Abstract
Methods of proving that a term-rewriting system terminates are presented. They are based on the notion of ″simplification orderings″ , orderings in which any term that is homeomorphically embeddable in another is smaller than the other. A particularly useful class of simplication orderings, the ″recursive path orderings″ , is defined. Several examples of the use of such orderings in termination proofs are given.
