Abstract. In this paper we introduce a modular framework which allows to infer (feasible) upper bounds on the (derivational) complexity of term rewrite systems by combining differ...
A term rewriting system is called complete if it is both confluent and strongly norrealizing. Barendregt and Klop showed that the disjoint union of complete term rewriting systems...
Despite the major role that modularity occupies in computer science, all the known results on modular analysis only treat particular problems, and there is no general unifying the...
Given a binary relation IE ∪ IR on the set of ground terms e signature, we define an abstract rewrite closure for IE ∪ IR. act rewrite closure can be interpreted as a speciali...
The K framework, based on rewriting logic semantics, provides a powerful logic for defining the semantics of programming languages. While most work in this area has focused on de...
