Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.10)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

*(x,*(y,z)) *(otimes(x,y),z) (1)
*(1,y) y (2)
*(+(x,y),z) oplus(*(x,z),*(y,z)) (3)
*(x,oplus(y,z)) oplus(*(x,y),*(x,z)) (4)

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(oplus) = 0 status(oplus) = [1, 2] list-extension(oplus) = Lex
prec(+) = 0 status(+) = [2, 1] list-extension(+) = Lex
prec(1) = 0 status(1) = [] list-extension(1) = Lex
prec(otimes) = 0 status(otimes) = [2, 1] list-extension(otimes) = Lex
prec(*) = 5 status(*) = [2, 1] list-extension(*) = Lex
and the following Max-polynomial interpretation
[oplus(x1, x2)] = max(0, 0 + 1 · x1, 1 + 1 · x2)
[+(x1, x2)] = 4 + 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[1] = max(4)
[otimes(x1, x2)] = max(0, 0 + 1 · x1, 0 + 1 · x2)
[*(x1, x2)] = 0 + 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
all of the following rules can be deleted.
*(x,*(y,z)) *(otimes(x,y),z) (1)
*(1,y) y (2)
*(+(x,y),z) oplus(*(x,z),*(y,z)) (3)
*(x,oplus(y,z)) oplus(*(x,y),*(x,z)) (4)

1.1 R is empty

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