Abstract

Rewriting modulo equations has been researched for several decades but due to the lack of suitable orderings, there are some limitations to rewriting modulo permutation equations. Given a finite set of permutation equations E, we present a new RPO-based ordering modulo E using (permutation) group actions and their associated orbits. It is an E-compatible reduction ordering on terms with the subterm property and is E-total on ground terms. We also present a completion and ground completion method for rewriting modulo a finite set of permutation equations E using our ordering modulo E. We show that our ground completion modulo E always admits a finite ground convergent (modulo E) rewrite system, which allows us to obtain the decidability of the word problem of ground theories modulo E.
