Hello. I am not aware of such results. Concerning reduction orders on simply-typed lambda-terms, you can have a look at the works of Jouannaud and Rubio: http://doi.org/10.1145/1206035.1206037 and http://doi.org/10.1145/2699913. Best regards, Frédéric.

Dear all,

Would welcome information on the following:

Does there exist a reduction ordering, total on ground terms of the 
simply-typed lambda calculus, that is compatible with beta-reduction?

That is, does there exist a reduction order ‘>’, total on ground terms of STT, 
such that for all terms t1 and t2 such that t1 beta-reduces to t2, we have t1 > t2?

Alternatively, is there a proof that no such ordering  can exist?

Failing either of the above, I would be interested in any partial results or 
possibly relevant results.

Thanks
