Abstract : We describe decision procedures for certain classes of semantic matching problems, where the equational theory with respect to which the semantic matching is performed has a convergent rewrite system. We give counterexamples to show that semantic matching becomes undecidable (as it generally is) when the conditions we give are weakened. 1,
