Title: Proving AC Termination by Knuth-Bendix Orders
Abstract: Equational theories that contain axioms expressing associativity and commutativity (AC) of certain operators are ubiquitous. Theorem proving methods in such theories rely on well-founded orders that are compatible with the AC axioms. In this talk we consider various definitions of AC-compatible Knuth-Bendix orders. The orders of Steinbach and of Korovin and Voronkov are revisited. The former is enhanced to a more powerful AC-compatible order and we modify the latter to amend its lack of monotonicity on non-ground terms. We present new complexity results and compare the various orders on problems in termination and completion. The talk is based on joint work with Nao Hirokawa, Sarah Winkler, and Akihisa Yamada.
