1 Dependency Pair Transformation
The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
|
b#(c(x1)) |
→ |
a#(a(x1)) |
(4) |
|
b#(c(x1)) |
→ |
a#(x1) |
(5) |
|
c#(a(x1)) |
→ |
b#(b(c(c(x1)))) |
(6) |
|
c#(a(x1)) |
→ |
b#(c(c(x1))) |
(7) |
|
c#(a(x1)) |
→ |
c#(c(x1)) |
(8) |
|
c#(a(x1)) |
→ |
c#(x1) |
(9) |
1.1 Dependency Graph Processor
The dependency pairs are split into 1
component.
-
The
1st
component contains the
pair
|
c#(a(x1)) |
→ |
c#(x1) |
(9) |
|
c#(a(x1)) |
→ |
c#(c(x1)) |

1.1.1 Reduction Pair Processor
Using the matrix interpretations of dimension 3 with strict dimension 1 over the arctic semiring over the naturals
| [c#(x1)] |
= |
+ · x1
|
| [a(x1)] |
= |
+ · x1
|
| [c(x1)] |
= |
+ · x1
|
| [b(x1)] |
= |
+ · x1
|
the
pair
|
c#(a(x1)) |
→ |
c#(c(x1)) |
(8) |
could be deleted.
1.1.1.1 Monotonic Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules
Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
| [a(x1)] |
= |
1 · x1
|
| [c#(x1)] |
= |
1 · x1
|
having no usable rules (w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the
reduction pair),
the
rule
could be deleted.
1.1.1.1.1 Size-Change Termination
Using size-change termination in combination with
the subterm criterion
one obtains the following initial size-change graphs.
|
c#(a(x1)) |
→ |
c#(x1) |

As there is no critical graph in the transitive closure, there are no infinite chains.
