On confluence and residuals in Cauchy convergent transfinite rewriting
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that non-collapsing orthogonal term rewriting systems do not have the transfinite Church-Rosser property in the setting of Cauchy convergence. In addition, we show that for (a transfinite version of) the Parallel Moves Lemma to hold, any definition of residual for Cauchy convergent rewriting must either part with a number of fundamental properties enjoyed by rewriting systems in the finitary and strongly convergent settings, or fail to hold for very simple rewriting systems.

Böhm Reduction in Infinitary Term Graph Rewriting Systems
The confluence properties of lambda calculus and orthogonal term rewriting do not generalise to the corresponding infinitary calculi. In order to recover the confluence property in a meaningful way, Kennaway et al. [11, 10] introduced Böhm reduction, which extends the ordinary reduction relation so that ‘meaningless terms’ can be contracted to a fresh constant ⊥. In previous work, we have estab...
متن کاملResiduals in Higher-Order Rewriting
Residuals have been studied for various forms of rewriting and residual systems have been defined to capture residuals in an abstract setting. In this article we study residuals in orthogonal Pattern Rewriting Systems (PRSs). First, the rewrite relation is defined by means of a higher-order rewriting logic, and proof terms are defined that witness reductions. Then, we have the formal machinery ...
متن کاملMeaningless Terms in Rewriting
We present an axiomatic approach to the concept of meaninglessness in finite and transfinite term rewriting and lambda calculus. We justify our axioms in several ways. They can be intuitively justified from the viewpoint of rewriting as computation. They are shown to imply important properties of meaninglessness: genericity of the class of meaningless terms, confluence modulo equality of meanin...
متن کاملOn modularity in infinitary term rewriting
We study modular properties in strongly convergent infinitary term rewriting. In particular, we show that: • Confluence is not preserved across direct sum of a finite number of systems, even when these are non-collapsing. • Confluence modulo equality of hypercollapsing subterms is not preserved across direct sum of a finite number of systems. • Normalization is not preserved across direct sum o...
متن کاملA Rapidly Convergent Nonlinear Transfinite Element Procedure for Transient Thermoelastic Analysis of Temperature-Dependent Functionally Graded Cylinders
In the present paper, the nonlinear transfinite element procedure recently published by the author is improved by introducing an enhanced convergence criterion to significantly reduce the computational run-times. It is known that transformation techniques have been developed mainly for linear systems, only. Due to using a huge number of time steps, employing the conventional time integration me...
