Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.53)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(a) b (1)
f(c) d (2)
f(g(x,y)) g(f(x),f(y)) (3)
f(h(x,y)) g(h(y,f(x)),h(x,f(y))) (4)
g(x,x) h(e,x) (5)

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(e) = 0 status(e) = [] list-extension(e) = Lex
prec(h) = 0 status(h) = [1, 2] list-extension(h) = Lex
prec(g) = 0 status(g) = [2, 1] list-extension(g) = Lex
prec(d) = 0 status(d) = [] list-extension(d) = Lex
prec(c) = 0 status(c) = [] list-extension(c) = Lex
prec(b) = 0 status(b) = [] list-extension(b) = Lex
prec(f) = 3 status(f) = [1] list-extension(f) = Lex
prec(a) = 0 status(a) = [] list-extension(a) = Lex
and the following Max-polynomial interpretation
[e] = max(0)
[h(x1, x2)] = max(0, 2 + 1 · x1, 0 + 1 · x2)
[g(x1, x2)] = max(4, 1 + 1 · x1, 0 + 1 · x2)
[d] = max(0)
[c] = max(4)
[b] = max(0)
[f(x1)] = max(0, 4 + 1 · x1)
[a] = max(4)
all of the following rules can be deleted.
f(a) b (1)
f(c) d (2)
f(g(x,y)) g(f(x),f(y)) (3)
f(h(x,y)) g(h(y,f(x)),h(x,f(y))) (4)
g(x,x) h(e,x) (5)

1.1 R is empty

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