Abstract: "This paper describes the simply-typed 2-[lambda]- calculus, a language with three levels: types, terms and rewrites. The types and terms are those of the simply-typed [lambda]-calculus, and the rewrites are expressions denoting sequences of [beta]-reductions and [eta]- expansions. An equational theory is imposed on the rewrites, based on 2- categorical justifications, and the word problem for this theory is solved by finding a canonical expression in each equivalence class. The canonical form of rewrites allows us to prove several properties of the calculus, including a strong form of confluence and a classification of the long-[beta]-[eta]-normal forms in terms of their rewrites. Finally we use these properties as the basic definitions of a theory of categorical rewriting, and find that the expected relationships between confluence, strong normalisation and normal forms hold."

Unlike current survey articles and textbooks, here the so-called confluence and termination hierarchies play a key role. Throughout, the relationships between the properties in the hierarchies are reviewed, and it is shown that for every implication X => Y in the hierarchies, the property X is undecidable for all term rewriting systems satisfying Y. Topics covered include: the newest techniques for proving termination of rewrite systems; a comprehensive chapter on conditional term rewriting systems; a state-of-the-art survey of modularity in term rewriting, and a uniform framework for term and graph rewriting, as well as the first result on conditional graph rewriting.

The theory and practice of term rewriting is now well-established and the focus of growing interest in the world of computer science. This book brings together a collection of original research contributions and surveys of existing knowledge. Some of the most significant developments in term rewriting theory are reviewed, as well as a history of the most important discovery in the field, namely the notion of a critical pair and its natural consequence, the completion algorithm. Many of the new ideas developed have important applications in other fields of theoretical computing. Therefore, this book should be of interest to researchers from areas such as logic programming, computer algebra, and functional programming.
