Abstract

This paper addresses the following general problem of tree regular model-checking: decide whether R^*(L)@?L"p=@A where R^* is the reflexive and transitive closure of a successor relation induced by a term rewriting system R, and L and L"p are both regular tree languages. We develop an automatic approximation-based technique to handle this - undecidable in general - problem in the case when term rewriting system rules are left-quadratic. The most common practical case is handled this way.
