Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/2.30)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

not(x) xor(x,true) (1)
implies(x,y) xor(and(x,y),xor(x,true)) (2)
or(x,y) xor(and(x,y),xor(x,y)) (3)
=(x,y) xor(x,xor(y,true)) (4)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[not(x1)] = 1 + 1 · x1
[xor(x1, x2)] = 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[true] = 1
[implies(x1, x2)] = 2 + 2 · x1 + 1 · x2
[and(x1, x2)] = 1 + 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[or(x1, x2)] = 1 + 2 · x1 + 2 · x2
[=(x1, x2)] = 2 + 2 · x1 + 2 · x2
all of the following rules can be deleted.
=(x,y) xor(x,xor(y,true)) (4)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[not(x1)] = 1 + 2 · x1
[xor(x1, x2)] = 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[true] = 0
[implies(x1, x2)] = 2 + 2 · x1 + 1 · x2
[and(x1, x2)] = 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[or(x1, x2)] = 2 · x1 + 2 · x2
all of the following rules can be deleted.
not(x) xor(x,true) (1)
implies(x,y) xor(and(x,y),xor(x,true)) (2)

1.1.1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[or(x1, x2)] = 2 + 2 · x1 + 2 · x2
[xor(x1, x2)] = 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[and(x1, x2)] = 1 + 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
all of the following rules can be deleted.
or(x,y) xor(and(x,y),xor(x,y)) (3)

1.1.1.1 R is empty

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