Abstract

Prefix iteration a* x is added to Minimal Process Algebra (MPAδ, which is a subalgebra of BPAδ equivalent to Milner's basic CCS. We present a finite equational axiomatization for MPA* δ, and prove that this axiomatization is complete with respect to strong bisimulation equivalence. To obtain this result, we will set up a term rewriting system, based on the axioms, and show that bisimilar terms have the same normal form.
