Résumé

The termination issue that we tackle is rooted in Natural Language Processing where computations are performed by graph rewriting systems (GRS) that may contain a large number of rules, often in the order of thousands. Thus algorithms become mandatory to verify the termination of such systems. The notion of graph rewriting that we consider does not make any assumption on the structure of graphs (they are not "term graphs", "port graphs" nor "drags"). This lack of algebraic structure led us to proposing two orders on graphs inspired from language theory: the matrix multiset-path order and the rational embedding order. We show that both are stable by context, which we then use to obtain the main contribution of the paper: under a suitable notion of "interpretation", a GRS is terminating if and only if it is compatible with an interpretation.
