Probabilistic Rewriting

General

As in the non-probabilistic setting, we use an adaption of the ARI format, so probabilistic TRSs (PTRSs) are represented as S-Expressions (see here, Sec. 3.1). The format of TRSs is explained here. To extend this format with probabilistic rules, we extend the reserved words by

prule, prob

. Furthermore, probabilistic rules are defined as follows:

prule ::= ( prule term dist cost? )
cost ::= :cost number
dist ::= ( ( term prob? )* )
prob ::= :prob number

The goal of the analysis is implicitly specified by the category.

Probabilistic Termination

All probabilistic termination categories consider termination w.r.t. arbitrary start terms.

The tools can give the following answers:

MAYBE, AST, PAST, SAST

PTRS Innermost

• innermost rewriting

The tools can give the following answers:

MAYBE, AST, PAST, SAST
