Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/HirokawaMiddeldorp_04/t010)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

g(b) f(b) (1)
f(a) g(a) (2)
b a (3)

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(a) = 0 status(a) = [] list-extension(a) = Lex
prec(f) = 0 status(f) = [1] list-extension(f) = Lex
prec(g) = 0 status(g) = [1] list-extension(g) = Lex
prec(b) = 0 status(b) = [] list-extension(b) = Lex
and the following Max-polynomial interpretation
[a] = max(0)
[f(x1)] = max(4, 0 + 1 · x1)
[g(x1)] = max(0, 1 + 1 · x1)
[b] = max(4)
all of the following rules can be deleted.
g(b) f(b) (1)
f(a) g(a) (2)
b a (3)

1.1 R is empty

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