| Research Abstract |
This research is toward removing gaps that prevent from applying results of term rewriting systems (TRS for short) to fuctional languages. The following results were obtained ;
(1) The previously proposed dependency pair method for proving termination of higher-order rewrite systems cannot be applied for ones containing nested variable in a right-hand side and containing copy rules. We succeeded to remove the strong restriction from it for proving termination of simple-typed rewriting systems.
(2) We showed that the needed redexes with respect to strong sequential or NV approximation are decidable by using tree-automata technique and the de Bruijn notations.
(3) It appeared that theorems provable by implicit induction in higher-order rewrite systems are the subclass of the inductive theorems. The case happens that some inductive theorems are judged to be not inductive. We gave a condition to prevent this situation.
(4) We gave a condition that guarantees the outer-most reduction strategy to be complete for overlapping TRSs, and showed a transformation of TRSs that produce TRSs that satisfy the condition.
(5) We developed a transformation of TRSs whose outputs define the inverse computation of the input constructor TRSs. In the computation, innermost narrowing is effective for obtaining all results in case of linear TRSs with extra variables.
