Certification Problem
Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Bouchare_06/04)
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
|
b(b(b(x1))) |
→ |
a(b(x1)) |
(1) |
|
a(a(x1)) |
→ |
a(b(a(x1))) |
(2) |
|
a(a(a(x1))) |
→ |
a(b(b(x1))) |
(3) |
Property / Task
Prove or disprove termination.Answer / Result
Yes.Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)
1 String Reversal
Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS
|
b(b(b(x1))) |
→ |
b(a(x1)) |
(4) |
|
a(a(x1)) |
→ |
a(b(a(x1))) |
(2) |
|
a(a(a(x1))) |
→ |
b(b(a(x1))) |

1.1 Rule Removal
Using the
linear polynomial interpretation over (2 x 2)-matrices with strict dimension 1
over the arctic semiring over the integers
| [a(x1)] |
= |
· x1 +
|
| [b(x1)] |
= |
· x1 +
|
all of the following rules can be deleted.
|
a(a(a(x1))) |
→ |
b(b(a(x1))) |
(5) |
1.1.1 Rule Removal
Using the
linear polynomial interpretation over (3 x 3)-matrices with strict dimension 1
over the naturals
| [a(x1)] |
= |
· x1 +
|
| [b(x1)] |
= |
· x1 +
|
all of the following rules can be deleted.
|
b(b(b(x1))) |
→ |
b(a(x1)) |

1.1.1.1.1 R is empty
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
