Schematization of infinite sets of rewrite rules. Application to the divergence of completion processes
[chapter]
1987
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We determine here precise conditions that have to be checked in order to get a sound and complete schematization of the infinite set of rules. ...
The practical interest of a completion procedure is limited by the fact that it can generate infinite sets of rewrite rules. ...
But whenever it is possible to find a set of meta-rules that is a complete schematization for this infinite term rewriting system, a complete set of solutions for an equation in this theory can be found ...

Schematization of infinite sets of rewrite rules generated by divergent completion processes
1989
Theoretical Computer Science
This is a severe limitation to the practical use of these processes. We propose in this paper a notion of schematization for an infinite set of rewrite rules. ...
Infinite sets of rewrite rules may be generated for example by completion of termrewriting systems or by a narrowing process for solving equations in equational theories. ...

For that, we observe proof trees built from the rewrite system, schematizing the innermost rewriting tree of any ground term, and generated with two mechanisms: abstraction, schematizing normalization ...

System Presentation -- CARIBOO
2002
Proceedings of the 4th ACM SIGPLAN international conference on Principles and practice of declarative programming - PPDP '02
We describe Cariboo, the implementation of an inductive process recently proposed to prove termination of rewriting under strategies on ground term algebras. ...
On many examples, Cariboo even enables to succeed without considering any constraint at all ; the process is then completely automatic. Cariboo offers a graphical view of the proof process. ...
Moreover, the process can diverge if we have an infinite application of Abstract and Narrow. ...

Outermost Ground Termination
2004
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
We propose a semi-automatic inductive process to prove termination of outermost rewriting on ground term algebras. ...
Evaluated in a lazy manner, inf (0) is reduced to cons(0, inf(s(0))), and then, since application of the first rule fails, the sub-expression inf (s(0)) has to be evaluated before considering the whole ...
Moreover, the narrowing process itself had to be adapted to suitably schematize outermost rewriting on ground terms. ...

A rule-based system for automatic decidability and combinability
2015
Science of Computer Programming
To reason on the superposition calculus, a schematic superposition calculus has been developed to build the schematic form of the saturations allowing to automatically prove decidability of single theories ...
This paper presents a rule-based logical framework and a tool implementing a complete many-sorted schematic superposition calculus for arbitrary theories. ...
This process continues to generate deeper and deeper schematic clauses so that the calculus will diverge. ...

Induction for positive almost sure termination
2007
Proceedings of the 9th ACM SIGPLAN international conference on Principles and practice of declarative programming - PPDP '07
We extend to the probabilistic case a technique we proposed for termination of usual rewriting under strategies. ...
The proof is developed in generating proof trees, modelizing rewriting trees, in alternatively applying abstraction steps, expressing the application of the induction hypothesis, and narrowing steps, simulating ...
Acknowledgments We would like to thank Olivier Bournez for fruitful discussions on termination of probabilistic rewriting and on this paper, and for giving us motivating examples. ...

While being able to cope only with quantifier-free formulae is not an obstacle for some verification applications, it may become a serious limitation in the verification of complex data structures. ...
When proving the validity of a formula, general-purpose ATPs have only one way to consider the interpretations allowed by a background theory T : add as a premise to the formula a conjunction of the axioms ...

Deciding observational congruence of finite-state CCS expressions by rewriting
1995
Theoretical Computer Science
The rewriting relation is shown to be complete with respect to the axiomatization by proving that every structured fair derivation computes a term that denotes an rz-normal process graph. ...
Starting from the complete axiomatization of observational congruence for this subset of CCS, a non-terminating rewriting relation has been defined. ...

Termination and completion modulo associativity, commutativity and identity
1992
Theoretical Computer Science
We build up on this idea in two ways: by giving a complete set of rules for completion module these axioms; by showing how to build appropriate orderings for proving termination of constrained rewriting ...
In 1989, Baird, Peterson and Wilkerson introduced the notion of constrained rewriting, to avoid the problem of nontermination inherent to the use of identities. ...
We thank Leo Bachmair who pointed out an error well hidden in a previous version of this work. ...

Computing constructor forms with non terminating rewrite programs
2006
Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN symposium on Principles and practice of declarative programming - PPDP '06
In the context of the study of rule-based programming, we focus in this paper on the property of C-reducibility, expressing that every term reduces to a constructor term on at least one of its rewriting ...
This property implies completeness of function definitions, and enables to stop evaluations of a program on a constructor form, even if the program is not terminating. ...
The subtree cut process is similar to the one defined for weak termination, for which a formal description with a complete set of inference rules is given in [16] . ...

Termination of rewriting strategies: a generic approach
[article]
2005
arXiv
pre-print
Abstraction constraints can be used to control the narrowing mechanism, well known to easily diverge. The generic method is then instantiated for the innermost, outermost and local strategies. ...
The induction ordering is not given a priori, but defined with ordering constraints, incrementally set during the proof. ...
