We recall the well-known result that any recursively enumerable set of strings can occur as the set of normalizing strings over a “small” alphabet if the rewriting system is allowed access to a “larger” alphabet (and extend the result to termination). We then show that these results do not hold when alphabet extension is disallowed. Finally, we prove that for every reasonably well-behaved deterministic time complexity class, there is a set of strings complete for the class that also occurs as the set of normalizing or terminating strings, without alphabet extension.
