1 AC Rule Removal

Using the non-linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[*(x1, x2)] = 3 + 3 · x2 + 3 · x1 + 2 · x1 · x2
[+(x1, x2)] = 1 · x2 + 1 · x1
[U(x1, x2)] = 2 + 3 · x2 + 3 · x1 + 3 · x1 · x2
[0(x1)] = 1 · x1
[#] = 3
[1(x1)] = 3 + 1 · x1
[empty] = 3
[sum(x1)] = 1 · x1
[singl(x1)] = 2 + 1 · x1 + 3 · x1 · x1
[prod(x1)] = 1 · x1 · x1
the rules

1.1.1.1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is AC-terminating.
