Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/AG01/#3.16)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

times(x,0) 0 (1)
times(x,s(y)) plus(times(x,y),x) (2)
plus(x,0) x (3)
plus(0,x) x (4)
plus(x,s(y)) s(plus(x,y)) (5)
plus(s(x),y) s(plus(x,y)) (6)

Property / Task

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
times#(x,s(y)) times#(x,y) (7)
plus#(s(x),y) plus#(x,y) (8)
times#(x,s(y)) plus#(times(x,y),x) (9)
plus#(x,s(y)) plus#(x,y) (10)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 2 components.
