Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Der95/18)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

*(x,+(y,z)) +(*(x,y),*(x,z)) (1)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the Weighted Path Order with the following precedence and status
prec(*) = 1 status(*) = [1, 2] list-extension(*) = Lex
prec(+) = 0 status(+) = [1, 2] list-extension(+) = Lex
and the following Max-polynomial interpretation
[*(x1, x2)] = max(0, 3 + 1 · x1, 0 + 1 · x2)
[+(x1, x2)] = max(0, 0 + 1 · x1, 0 + 1 · x2)
all of the following rules can be deleted.
*(x,+(y,z)) +(*(x,y),*(x,z)) (1)

1.1 R is empty

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