Abstract. We study preservation of fi-strong normalization by d and dn , two confluent -calculi with explicit substitutions defined in [10]; the particularity of these calculi is that both have a composition operator for substitutions. We develop an abstract simulation technique allowing to reduce preservation of fi-strong normalization of one calculus to that of another one, and apply said technique to reduce preservation of fi-strong normalization of d and dn to that of f , another calculus having no composition operator. Then, preservation of fi-strong normalization of f is shown using the same technique as in [2]. As a consequence, d and dn become the fir...
