Closed nominal rewriting and efficiently computable nominal

چکیده
We analyse the relationship between nominal algebra and nominal rewriting, giving a new and concise presentation of equational deduction in nominal theories. With some new results, we characterise a subclass of equational theories for which nominal rewriting provides a complete and efficient procedure to check nominal algebra equality. This subclass includes specifications of lambda-calculus and first-order logic.

Closed nominal rewriting and efficiently computable nominal algebra equality
We analyse the relationship between nominal algebra and nominal rewriting, giving a new and concise presentation of equational deduction in nominal theories.

متن کاملChecking Overlaps of Nominal Rewriting Rules
Nominal rewriting generalises first-order rewriting by providing support for the specification of binding operators. In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for (local) confluence of closed nominal rewriting theories, based on the analysis of rule overlaps. More precisely, we show that closed nominal rewriting rules where all proper critical pairs are joinable are locally confluent. We als...
متن کاملNominal 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 in the light of feasibility. We report on an implementation of a confluence tool for (non-closed) nominal rewriting, based on (Suzuki et al., 2015) and succeeding studies.
متن کاملFrom nominal to higher-order rewriting and back again
We present a translation function from nominal rewriting systems (NRSs) to combinatory reduction systems (CRSs), transforming closed nominal rules and ground nominal terms to CRSs rules and terms, respectively, while preserving the rewriting relation. We also provide a reduction-preserving translation in the other direction, from CRSs to NRSs, improving over a previously defined translation. Th...
متن کاملParallel 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 generalisation on confluence of left-linear term rewriting systems to the case of nominal rewriting. The proof of the theorem follows a previous inductive confluence proof for orthogonal uniform...
