Abstract. A method based on dependency pairs for showing termination of functional programs on data structures generated by constructors with relations is proposed. A functional pr...
In recent years Arvind's Group at MIT has shown the usefulness of term rewriting theory for the specification of processor architectures. In their approach processors specifi...
Software engineering, automated reasoning, rule-based programming or specifications often use rewriting systems for which termination, among other properties, may have to be ensur...
In this paper we use the decreasing diagrams technique to show that a left-linear term rewrite system R is confluent if all its critical pairs are joinable and the critical pair st...
We introduce a technique to prove non-termination of term rewrite systems automatically. Our technique improves over previous approaches substantially, as it can also detect non-lo...
