Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/2.58)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(x,y) x (1)
g(a) h(a,b,a) (2)
i(x) f(x,x) (3)
h(x,x,y) g(x) (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
[f(x1, x2)] = 2 + 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[g(x1)] = 1 · x1
[a] = 0
[h(x1, x2, x3)] = 2 · x1 + 2 · x2 + 1 · x3
[b] = 0
[i(x1)] = 2 + 2 · x1
all of the following rules can be deleted.
f(x,y) x (1)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the
prec(g) = 2 stat(g) = lex
prec(a) = 2 stat(a) = mul
prec(h) = 2 stat(h) = lex
prec(b) = 1 stat(b) = mul
prec(i) = 3 stat(i) = mul
prec(f) = 0 stat(f) = mul

π(g) = [1]
π(a) = []
π(h) = [2,1,3]
π(b) = []
π(i) = [1]
π(f) = [1,2]

all of the following rules can be deleted.
g(a) h(a,b,a) (2)
i(x) f(x,x) (3)
h(x,x,y) g(x) (4)

1.1.1 R is empty

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