Well-definedness of streams by termination

Streams are infinite sequences over a given data type. A stream specification is a set of equations intended to define a stream. We propose a transformation from such a stream specification to a TRS in such a way that termination of the resulting TRS implies that the stream specification admits a unique solution. As a consequence, proving such well-definedness of several interesting stream specifications can be done fully automatically using present powerful tools for proving TRS termination
