Term Orders for Optimistic Lambda-Superposition

Logic in Computer Science 2025-10-22 v1

Abstract

We introduce λ\lambdaKBO and λ\lambdaLPO, two variants of the Knuth-Bendix order (KBO) and the lexicographic path order (LPO) designed for use with the λ\lambda-superposition calculus. We establish the desired properties via encodings into the familiar first-order KBO and LPO.
