....R OBDD. It su#ces to prove termination: We apply TRS rules to a given BDD, until we reach a normal form after a finite number of steps, which is guaranteed by termination. The so derived BDD is the R OBDD. We prove termination by means of a powerful tool, the recursive path ordering (# rpo ) [13, 29]. This is a standard way to extend a (total) well founded order on a set of labels to a (total) well founded order on trees over these labels. To this end, we view guards as labels, ordered by Definition 8, and BDDs are viewed as binary trees, so ITE(g, T 1 , T 2 ) corresponds to the tree g(T 1 , ....

This definition yields an order, as it is shown in [29]. In order to prove termination, we will show that each rewrite rule (of Definition 9) is indeed a reduction rule regarding rpo . The next lemma will be very helpful to show that this reduction property really holds. y) and g (w) If f g. Proof. v. Then x ....

....We will consider a definition of weight and of the kbo similar to the one presented in [7] however we extend the precedence to be a quasi order in F and allow for more than one maximum element in F with arity one and weight zero. Other more general possibilities for weight functions do exist. In [27] a general weight function is given using an interpretation of terms in a weakly monotone algebra. In the following we assume lexicographic extension as defined in 2.11. Definition 4.24. A weight function OE : F [ X IN is a function satisfying: OE(f ) is = OE 0 if f 2 X OE 0 if ....
