Explicit substitutions (ES) were introduced as a bridge between the theory of rewrite systems with binders and substitution, such as the λ-calculus, and their implementation. In a seminal paper P.- A. Melli`es observed that the dynamical properties of a rewrite system and its ES-based implementation may not coincide: he showed that a strongly normalising term (i.e. one which does not admit infinite derivations) in the λ-calculus may lose this status in its ES-based implementation. This paper studies normalisation for the latter systems in the general setting of higher-order rewriting: Based on recent work extending the theory of needed strategies to non-orthogonal rewrite systems we show that needed strategies normalise in the ES-based implementation of any orthogonal pattern higher-order rewrite system.
