Unital Anti-Unification: Type and Algorithms

Authors: David M. Cerna and Temur Kutsia

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 167, 5th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2020)


Abstract
Unital equational theories are defined by axioms that assert the existence of the unit element for some function symbols. We study anti-unification (AU) in unital theories and address the problems of establishing generalization type and designing anti-unification algorithms. First, we prove that when the term signature contains at least two unital functions, anti-unification is of the nullary type by showing that there exists an AU problem, which does not have a minimal complete set of generalizations. Next, we consider two special cases: the linear variant and the fragment with only one unital symbol, and design AU algorithms for them. The algorithms are terminating, sound, complete, and return tree grammars from which the set of generalizations can be constructed. Anti-unification for both special cases is finitary. Further, the algorithm for the one-unital fragment is extended to the unrestricted case. It terminates and returns a tree grammar which produces an infinite set of generalizations. At the end, we discuss how the nullary type of unital anti-unification might affect the anti-unification problem in some combined theories, and list some open questions.

A Generic Framework for Higher-Order Generalizations

Authors: David M. Cerna and Temur Kutsia

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 131, 4th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2019)


Abstract
We consider a generic framework for anti-unification of simply typed lambda terms. It helps to compute generalizations which contain maximally common top part of the input expressions, without nesting generalization variables. The rules of the corresponding anti-unification algorithm are formulated, and their soundness and termination are proved. The algorithm depends on a parameter which decides how to choose terms under generalization variables. Changing the particular values of the parameter, we obtained four new unitary variants of higher-order anti-unification and also showed how the already known pattern generalization fits into the schema.

Higher-Order Equational Pattern Anti-Unification

Authors: David M. Cerna and Temur Kutsia

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 108, 3rd International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2018)


Abstract
We consider anti-unification for simply typed lambda terms in associative, commutative, and associative-commutative theories and develop a sound and complete algorithm which takes two lambda terms and computes their generalizations in the form of higher-order patterns. The problem is finitary: the minimal complete set of generalizations contains finitely many elements. We define the notion of optimal solution and investigate special fragments of the problem for which the optimal solution can be computed in linear or polynomial time.
