Relative Undecidability in Term Rewriting Part 2: The Confluence Hierarchy

نویسنده

  • Alfons Geser
چکیده

For a hierarchy of properties of term rewriting systems related to confluence we prove relative undecidability, i.e., for implications X ⇒ Y in the hierarchy the property X is undecidable for term rewriting systems satisfying Y . For some of the implications either X or ¬X is semi-decidable, for others neither X nor ¬X is semi-decidable. We prove most of these results for linear term rewrite systems.

Degrees of Undecidability in Rewriting

Undecidability of various properties of first order term rewriting systems is well-known. An undecidable property can be classified by the complexity of the formula defining it. This gives rise to a hierarchy of distinct levels of undecidability, starting from the arithmetical hierarchy classifying properties using first order arithmetical formulas and continuing into the analytic hierarchy, wh...

The -Completeness of Most of the Properties of Rewriting Systems You Care About (and Productivity)

Most of the standard pleasant properties of term rewriting systems are undecidable; to wit: local confluence, confluence, normalization, termination, and completeness. Mere undecidability is insufficient to rule out a number of possibly useful properties: For instance, if the set of normalizing term rewriting systems were recursively enumerable, there would be a program yielding “yes” in finite...

Relative Undecidability in the Termination Hierarchy of Single Rewrite Rules

1 I n t r o d u c t i o n A fundamental problem in the theory of term rewriting is the detection of termination: for a fixed system of rewrite rules, determine whether there are infinite rewrite sequences. Besides termination a number of related properties are of interest, linearly ordered by implication: polynomial termination ~ w-termination ~ total termination simple termination ~ non-self-e...
