}We generalise the notion of explicit substitution from the λ-calculus to higher order rewriting, realised by combinatory reduction systems (CRSs). For every confluent CRS, R, we construct an explicit substitution variant, Rx, which we prove confluent.

The σ⇑-calculus is used as the substitution mechanism of general higher-order systems which the authors will name Explicit Reduction Systems and general conditions to define a confluent XRS are given.
Explicit Substitutions for the Lambda-Calculus

It is shown that λΔexp preserves strongnormalisation, which provides the first example -moreover a very natural one indeed of explicit substitution calculus which is not structure-preserving and has the preservation of strong normalisation property.

This work gives an innovative, although very natural, representation of variables abstract enough to fit in many different frameworks and more satisfactory from an operational perspective than usual representations.

The solution is based on CINNI, a new calculus of explicit substitutions that makes use of a term representation that contains both the standard named notation and de Bruijn’s indexed notation as special subcases.

Explicit Cyclic Substitutions

It is demonstrated how this may be used to describe standard binding constructions (let and letrec)—directly using substitution and fixed point induction as well as using ‘small-step’ rewriting semantics where substitution is interleaved with the mechanics of the following β-reductions.

It is shown that xgc is a conservative extension which preserves strong normalisation (PSN) of the untyped-calculus, which has two distinguishing features: rst, it retains the use of traditional variable names, specifying terms modulo renaming; this simpliies the reduction system.
