Conditional equational specifications of data types with partial operations for inductive theorem proving
[chapter]
1997
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The language requires constructors for designating data items and admits positive/negative conditional equations as axioms in speci cations. ...
We propose a speci cation language for the formalization of data types with partial or non-terminating operations as part of a rewrite-based framework for inductive theorem proving. ...
Admissibility Conditions So far we have placed no restrictions on the set of positive/negative conditional equations in a speci cation with constructors. ...

Shallow confluence of conditional term rewriting systems
2009
Journal of symbolic computation
Recursion can be conveniently modeled with left-linear positive/ negative-conditional term rewriting systems, provided that nontermination, non-trivial critical overlaps, non-right-stability, nonnormality ...
For such systems we present novel sufficient criteria for shallow confluence and arrive at the first decidable confluence criterion admitting nontrivial critical overlaps. ...
It was a pleasure to be taught by these masters of the field. ...

Using induction and rewriting to verify and complete parameterized specifications

In software engineering there is a growing demand for formal methods for the specification and validation of software systems. ...
The formal development of a system might give rise to many proof obligations. We must prove the completeness of the specification and the validity of some inductive properties. ...
