This paper describes a new confluence tool for term rewrite systems. Due to its modular design,
the few techniques implemented so far can be combined flexibly. Methods developed for …

We present and compare some well-founded proof orders for decreasing diagrams. These
proof orders order a conversion above another conversion if the latter is obtained by filling …

CSI is a strong automated confluence prover for rewrite systems which has been in development
since 2010. In this paper we report on recent extensions that make CSI more powerful, …

This article is concerned with automating the decreasing diagrams technique of van Oostrom
for establishing confluence of term rewrite systems. We study abstract criteria that allow to …

We introduce layer systems for proving generalizations of the modularity of confluence for
first-order rewrite systems. Layer systems specify how terms can be divided into layers. We …

The topic of this thesis is confluence of first-order term rewriting systems, both its theory and
its automation. Term rewrite systems are a model of computation in which terms are …

It is well known that the confluence property of ground term rewrite systems (ground TRSs) is
decidable in polynomial time. For an efficient implementation, the degree of this polynomial …

Regular tree languages are a popular device for reachability analysis over term rewrite
systems, with many applications like analysis of cryptographic protocols, or confluence and …
