Conditional Rewrite Rules: Confluence and Termination
نویسندگان
چکیده
Algebraic specifications of abstract data types can often be viewed as systems of rewrite rules. Here we consider rewrite rules with conditions, such as they arise, e.g., from algebraic specifications with positive conditional equations. The conditional term rewriting systems thus obtained which we will study, are based upon the well-known class of left-linear, nonambiguous TRSs. A large part of the theory for such TRSs can be generalized to the conditional case. Our approach is non-hierarchical: the conditions are to be evaluated in the same rewriting system. We prove confluence results and termination results for some well-known reduction strategies.

On Termination and Confluence of Conditional Rewrite Systems
We consider the problem of verifying connuence and termination of conditional term rewriting systems. Recently we have obtained some interesting results for unconditional term rewriting systems (TRSs) which are non-overlapping or, more generally, locally connuent overlay systems. These results provide suucient criteria for termination plus connuence in terms of restricted termination and connue...
متن کاملOn Modularity of Termination and Confluence Properties of Conditional Rewrite Systems
We investigate the modularity behaviour of termination and connuence properties of conditional term rewriting systems. In particular , we show how to obtain suucient conditions for the modularity of weak termination, weak innermost termination, (strong) innermost termination , (strong) termination, connuence and completeness of conditional rewrite systems.
متن کاملOn Termination and Confluence Properties of Disjoint and Constructor-Sharing Conditional Rewrite Systems
We investigate the modularity behaviour of termination and connuence properties of (join) conditional term rewriting systems. We give counterexamples showing that the properties weak termination, weak innermost termination and (strong) innermost termination are not preserved in general under signature extensions. Then we develop suucient conditions for the preservation of these properties under...
متن کاملLevel-Confluence of Conditional Rewrite Systems with Extra Variables in Right-Hand Sides
Level-confluence is an important property of conditional term rewriting systems that allow extra variables in the rewrite rules because it guarantees the completeness of narrowing for such systems. In this paper we present a syntactic condition ensuring level-confluence for orthogonal, not necessarily terminating, conditional term rewriting systems that have extra variables in the right-hand si...
متن کاملOn the confluence of λ-calculus with conditional rewriting
The confluence of untyped λ-calculus with unconditional rewriting is now well understood. In this paper, we investigate the confluence of λ-calculus with conditional rewriting and provide general results in two directions. First, when conditional rules are algebraic. This extends results of Müller and Dougherty for unconditional rewriting. Two cases are considered, whether betareduction is allo...
