Abstract

We continue here a study of properties of rewrite systems that are not necessarily terminating, but allow for infinite derivations that have a limit. In particular, we give algebraic semantics for theories described by such systems, consider sufficient completeness of hierarchical systems, suggest practical conditions for the existence of a limit and for its uniqueness, and extend the ideas to conditional rewriting.
