Abstract

We present a coinductive framework for defining infinitary analogues of equational reasoning  and rewriting in a uniform way. The setup captures rewrite sequences of arbitrary ordinal length, but it has neither the need for ordinals nor for metric convergence. This makes the framework especially suitable for formalizations in theorem provers.
