On Semi-Completeness of Term Rewriting Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the question whether semi-completeness, i.e., weak termination plus connuence, of term rewriting systems is preserved under the normalization of right-hand sides. We give a simple counterexample showing that in general this transformation neither preserves weak termination nor (local) connuence. Moreover we present two conditions which are suucient for the preservation of semi-completeness. In particular, we show that (almost) orthogonal systems enjoy this preservation property. terminaison faible et la connuence, de syst emes de r e ecriture est pr eserv ee par la normalisa-tion des membres droits. Nous donnons un contre-exemple simple qui montre qu'en g en eral cette transformation ne pr eserve ni la terminaison faible, ni la connuence (locale). Puis nous proposons deux conditions suusantes permettant de pr eserver la semi-compl etude. En par-ticulier, nous d emontrons que les syst emes (presque) orthogonaux poss edent cette propri et e de pr eservation.

Persistence of Semi-Completeness for Term Rewriting Systems
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 . In this paper, we show that weak normalization is persistent for term rewriting systems. Furthermore we obtain that semi-completeness is persistent for term rewriting systems and we give the exampl...
متن کاملCompleteness of Combinations of Constructor Systems
A term rewriting system is called complete if it is both confluent and strongly normalising. Barendregt and Klop showed that the disjoint union of complete term rewriting systems does not need to be complete. In other words, completeness is not a modular property of term rewriting systems. Toyama, Klop and Barendregt showed that completeness is a modular property of left-linear term rewriting s...
متن کاملModular Properties of Constructor-Sharing Conditional Term Rewriting Systems
First, using a recent modularity result Ohl94b] for unconditional term rewriting systems (TRSs), it is shown that semi-completeness is a modular property of constructor-sharing join conditional term rewriting systems (CTRSs). Second, we do not only extend results of Middeldorp Mid93] on the modularity of termination for disjoint CTRSs to constructor-sharing systems but also simplify the proofs ...
متن کاملOn interreduction of semi-complete term rewriting systems
For a complete, i.e., connuent and terminating term rewriting system (TRS) it is well-known that simpliication (also called interreduction) into an equivalent canonical, i.e., complete and interreduced TRS is easily possible. This can be achieved by rst normalizing all right-hand sides of the TRS and then deleting all rules with a reducible left-hand side. Here we investigate the logical and op...
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...
