Abstract: Termination is an important property of term rewriting systems. Simplification orderings are often used methods which guarantee termination. We describe the basic ideas of comparing terms and present the formal definitions and some examples of the most popular simplification orderings. A new definition of one of them is given which is simpler than the original and therefore better to handle. Furthermore, we complete the comparison found in the literature, i. e. we mark off the power (the sets of comparable terms) of the orderings.
