Abstract

In this paper, we propose methods for proving termination of constrained term rewriting systems, where constraints are interpreted by built-in semantics given by users, and rewrite rules are assumed to be sound for the interpretation. To this end, we extend the dependency pair framework for proving termination of unconstrained term rewriting systems to constrained term rewriting systems. Moreover, we extend the dependency pair framework so that dependency pair processors take a subgraph of the dependency graph as input and they output a finite set of graphs which can be obtained by eliminating nodes and/or edges from the input graph.
