Abstract
We propose a functional description of rewriting systems where reduction rules are represented by linear maps called reduction operators. We show that reduction operators admit a lattice structure. Using this structure we define the notions of confluence and of Church-Rosser property. We show that these notions are equivalent. We give an algebraic formulation of completion and show that such a completion exists using the lattice structure. We interpret the confluence for reduction operators in terms of Gröbner bases. Finally, we introduce generalised reduction operators relative to non totally ordered sets.
