What is On the Descriptive Power of Term Rewriting Systems about?

Given the set 5 of terms, a congruenceon ,l and a set N of representatives for -, we say a term rewriting system (TRS) R defines (-, N) ifis the congruence defined by R and N is the set of R-normal forms . We give necessary and sufficient syntactical conditions on (-', N) to be definable by a TRS . It turns out that ('-, N) may be definable by a TRS but not by a uniquely terminating one . In order to find a minimal TRS defining (-., N) we construct the reduced TRS for (-j, N) . The reduced TRS R may fail to define (-j, N), but if every term has an R-normal form, then it is a minimal TRS defining (-j, N) .
