Abstract
Rewrite systems are directed equations used to compute by repeatedly replacing subterms of a given formula with equal terms until the simplest form possible is obtained. This simplest form is what we call a normal form. The theory of rewriting is in essence a theory of normal forms. Most frequently we are interested in ground normal forms (normal forms without any variables). Since we are only looking at ground terms, the set of ground normal forms of a rewrite system R may be viewed as a formal language generated by R.
