Rewriting as a Special Case of Noncommutative Groebner Basis Theory

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Rewriting for semigroups is a special case of Groebner basis theory for noncommutative polynomial algebras. The fact is a kind of folklore but is not fully recognised. The aim of this paper is to elucidate this relationship, showing that the noncommutative Buchberger algorithm corresponds step-by-step to the Knuth-Bendix completion procedure.
