Abstract. Semantic labelling is a transformational technique for proving termination of Term Rewriting Systems (TRSs). Only its variant with finite sets of labels was used so far i...
Software engineering, automated reasoning, rule-based programming or specifications often use rewriting systems for which termination, among other properties, may have to be ensur...
Polynomial interpretations are a useful technique for proving termination of term rewrite systems. They come in various flavors: polynomial interpretations with real, rational and...
Abstract. The dependency pair technique is a powerful modular method for automated termination proofs of term rewrite systems. We first show that dependency pairs are also suitabl...
We provide a global technique, called neatening, for the study of modularity of left-linear Term Rewriting Systems. Objects called bubbles are identi ed as the responsibles of mos...
