In this chapter we will present the basic concepts of term rewriting that are needed in this book. More details on term rewriting, its applications, and related subjects can be found in the textbook of Baader and Nipkow [BN98]. Readers versed in German are also referred to the textbooks of Avenhaus [Ave95], Bundgen [Bun98], and Drosten [Dro89]. Moreover, there are several survey articles [HO80, DJ90, Klo92, Pla93] that can also be consulted.

Term Rewriting Systems

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the mathematical theory of computation. Computation essentially explores how machines can be made to carry out intellectual processes. Any intellectual process that can be carried out mechanically can be performed by a general purpose digital computer. There are three established directions of mathematical research that are relevant to the science of computation—namely, numerical analysis, theory of computability, and theory of finite automata. The chapter explores what practical results can be expected from a suitable mathematical theory. Further, the chapter presents several descriptive formalisms with a few examples of their use and theories that enable to prove the equivalence of computations expressed in these formalisms. A few mathematical results about the properties of the formalisms are also presented.

A rewriting logic framework for operational semantics of membrane systems

Several algorithmic variants of circular coinduction have been proposed and implemented during the last decade, but a proof theoretical foundation of circular coinduction in its full generality is still missing. This paper gives a three-rule proof system that can be used to formally derive circular coinductive proofs. This three-rule system is proved behaviorally sound and is exemplified by proving several properties of infinite streams. Algorithmic variants of circular coinduction now become heuristics to search for proof derivations using the three rules.

Circular coinduction: a proof theoretical foundation

CIRC is a tool for automated inductive and coinductive theorem proving. It includes an engine based on circular coinduction, which makes CIRC particularly well-suited for proving behavioral properties of infinite data-structures. This paper presents the current status of the coinductive features of the CIRC prover, focusing on new features added over the last two years. The presentation is by examples, showing how CIRC can automatically prove behavioral properties.

CIRC: a behavioral verification tool based on circular coinduction

CIRC is an automated circular coinductive prover implemented as an extension of Maude. The circular coinductive technique that forms the core of CIRC is discussed, together with a high-level implementation using metalevel capabilities of rewriting logic. To reflect the strength of CIRC in automatically proving behavioral properties, an example defining and proving properties about infinite streams of infinite binary trees is shown. CIRC also provides limited support for automated inductive proving, which can be used in combination with coinduction.
