Abstract: This paper presents two structural patterns to detect divergence of the completion procedure, followed by a detailed overview of dioeerent examples of divergent rewrite systems. Further it introduces five different empirical methods to avoid divergence, applicable during a session with a rewrite rule laboratory. (Update)

.... in an incremental fashion, since in this way divergence of completion, i.e. non termination of completion, may sometimes be avoided too [He88]. It will turn out that a lot of problems may arise, if it is allowed to change the ordering during completion, as mentioned above, even...
.... with the user, the completion process usually diverges, but based on the intended semantics, there are ways to avoid such a divergence (see [Her88]) Let us give some principles used in the case of calculus. ffl Generalize any rule of the form a[s] a[t] or (s) t) to...
