Abstract: We present simple techniques for deciding the satisfiability of lexicographic path ordering constraints under two different semantics: solutions built over the given signature and solutions in extended signatures. For both cases we give the first NP algorithms, which is optimal as we prove the problems to be NP-complete. We discuss the efficient applicability of the techniques in practice, where, as far as we know, their simply exponential bound improves upon the existing methods, and describe... (Update)

...such as [13, 10] coincide in the unary case. Among the positive results it is known that the existential theory of total lpo is decidable [3, 17]. The same result holds for the case of total rpo [8, 15] The proof technique we use for our decidability result might be...

...constraint solving. This is also the case for our proof of finiteness of the trees. Here we adapt the constraint solving algorithms of [Nie93] with extended signature semantics (i.e. new symbols may appear in solutions) for the recursive path ordering with status (RPO) In...
