3 Process Algebra (2IF45) Ground completeness property: If t r then BPA(A) ├ t = r, for any closed terms t and r in C(BPA(A)). BPA(A) Process Algebra – ground-completeness property

4 Structure of the closed terms of BPA(A) The definition of closed terms is inductive: 0 and 1 are closed terms if p is a closed term and a  A then a.p is a closed term too if p and q are closed terms then p+q is a closed term too Process Algebra (2IF45)

5 Structure of the Closed terms of BPA(A) The definition of closed terms is inductive: 0 and 1 are closed terms if p is a closed term and a  A then a.p is a closed term too if p and q are closed terms then p+q is a closed term too Proofs are easy by Structural induction Prove a property for closed BPA(A) terms Basic case: prove the property for the constants 0 and 1 Inductive step: Step1. prove the property for the construct a._ Step2. prove the property for the construct _+_ −… Process Algebra (2IF45)
