Abstract

We propose the notion of rewriting modules in order to provide a structural and hierarchical approach of TRS. We define then relative dependency pairs built upon these modules which allow us to perform termination proofs incrementally. Important results can be expressed in that new framework (regarding C驴-termination for instance), and with help of 驴 extendable orderings, we give effective new incremental methods for proving termination particularly suited for automation.
