview of diierent examples of divergent rewrite systems. Further it introduces ve different empirical methods to avoid divergence, applicable during a session with a rewrite rule laboratory.

Modular Termination of r-Consistent and Left-Linear Term Rewriting Systems
A modular property of term rewriting systems is one that holds for the direct sum of two disjoint term rewriting systems iff it holds for every involved term rewriting system. A term rewriting system is r-consistent iff there is no term that can be rewritten to two different variables. We show that the subclass of left-linear and r-consistent term rewriting systems has the modular termination p...
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...
متن کاملPersistence of Termination for Term Rewriting Systems with Ordered Sorts
A property is persistent if for any many-sorted term rewriting system , has the property if and only if term rewriting system , which results from by omitting its sort information, has the property . Zantema showed that termination is persistent for term rewriting systems without collapsing or duplicating rules. In this paper, we show that the Zantema’s result can be extended to term rewriting ...
متن کاملPersistence of Termination for Locally Confluent Overlay Term Rewriting Systems
A property is called persistent if for any manysorted term rewriting system , has the property if and only if term rewriting system , which results from by omitting its sort information, has the property . In this paper, we show that termination is persistent for locally confluent overlay term rewriting systems and we give the example as application of this result. Furthermore we obtain that co...
متن کاملTerm Graph Rewriting and Strong Sequentiality
This paper propagates the use of term graph rewriting systems as a formal computational model. The deenition of both term graphs and the reduction relation on term graphs are more complex than their corresponding notions in term rewriting systems. Consequently, it is often believed that reasoning about term graph rewriting systems is inherently more diicult than reasoning about term rewriting s...
