Further Information

Based on the simply typed term rewriting framework, inductive reasoning in higher-order rewriting is studied. The notion of higher-order inductive theorems is introduced to reflect higher-order feature of simply typed term rewriting. Then the inductionless induction methods in first-order term rewriting are incorporated to verify higher-order inductive theorems. In order to ensure that higher-order inductive theorems are closed under contexts, the notion of higher-order sufficient completeness is introduced. Finally, the decidability of higher-order sufficient completeness is discussed.
