1 Dependency Pair Transformation

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 3 components.

• The 1^st component contains the pair

  times#(x,plus(y,1))

  →

  times#(x,plus(y,times(1,0)))

  (16)

  1.1.1 Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules

  Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions

  prec(1)	=	2		weight(1)	=	4
  prec(times)	=	3		weight(times)	=	3
  prec(0)	=	1		weight(0)	=	2
  prec(s)	=	0		weight(s)	=	1

  in combination with the following argument filter

  π(times#)	=	2
  π(plus)	=	2
  π(1)	=	[]
  π(times)	=	[]
  π(0)	=	[]
  π(s)	=	[]

  together with the usable rules

  times(x,0)	→	0	(3)
  plus(s(x),s(y))	→	s(s(plus(if(gt(x,y),x,y),if(not(gt(x,y)),id(x),id(y)))))	(4)
  plus(s(x),x)	→	plus(if(gt(x,x),id(x),id(x)),s(x))	(5)
  plus(zero,y)	→	y	(6)
  plus(id(x),s(y))	→	s(plus(x,if(gt(s(y),y),y,s(y))))	(7)

  (w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the pair

  times#(x,plus(y,1))

  →

  times#(x,plus(y,times(1,0)))

  (16)

  could be deleted.

  1.1.1.1 P is empty

  There are no pairs anymore.

• The 2^nd component contains the pair

  plus#(s(x),x)	→	plus#(if(gt(x,x),id(x),id(x)),s(x))	(26)
  plus#(s(x),s(y))	→	plus#(if(gt(x,y),x,y),if(not(gt(x,y)),id(x),id(y)))	(19)
  plus#(id(x),s(y))	→	plus#(x,if(gt(s(y),y),y,s(y)))	(30)

  1.1.2 Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules

  Using the matrix interpretations of dimension 1 with strict dimension 1 over the arctic semiring over the naturals

  [plus#(x1, x2)]	=	0 + 1 · x1 + 0 · x2
  [s(x1)]	=	0 + 4 · x1
  [if(x1, x2, x3)]	=	-∞ + 0 · x1 + 0 · x2 + 0 · x3
  [gt(x1, x2)]	=	-∞ + 0 · x1 + 0 · x2
  [id(x1)]	=	-∞ + 0 · x1
  [not(x1)]	=	1 + 4 · x1
  [zero]	=	1
  [true]	=	0
  [false]	=	0

  together with the usable rules

  gt(s(x),zero)	→	true	(12)
  gt(zero,y)	→	false	(13)
  gt(s(x),s(y))	→	gt(x,y)	(14)
  id(x)	→	x	(8)
  if(true,x,y)	→	x	(9)
  if(false,x,y)	→	y	(10)
  not(x)	→	if(x,false,true)	(11)

  (w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the pair

  plus#(s(x),x)

  →

  plus#(if(gt(x,x),id(x),id(x)),s(x))

  (26)

  could be deleted.

  1.1.2.1 Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules

  Using the matrix interpretations of dimension 1 with strict dimension 1 over the arctic semiring over the naturals

  [plus#(x1, x2)]	=	0 + 1 · x1 + 0 · x2
  [s(x1)]	=	0 + 2 · x1
  [if(x1, x2, x3)]	=	-∞ + -∞ · x1 + 0 · x2 + 0 · x3
  [gt(x1, x2)]	=	-∞ + 0 · x1 + 1 · x2
  [not(x1)]	=	4 + 2 · x1
  [id(x1)]	=	-∞ + 1 · x1
  [zero]	=	0
  [true]	=	0
  [false]	=	0

  together with the usable rules

  if(true,x,y)	→	x	(9)
  if(false,x,y)	→	y	(10)
  id(x)	→	x	(8)

  (w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the pair

  plus#(s(x),s(y))

  →

  plus#(if(gt(x,y),x,y),if(not(gt(x,y)),id(x),id(y)))

  (19)

  could be deleted.

  1.1.2.1.1 Size-Change Termination

  Using size-change termination in combination with the subterm criterion one obtains the following initial size-change graphs.

  plus#(id(x),s(y))	→	plus#(x,if(gt(s(y),y),y,s(y)))	(30)
  1	>	1

  As there is no critical graph in the transitive closure, there are no infinite chains.

• The 3^rd component contains the pair

  gt#(s(x),s(y))

  →

  gt#(x,y)

  (34)

  1.1.3 Monotonic Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules

  Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals

  [s(x1)]	=	1 · x1
  [gt#(x1, x2)]	=	1 · x1 + 1 · x2

  having no usable rules (w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the rule could be deleted.

  1.1.3.1 Size-Change Termination

  Using size-change termination in combination with the subterm criterion one obtains the following initial size-change graphs.

  gt#(s(x),s(y))	→	gt#(x,y)	(34)
  1	>	1
  2	>	2

  As there is no critical graph in the transitive closure, there are no infinite chains.
