→ |
b(b(x1)) |

1.1.1.1 Semantic Labeling
The following interpretations form a
model
of the rules.
As carrier we take the set
{0,...,7}.
Symbols are labeled by the interpretation of their arguments using the interpretations
(modulo 8):
[b(x1)] |
= |
2x1 + 0 |
[a(x1)] |
= |
2x1 + 1 |
We obtain the labeled TRS
There are 192 ruless (increase limit for explicit display).
1.1.1.1.1 Rule Removal
Using the
matrix interpretations of dimension 1 with strict dimension 1 over the rationals with delta = 1
[b0(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
[b4(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
[b2(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
[b6(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
[b1(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
[b5(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
[b3(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
[b7(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
[a0(x1)] |
= |

[a4(x1)] |

[a2(x1)] |

[a6(x1)] |
= |

[a1(x1)] |

[a5(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
[a3(x1)] |
= |

|
[a7(x1)] |
= |
x1 +
|
all of the following rules can be deleted.
There are 192 ruless (increase limit for explicit display).
1.1.1.1.1.1 R is empty
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
