We investigate garbage collection of unreachable parts of rooted graphs from a categorical point of view. First, we define this task as the right adjoint of an inclusion functor. ...
The dependency pair method of Arts and Giesl is the most powerful technique for proving termination of term rewrite systems automatically. We show that the method can be improved b...
In this paper, we present a fully automatizable approach to detecting loops in standard term rewriting. Our method is based on semi-unification and an unfolding operation which pr...
We demonstrate how access control models and policies can be represented by using term rewriting systems, and how rewriting may be used for evaluating access requests and for provi...
For a given (terminating) term rewriting system one can often estimate its derivational complexity indirectly by looking at the proof method that established termination. In this s...
