Topic: test cases for unfailing KBC with conditional simp rules
Jared green (Dec 21 2024 at 15:12):
I am trying to build an implementation of Knuth-Bendix completion for conditional rewrites with unconditional unoriented equations. I need to test it. Does anyone know of such rewrite systems with a terminating, confluent(to equivalence on unoriented equations) completion?

Heq?
Jared green (Dec 21 2024 at 17:20):
i dont think so. im talking about a actual set of equations and conditional rewrite rules. i need to provide them individually and explicitly.
Frederick Pu (Dec 21 2024 at 18:28):
what about the word problem for commutative groups?
Frederick Pu (Dec 21 2024 at 18:29):
and the reduction ordering is just how many terms u have in the word
for example abca^-1 < abcdaa
Jared green (Dec 21 2024 at 18:30):
i need conditional rewrites. where the conditions are equations.
Jared green (Dec 21 2024 at 18:33):
and the completion would have to be longer than the initial set or its not very useful for testing.
Frederick Pu (Dec 21 2024 at 18:35):
word problem on real numbers, you need the nonzero condition in order to cancel multiplicative inverses
Jared green (Dec 21 2024 at 18:36):
surely not the full real numbers right? because that doesnt have decidable equality.
Jared green (Dec 21 2024 at 18:37):
also inequations are not supported.

Check out the equational theories project
Jared green (Dec 21 2024 at 18:41):
anything in particular you have in mind?
Jared green (Dec 21 2024 at 18:55):
as far as i know all the equations tested in the equational theories project have been unconditional. so like, are you telling me to add this to that project or what?
