Kruskal's Tree Theorem for Acyclic Term Graphs

In this paper we study termination of term graph rewriting, where we restrict our attention to acyclic term graphs. Motivated by earlier work by Plump we aim at a definition of the notion of simplification order for acyclic term graphs. For this we adapt the homeomorphic embedding relation to term g...
