Termination of rewriting
This survey describes methods for proving that systems of rewrite rules are terminating programs. We illustrate the use in termination proofs of various kinds of orderings on terms, including polynomial interpretations and path orderings. The effect of restrictions, such as linearity, on the form of rules is also considered. In general, however, termination is an undecidable property of rewrite systems.
