Abstract

We give an algorithm solving combined word problems (over non-necessarily disjoint signatures) based on rewriting of equivalence classes of terms. The canonical rewriting system we introduce consists of few transparent rules and is obtained by applying Knuth–Bendix completion procedure to presentations of pushouts among categories with products. It applies to pairs of theories which are both constructible over their common reduct (on which we do not make any special assumption).
