Adopting former term rewriting characterisations of polytime and exponential-time computable functions, we introduce a new reduction order, the Path Order for ETIME (POE* for short), that is sound and complete for ETIME computable…
We propose a new order, the small polynomial path order (sPOP* for short). The order sPOP* provides a characterisation of the class of polynomial time computable function via term rewrite systems. Any polynomial time computable function…
We show how polynomial path orders can be employed efficiently in conjunction with weak innermost dependency pairs to automatically certify polynomial runtime complexity of term rewrite systems and the polytime computability of the…

This paper is concerned with the automated complexity analysis of term rewrite systems (TRSs for short) and the ramification of these in implicit computational complexity theory (ICC for short). We introduce a novel path order with multiset…
In this paper, we first briefly survey automated termination proof methods for higher-order calculi. We then concentrate on the higher-order recursive path ordering, for which we provide an improved definition, the Computability Path…
We consider a stack sorting algorithm where only the appropriate output values are popped from the stack and then any remaining entries in the stack are run through the stack in reverse order. We identify the basis for the $2$-reverse pass…
The class of type-two basic feasible functionals ($\mathtt{BFF}_2$) is the analogue of $\mathtt{FP}$ (polynomial time functions) for type-2 functionals, that is, functionals that can take (first-order) functions as arguments.…
Recently, many techniques have been introduced that allow the (automated) classification of the runtime complexity of term rewrite systems (TRSs for short). In earlier work, the authors have shown that for confluent TRSs, innermost…
The authors' ATR programming formalism is a version of call-by-value PCF under a complexity-theoretically motivated type system. ATR programs run in type-2 polynomial-time and all standard type-2 basic feasible functionals are ATR-definable…
In this paper we have investigated enumeration orders of elements of r.e. sets enumerated by means of Turing machines. We have defined a reducibility based on enumeration orders named "Enumeration Order Reducibility" on computable functions…
We model collapsible and ordered pushdown systems with term rewriting, by encoding higher-order stacks and multiple stacks into trees. We show a uniform inverse preservation of recognizability result for the resulting class of term…
Deterministic one-way time-bounded multi-counter automata are studied with respect to their ability to perform reversible computations, which means that the automata are also backward deterministic and, thus, are able to uniquely step the…
This paper introduces a more restrictive notion of feasibility of functionals on Baire space than the established one from second-order complexity theory. Thereby making it possible to consider functions on the natural numbers as running…

This seminar report is concerned with expressing LPO-termination of term rewrite systems as a satisfiability problem in propositional logic. After relevant algorithms are explained, experimental results are reported.
The notion of computability closure has been introduced for proving the termination of the combination of higher-order rewriting and beta-reduction. It is also used for strengthening the higher-order recursive path ordering. In the present…
Infinite time Turing machines extend the operation of ordinary Turing machines into transfinite ordinal time. By doing so, they provide a natural model of infinitary computability, a theoretical setting for the analysis of the power and…
This paper provides a new, decidable definition of the higher- order recursive path ordering in which type comparisons are made only when needed, therefore eliminating the need for the computability clo- sure, and bound variables are…
Interpretation methods and their restrictions to polynomials have been deeply used to control the termination and complexity of first-order term rewrite systems. This paper extends interpretation methods to a pure higher order functional…
