Wiktionary
n. 1 Something that overlaps or is overlapped 2 (context rugby English) a situation in the game where an attacking line has more players in it than the defensive line coming to meet it. The attacking side may ''exploit the overlap'' by using their superior numbers to break the opposition's defensive line. If attackers outnumber defenders by more than one player this is often termed a ''two man overlap'' or ''three man overlap'', etc. If the attacking side fails to break through usually due to poor execution, they are said to ''waste an overlap''. vb. 1 To extend over and partly cover something. 2 To have an area, range, character or function in common. 3 (context mathematics English) Used of sets that have some elements in common.

In mathematics, computer science and logic, overlap, as a property of the reduction rules in term rewriting system, describes a situation where a number of different reduction rules specify potentially contradictory ways of reducing a reducible expression (or redex) within a term. More precisely, if a number of different reduction rules share function symbols on the left hand side, overlap can occur. Often we do not consider trivial overlap with a redex and itself.
For example, consider the term rewriting system defined by the reduction rules
ρ : f(g(x), y) → y ρ : g(x) → f(x, x)The term f(g(x), y) can be reduced via ρ to yield y, but it can also be reduced via ρ to yield f(f(x, x), y). Note how the redex g(x) is contained in the redex f(g(x), y). The result of reducing different redexes is described in a critical pair—the critical pair arising out of this term rewriting system is (f(f(x, x), y), y).
Overlap may occur with fewer than two reduction rules. Consider the term rewriting system defined by the reduction rule
ρ : g(g(x)) → xThe term g(g(g(x))) has overlapping redexes, which can be either applied to the innermost occurrence or to the outermost occurrence of the g(g(x)) term.
