Abstract:
Consideration was given to an approach to the problem of program simplification. The essential idea is to perform manipulations, through a set of transformation rules, on a given class of function-representing expressions which we call F-expressions, thereby producing equivalent F-expressions form which better programs may be generated. The first part of the report defines the F-expressions and discusses in general terms the process of using transformation rules to perform a systematic search for the best F-expression equivalent to the given one. An application off this sch scheme is given. Author
