Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A constrained term rewriting system, an extension of term rewriting systems, can control application of rules by constraints such as those on integers. By partial elimination of patterns occurring in left-hand sides of rules, which preserves their meanings, one can facilitate analyzing various properties. In this article, we propose a transformation based on pattern elimination of constrained term rewriting systems that contain only patterns of interpretable terms in their left-hand sides, and show sufficient conditions for the resulting system to be equivalent to the original with respect to some properties such as sufficient completeness and innermost termination. We also propose a procedure for testing reduction completeness as an application of the transformation.
