Input (TPDB TRS_Relative/Relative_05/rt1-3)

The relative rewrite relation R/S is considered where R is the following TRS

t(f(x),g(y),f(z)) t(z,g(x),g(y)) (1)
t(g(x),g(y),f(z)) t(f(y),f(z),x) (2)

and S is the following TRS.

g(g(x)) f(f(x)) (3)
f(f(x)) g(g(x)) (4)
g(f(x)) f(g(x)) (5)
f(g(x)) g(f(x)) (6)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

all of the following rules can be deleted.
t(g(x),g(y),f(z)) t(f(y),f(z),x) (2)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[t(x1, x2, x3)] = 1 · x1 + 1 · x2 + 1 · x3
[f(x1)] = 1 + 1 · x1
[g(x1)] = 1 + 1 · x1
all of the following rules can be deleted.
t(f(x),g(y),f(z)) t(z,g(x),g(y)) (1)

1.1.1 R is empty

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