A series of works has established rewriting as an essential tool in order to prove coherence properties of algebraic structures, such as MacLane's coherence theorem for monoidal categories, based on the observation that, under reasonable…
This is a new and short proof of the main theorem of classical structure tree theory. Namely, we show the existence of certain automorphism-invariant tree-decompositions of graphs based on the principle of removing finitely many edges. This…
Sequences of linear systems arise in the predictor-corrector method when computing the Pareto front for multi-objective optimization. Rather than discarding information generated when solving one system, it may be advantageous to recycle…
Rewriting Induction (RI) is a formal system in term rewriting to establish program equivalence. The recently defined Bounded RI for higher-order Logically Constrained Term Rewriting Systems (LCSTRSs) yields a convenient proof system for…
We prove that orthogonal constructor term rewrite systems and lambda-calculus with weak (i.e., no reduction is allowed under the scope of a lambda-abstraction) call-by-value reduction can simulate each other with a linear overhead. In…
Polynomial convergence bounds are considered for left, right, and split preconditioned GMRES. They include the cases of Weighted and Deflated GMRES for a linear system Ax = b. In particular, the case of positive definite A is considered.…
Rewriting is a framework for reasoning about functional programming. The dependency pair criterion is a well-known mechanism to analyze termination of term rewriting systems. Functional specifications with an operational semantics based on…
We study the properties, in particular termination, of dependent types systems for lambda calculus and rewriting.
The main result of the paper is motivated by the following two, apparently unrelated graph optimization problems: (A) as an extension of Edmonds' disjoint branchings theorem, characterize digraphs comprising $k$ disjoint branchings $B_i$…
In the trace reconstruction problem, one seeks to reconstruct a binary string $s$ from a collection of traces, each of which is obtained by passing $s$ through a deletion channel. It is known that $\exp(\tilde O(n^{1/5}))$ traces suffice to…
Tuple interpretations are a class of algebraic interpretation that subsumes both polynomial and matrix interpretations as it does not impose simple termination and allows non-linear interpretations. It was developed in the context of…
Logarithmic Number Systems (LNS) hold considerable promise in helping reduce the number of bits needed to represent a high dynamic range of real-numbers with finite precision, and also efficiently support multiplication and division.…
Several types of term rewriting systems can be distinguished by the way their rules overlap. In particular, we define the classes of prefix, suffix, bottom-up and top-down systems, which generalize similar classes on words. Our aim is to…
While a mature body of work supports the study of rewriting systems, abstract tools for Probabilistic Rewriting are still limited. In this paper we study the question of uniqueness of the result (unique limit distribution), and develop a…
There are many techniques and tools to prove termination of C programs, but up to now these tools were not very powerful for fully automated termination proofs of programs whose termination depends on recursive data structures like lists.…
We develop an algorithm for reconstruction of elastic strain fields from their Longitudinal Ray Transform (LRT) in either two or three dimensions. In general, the LRT only determines the solenoidal part of a symmetric tensor field, but…
Rewriting is a formalism widely used in computer science and mathematical logic. When using rewriting as a programming or modeling paradigm, the rewrite rules describe the transformations one wants to operate and rewriting strategies are…
We provide a critical assessment of the current set of benchmarks for relative SRS termination in the Termination Problems Database (TPDB): most of the benchmarks in Waldmann_19 and ICFP_10_relative are, in fact, strictly terminating (i.…
In this paper we provide for parsing with respect to grammars expressed in a general TFS-based formalism, a restriction of ALE. Our motivation being the design of an abstract (WAM-like) machine for the formalism, we consider parsing as a…
We consider the problem of {\em restructuring} compressed texts without explicit decompression. We present algorithms which allow conversions from compressed representations of a string $T$ produced by any grammar-based compression…
