Sesqui-pushout (SqPO) rewriting along non-linear rules and for monic matches is well-known to permit the modeling of fusing and cloning of vertices and edges, yet to date, no construction of a suitable concurrency theorem was available. The…

We extend the notion of compositional associative rewriting as recently studied in the rule algebra framework literature to the setting of rewriting rules with conditions. Our methodology is category-theoretical in nature, where the…

We demonstrate that the most well-known approach to rewriting graphical structures, the Double-Pushout (DPO) approach, possesses a notion of sequential compositions of rules along an overlap that is associative in a natural sense. Notably,…

In this paper, we study how graph transformations based on sesqui-pushout rewriting can be reversed and how the composition of rewrites can be constructed. We illustrate how such reversibility and composition can be used to design an audit…

A foundational theory of compositional categorical rewriting theory is presented, based on a collection of fibration-like properties that collectively induce and intrinsically structure the large collection of lemmata used in the proofs of…

Double-pushout rewriting is an established categorical approach to the rule-based transformation of graphs and graph-like objects. One of its standard results is the construction of concurrent rules and the Concurrency Theorem pertaining to…

Graph transformation theory relies upon the composition of rules to express the effects of sequences of rules. In practice, graphs are often subject to constraints, ruling out many candidates for composed rules. Focusing on the case of…

What does it mean for an algebraic rewrite rule to subsume another rule (that may then be called a subrule)? We view subsumptions as rule morphisms such that the simultaneous application of a rule and a subrule (i.e. the application of a…

We extend the powerful Pullback-Pushout (PBPO) approach for graph rewriting with strong matching. Our approach, called PBPO+, allows more control over the embedding of the pattern in the host graph, which is important for a large class of…

We develop a theory of rewriting for structured cospans in order to extend compositional methods for modeling open networks. First, we introduce a category whose objects are structured cospans, and establish conditions under which it is…

Spatial concurrent constraint programming (SCCP) is an algebraic model of spatial modalities in constrained-based process calculi; it can be used to reason about spatial information distributed among the agents of a system. This work…

We demonstrate how category theory provides specifications that can efficiently be implemented via imperative algorithms and apply this to the field of graph rewriting. By examples, we show how this paradigm of software development makes it…

We study the confluence property of abstract rewriting systems internal to cubical categories. We introduce cubical contractions, a higher-dimensional generalisation of reductions to normal forms, and employ them to construct cubical…

We design a Rocq library about adhesive categories, using Hierarchy Builder (HB). It is built around two hierarchies. The first is for categories, with usual categories at the bottom and adhesive categories at the top, with weaker variants…

In this paper, we explore conjunctive query rewriting, focusing on queries containing universally quantified negation within the framework of disjunctive existential rules. We address the undecidability of the existence of a finite and…

The Kappa biochemistry and the M{\O}D organo-chemistry frameworks are amongst the most intensely developed applications of rewriting theoretical methods in the life sciences to date. A typical feature of these types of rewriting theories is…

When can two sequential steps performed by a computing device be considered (causally) independent? This is a relevant question for concurrent and distributed systems, since independence means that they could be executed in any order, and…

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…

Building upon the rule-algebraic stochastic mechanics framework, we present new results on the relationship of stochastic rewriting systems described in terms of continuous-time Markov chains, their embedded discrete-time Markov chains and…

In this paper we adapt previous work on rewriting string diagrams using hypergraphs to the case where the underlying category has a traced comonoid structure, in which wires can be forked and the outputs of a morphism can be connected to…
