Abstract: This article presents three new approaches to prove termination of rewritesystems with the Knuth-Bendix order efficiently. The constraints for theweight function and for the precedence are encoded inhbox{(pseudo-)}propositional logic or linear arithmetic and theresulting formula is tested for satisfiability using dedicated solvers.Any satisfying assignment represents a weight function and a precedencesuch that the induced Knuth-Bendix order orients the rules of the encodedrewrite system from left to right. This means that in contrast to thededicated methods our approach does not directly solve the problem buttransforms it to equivalent formulations for which sophisticatedback-ends exist.In order to make all approaches complete we present a method to computeupper bounds on the weights.Furthermore, our encodings take dependency pairs into accountto increase the applicability of the order.
