= Knuth–Bendix completion algorithm
{wiki=Knuth–Bendix_completion_algorithm}
The Knuth–Bendix completion algorithm is a method used in the field of term rewriting and automated theorem proving to transform a set of rules (or rewrite rules) into a confluent and terminating rewriting system. This is important for ensuring that any term can be rewritten in a unique normal form, which is essential in many computational applications, such as symbolic computation and reasoning systems.
