Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.07)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

*(i(x),x) 1 (1)
*(1,y) y (2)
*(x,0) 0 (3)
*(*(x,y),z) *(x,*(y,z)) (4)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions
prec(0) = 1 weight(0) = 1
prec(1) = 0 weight(1) = 7
prec(*) = 2 weight(*) = 0
prec(i) = 3 weight(i) = 5
all of the following rules can be deleted.
*(i(x),x) 1 (1)
*(1,y) y (2)
*(x,0) 0 (3)
*(*(x,y),z) *(x,*(y,z)) (4)

1.1 R is empty

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