Modularity of convergence in infinitary rewriting Stefan Kahrs University of Kent at Canterbury Overview a brief recap on infinitary rewriting and convergence the problem some examples metric abstract reduction systems sketch the proof Recap: Infinitary Term Rewriting in infinitary rewriting we permit infinite terms, and have transfinite reductions approximating them reduction sequence: a continuous function f:??Ter?(?) such that f(n)?f(n+1) open reduction sequence f: ? is a limit ordinal; it is converging if we can extend the domain to ?+1, keeping it continuous f is strongly convergent if in addition redex positions are eventually deep The problem an iTRS is (strongly) convergent iff all its open reduction sequences are are these modular properties of iTRSs? in general, or under certain conditions? Example 1: collapsing rules F(x)?x; G(y)?y each rule on its own convergent, but not together t=F(G(t)), u=G(F(u)) t?u?t?... note: the presence of a collapsing rule always breaks strong convergence Example 2: one collapsing rule F(x)?x; G(H(x))?G(x) each rule on its own convergent, but not together t=F(H(t)), u=H(F(u)) G(t)?G(u)?G(t)?... Revised Problem is convergence modular for non-collapsing iTRS? Example 3: weird stuff F(x,x,y)?F(x,y,x) ; 0?S(0) both are individually convergent, and they are together as well; but notice: F(0,0,0)?F(0,0,1)?F(0,1,0)?F(1,1,0)?F(1,0,1)?F(1,1,1)?... if we project the second argument we get the sequence 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 2,... not a reduction sequence! Example 4: more weird stuff A?H(A), A?Z, H(Z)?S(Z), H(S(x))?S(S(x)) we have A?wSn(Z) but we do not have A?wS? J(K(x,y))?J(y) t=K(A,t), u=K(S?,u) we have J(t)?wJ(u) ...but the blue subterms of J(t) do not reduce to the blue subterms of J(u) Metric abstract reduction systems a MARS is an ARS with a metric (M,?,d) sequences: ordinal-indexed continuous functions weak reduction sequences: reduction sequences of the MARS (M,?w,d) theorem: (M,?,d) is convergent iff (M,?w,d)
