We revisit parallel-innermost term rewriting as a model of parallel computation on inductive data structures and provide a corresponding notion of runtime complexity parametric in the size of the start term. We propose automatic techniques…

We investigate properties of convergent and forward-closed string rewriting systems in the context of the syntactic criteria introduced in \cite{LynchMorawska} by Christopher Lynch and Barbara Morawska (we call these $LM$-Systems). Since a…

Convergent rewriting systems on algebraic structures give methods to solve decision problems, to prove coherence results, and to compute homological invariants. These methods are based on higher-dimensional extensions of the critical…

This paper considers quasi-reductivity - essentially, the property that an evaluation cannot get "stuck" due to a missing case in pattern matching - in the context of term rewriting with logical constraints.

Critical pair analysis provides a convenient and computable criterion of confluence, which is a fundamental property in rewriting theory, for a wide variety of rewriting systems. Bonchi et al. showed validity of critical pair analysis for…

Logically constrained term rewriting systems (LCTRSs) are a program analyzing formalism with native support for data types which are not (co)inductively defined. As a first-order formalism, LCTRSs have accommodated only analysis of…

An inductive theorem proving method for constrained term rewriting systems, which is based on rewriting induction, needs a decision procedure for reduction-completeness of constrained terms. In addition, the sufficient complete property of…

Confluence denotes the property of a state transition system that states can be rewritten in more than one way yielding the same result. Although it is a desirable property, confluence is often too strict in practical applications because…

The transformation of graphs and graph-like structures is ubiquitous in computer science. When a system is described by graph-transformation rules, it is often desirable that the rules are both terminating and confluent so that rule…

Like termination, confluence is a central property of rewrite systems. Unlike for termination, however, there exists no known complexity hierarchy for confluence. In this paper we investigate whether the decreasing diagrams technique can be…
