Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.19)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

-(-(neg(x),neg(x)),-(neg(y),neg(y))) -(-(x,y),-(x,y)) (1)

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 weight(-) = 0
prec(neg) = 1 weight(neg) = 1
all of the following rules can be deleted.
-(-(neg(x),neg(x)),-(neg(y),neg(y))) -(-(x,y),-(x,y)) (1)

1.1 R is empty

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