Title
Optimal Normalization in Orthogonal Term Rewriting Systems
Abstract
. We design a normalizing strategy for orthogonal term rewritingsystems (OTRSs), which is a generalization of the call-by-need strategyof Huet-L'evy [4]. The redexes contracted in our strategy are essentialin the sense that they have "descendants" under any reduction of a giventerm. There is an essential redex in any term not in normal form. Wefurther show that contraction of the innermost essential redexes gives anoptimal reduction to normal form, if it exists. We classify OTRSs...
