Abstract
Abstract By using algebraic structures in a presheaf category over finite sets, following Fiore, Plotkin and Turi, we develop sound and complete models of second-order rewriting systems called second-order computation systems (CSs). Restricting the algebraic structures to those equipped with well-founded relations, we obtain a complete characterisation of terminating CSs. We also extend the characterisation to rewriting on meta-terms using the notion of
$\Sigma$
-monoid.
期刊介绍:
Mathematical Structures in Computer Science is a journal of theoretical computer science which focuses on the application of ideas from the structural side of mathematics and mathematical logic to computer science. The journal aims to bridge the gap between theoretical contributions and software design, publishing original papers of a high standard and broad surveys with original perspectives in all areas of computing, provided that ideas or results from logic, algebra, geometry, category theory or other areas of logic and mathematics form a basis for the work. The journal welcomes applications to computing based on the use of specific mathematical structures (e.g. topological and order-theoretic structures) as well as on proof-theoretic notions or results.
