Title
A Unification Algorithm for GP 2 (Long Version).
Abstract
The graph programming language GP 2 allows to apply sets of rule schemata (or attributed rules) non-deterministically. To analyse conflicts of programs statically, graphs labelled with expressions are overlayed to construct critical pairs of rule applications. Each overlay induces a system of equations whose solutions represent different conflicts. We present a rule-based unification algorithm for GP expressions that is terminating, sound and complete. For every input equation, the algorithm generates a finite set of substitutions. Soundness means that each of these substitutions solves the input equation. Since GP labels are lists constructed by concatenation, unification modulo associativity and unit law is required. This problem, which is also known as word unification, is infinitary in general but becomes finitary due to GPu0027s rule schema syntax and the assumption that rule schemata are left-linear. Our unification algorithm is complete in that every solution of an input equation is an instance of some substitution in the generated set.
