Summary: | Sesqui-pushout (SqPO) rewriting is a variant of transformations of graph-like and other types of structures that fit into the framework of adhesive categories where deletion in unknown context may be implemented. We provide the first account of a concurrency theorem for this important type of rewriting, and we demonstrate the additional mathematical property of a form of associativity for these theories. Associativity may then be exploited to construct so-called rule algebras (of SqPO type), based upon which in particular a universal framework of continuous-time Markov chains for stochastic SqPO rewriting systems may be realized. |
