    A Critical Pair Criterion for Level-Commutation of Conditional Term Rewriting Systems

    The rewrite relation of a conditional term rewriting system (CTRS) can be divided into a hierarchy of rewrite relations of term rewriting systems (TRSs) by the depth of the recursive use of rewrite relation in...

    Confluence and Commutation for Nominal Rewriting Systems with Atom-Variables

    Nominal rewriting was introduced as an extension of first-order term rewriting by a binding mechanism based on the nominal approach. Recently, a new format of nominal rewriting has been introduced where rewrit...

    Automated Proofs of Unique Normal Forms w.r.t. Conversion for Term Rewriting Systems

    The notion of normal forms is ubiquitous in various equivalent transformations. Confluence (CR), one of the central properties of term rewriting systems (TRSs), concerns uniqueness of normal forms

    Parallel Closure Theorem for Left-Linear Nominal Rewriting Systems

    Nominal rewriting has been introduced as an extension of first-order term rewriting by a binding mechanism based on the nominal approach. In this paper, we extend Huet’s parallel closure theorem and its genera...

    Nominal Confluence Tool

    Nominal rewriting is a framework of higher-order rewriting introduced in (Fernández, Gabbay & Mackie, 2004; Fernández & Gabbay, 2007). Recently, (Suzuki et al., 2015) revisited confluence of nominal rewriting ...

    Correctness of Context-Moving Transformations for Term Rewriting Systems

    Proofs by induction are often incompatible with functions in tail-recursive form as the accumulator changes in the course of unfolding the definitions. Context-moving and context-splitting (Giesl, 2000) for fu...

    Proving Confluence of Term Rewriting Systems via Persistency and Decreasing Diagrams

    The decreasing diagrams technique (van Oostrom, 1994) has been successfully used to prove confluence of rewrite systems in various ways; using rule-labelling (van Oostrom, 2008), it can also be applied directl...

    Termination of Rule-Based Calculi for Uniform Semi-Unification

    Uniform semi-unification is a generalization of unification; its efficient algorithms have been extensively studied in (Kapur et al., 1994) and (Oliart&Snyder, 2004). For (uniform) semi-unification, several va...

    Disproving Confluence of Term Rewriting Systems by Interpretation and Ordering

    In order to disprove confluence of term rewriting systems, we develop new criteria for ensuring non-joinability of terms based on interpretation and ordering. We present some instances of the criteria which ar...

    Rational Term Rewriting Revisited: Decidability and Confluence

    We consider a variant of rational term rewriting as first introduced by Corradini et al., i.e., we consider rewriting of (infinite) terms with a finite number of different subterms. Motivated by computability ...
