Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Transformed_CSR_04/Ex25_Luc06_Z)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(f(X)) c(n__f(g(n__f(X)))) (1)
c(X) d(activate(X)) (2)
h(X) c(n__d(X)) (3)
f(X) n__f(X) (4)
d(X) n__d(X) (5)
activate(n__f(X)) f(X) (6)
activate(n__d(X)) d(X) (7)
activate(X) X (8)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 String Reversal

Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS
f(f(X)) n__f(g(n__f(c(X)))) (9)
c(X) activate(d(X)) (10)
h(X) n__d(c(X)) (11)
f(X) n__f(X) (4)
d(X) n__d(X) (5)
n__f(activate(X)) f(X) (12)
n__d(activate(X)) d(X) (13)
activate(X) X (8)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions
prec(n__d) = 7 weight(n__d) = 0
prec(h) = 2 weight(h) = 6
prec(d) = 5 weight(d) = 1
prec(activate) = 4 weight(activate) = 4
prec(c) = 6 weight(c) = 5
prec(g) = 0 weight(g) = 1
prec(n__f) = 1 weight(n__f) = 1
prec(f) = 3 weight(f) = 4
all of the following rules can be deleted.
f(f(X)) n__f(g(n__f(c(X)))) (9)
c(X) activate(d(X)) (10)
h(X) n__d(c(X)) (11)
f(X) n__f(X) (4)
d(X) n__d(X) (5)
n__f(activate(X)) f(X) (12)
n__d(activate(X)) d(X) (13)
activate(X) X (8)

1.1.1 R is empty

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