Higher-Order Algebra, Logic, and Term Rewriting Second International Workshop, HOA '95, Paderborn, Germany, September 1995. Selected Papers

This book presents a collection of revised refereed papers selected from the presentations accepted for the Second International Workshop on Higher-Order Algebra, Logic, and Term Rewriting, HOA '95, held in Paderborn, Germany, in September 1995.
The 14 research papers included, together with an invited paper by Jan Willem Klop, report state-of-the-art results; the relevant theoretical aspects are addressed, and in addition existing proof systems and term rewriting systems are discussed.

Term graph rewriting.- Approximation and normalization results for typeable term rewriting systems.- Modular properties of algebraic type systems.- Collapsing partial combinatory algebras.- A complete proof system for Nested Term Graphs.- R n - and G n -logics.- The variable containment problem.- Higher-order equational logic for specification, simulation and testing.- The correctness of a higher-order lazy functional language implementation: An exercise in mechanical theorem proving.- Assertions and recursions.- Development closed critical pairs.- Two different strong normalization proofs?.- Third-order matching in the polymorphic lambda calculus.- Higher-order algebra with transfinite types.- Abstraction of hardware construction.
