Abstract. In this paper it is described how a combination of polynomial interpretations, recursive path order, RFC match-bounds, the dependency pair method and semantic labelling c...
Over the past decade, researchers have found context-sensitive term-rewriting semantics to be powerful and expressive tools for modeling programming languages, particularly in esta...

Restrictions of rewriting can eventually achieve termination by pruning all infinite rewrite sequences issued from every term. Contextsensitive rewriting (CSR) is an example of su...
Logical systems in natural deduction style are usually presented in the Gentzen style. A different definition of natural deduction, that corresponds more closely to proofs in ord...
Abstract. In this paper we present some new refinements of the dependency pair method for automatically proving the termination of term rewrite systems. These refinements are ver...
We describe the system AProVE, an automated prover to verify (innermost) termination of term rewrite systems (TRSs). For this system, we have developed and implemented efficient al...
The problem of selecting nodes in unranked trees is the most basic querying problem for XML. We propose stepwise tree automata for querying unranked trees. Stepwise tree automata c...
Several authors devised type-based termination criteria for ML-like languages allowing non-structural recursive calls. We extend these works to general rewriting and dependent type...
