Any Ground Associative-commutative Theory Has a Nite Canonical System
We show that theories presented by a set of ground equations with several associative-commutative (AC) symbols always admit a nite canonical system. This result is obtained through the construction of a reduction ordering which is AC-compatible and total on the set of congruence classes generated by the associativity and commutativity axioms. As far as we know, this is the rst ordering with suc...
متن کاملCreating Strong, Total, Commutative, Associative One-Way Functions from Any One-Way Function in Complexity Theory
Rabi and Sherman presented novel digital signature and unauthenticated secret-key agreement protocols, developed by themselves and by Rivest and Sherman. These protocols use strong, total, commutative (in the case of multiparty secret-key agreement), associative one-way functions as their key building blocks. Although Rabi and Sherman did prove that associative oneway functions exist if P{NP, t...
متن کاملGround Associative and Commutative Completion Modulo Shostak Theories
AC-completion efficiently handles equality modulo associative and commutative function symbols. In the ground case, the procedure terminates and provides a decision algorithm for the word problem. In this paper, we present a modular extension of ground AC-completion for deciding formulas in the combination of the theory of equality with user-defined AC symbols, uninterpreted symbols and an arbi...
متن کاملAssociative-commutative Deduction with Constraints Associative-commutative Deduction with Constraints
Associative-commutative equational reasoning is known to be highly complex for theorem proving. Hence, it is very important to focus deduction by adding constraints, such as uniication and ordering, and to deene eecient strategies, such as the basic requirements a la Hullot. Constraints are formulas used for pruning the set of ground instances of clauses deduced by a theorem prover. We propose ...
متن کاملACTAS : A System Design for Associative and Commutative Tree Automata Theory
ACTAS is an integrated system for manipulating associative and commutative tree automata (AC-tree automata for short), that has various functions such as for Boolean operations of AC-tree automata, computing rewrite descendants, and solving emptiness and membership problems. In order to deal with high-complexity problems in reasonable time, overand under-approximation algorithms are also equipp...
