Higher-order rewrite systems and their confluence:

Abstract: "We introduce Higher-Order Rewrite Systems (HRS) which extend term rewriting to [lambda]-terms. HRS can describe computations on arbitrary terms with bound variables. We show that rewriting is closely related to undirected equational reasoning, and extend three confluence results from...

Summary:Abstract: "We introduce Higher-Order Rewrite Systems (HRS) which extend term rewriting to [lambda]-terms. HRS can describe computations on arbitrary terms with bound variables. We show that rewriting is closely related to undirected equational reasoning, and extend three confluence results from term rewriting to HRS: the critical pair lemma by Knuth and Bendix, confluence of rewriting modulo equations à la Huet, and confluence of orthogonal HRS."
