Abstract : In this paper we initiate a systematic study of polynomial-time reductions for some basic decision problems of rewrite systems. We then give a polynomial-time algorithm for Unique-normal-form property of ground systems for the first time. Next we prove undecidability of these problems for string rewriting using our reductions. Finally, we prove partial decidability results for Confluence of commutative semi-thue systems. The Confluence and Unique-normal-form property are also shown Expspace-hard for commutative semi-thue systems.
