We present two techniques for transforming any prefix-constrained and any controlled term rewrite system into an ordinary rewrite system. We prove that both transformations preserve the rewrite computations, and preserve termination. In this way, prefixconstrained rewriting and controlled rewriting can be run, and termination can be checked, using the usual tools for ordinary rewriting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
