Decidability of Innermost Termination and Context-Sensitive Termination for Semi-Constructor Term Rewriting Systems
2008
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
Yi and Sakai [9] showed that the termination problem is a decidable property for the class of semi-constructor term rewriting systems, which is a superclass of the class of right ground term rewriting ...
In this paper we modify the proof of [9] to show that both innermost termination and µ-termination are decidable properties for the class of semi-constructor TRSs. ...

Lazy productivity via termination
2011
Theoretical Computer Science
We present a procedure for transforming strongly sequential constructor-based term rewriting systems (TRSs) into context-sensitive TRSs in such a way that productivity of the input system is equivalent ...
Finally, we present a simple, but fruitful extension of matrix interpretations to make them applicable for proving termination of context-sensitive TRSs. ...
Acknowledgements We thank Aart Middeldorp, Hans Zantema and the anonymous referees for valuable suggestions for improving draft versions of this paper and fruitful discussions on its topic. ...

Constructor rewriting systems are said to be cons-free if, roughly, constructor terms in the right-hand sides of rules are subterms of the left-hand sides; the computational intuition is that rules cannot ...

Outermost Ground Termination
2004
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
Our method applies in particular to systems that are non-terminating for the standard strategy nor even for the lazy strategy. a term rewriting system and the evaluation of a query consists of rewriting ...
We propose a semi-automatic inductive process to prove termination of outermost rewriting on ground term algebras. ...
Most of existing methods for proving termination of term rewriting systems (TRS in short) essentially tackle the universal termination problem: they work on free term algebras and prove termination for ...

There is a 2-OSRTs R and a sort s such that the set Irr(R) s ⊆ T (F, X ) s of R-irreducible terms is not recursively enumerable, so it is not even semi-decidable if a term is R-irreducible. ...

Soundness of Unravelings for Conditional Term Rewriting Systems via Ultra-Properties Related to Linearity

Unravelings are transformations from a conditional term rewriting system (CTRS, for short) over an original signature into an unconditional term rewriting systems (TRS, for short) over an extended signature ...
Finally, we show that soundness of Ohlebusch's unraveling is the weakest in soundness of the other unravelings and a transformation, proposed by Serbanuta and Rosu, for (normal) deterministic CTRSs, i.e ...

Transformation of structure-shy programs with application to XPath queries and strategic functions

We discuss the application of these rewrite systems for XPath query optimization and for query migration in the context of schema evolution. ...
We show how subsets of these laws can be used to construct effective rewrite systems for specialization, generalization, and optimization of structure-shy programs. ...
Also, the transformation strategies that we composed from these laws should be better characterized in terms of the normal forms to which they lead, and in terms of their complexity and termination behaviour ...
