d(0(x1)) 0(x1) (2)
d(s(x1)) s(s(d(p(s(x1))))) (3)
f(s(x1)) d(f(p(s(x1)))) (4)
p(s(x1)) x1 (5)

Property / Task

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the matrix interpretations of dimension 1 with strict dimension 1 over the rationals with delta = 1
[0(x1)] = x1 +
0
[f(x1)] = x1 +
1
[d(x1)] = x1 +
0
[s(x1)] = x1 +
0
[p(x1)] = x1 +
0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
f(0(x1)) s(0(x1)) (1)

1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
f#(s(x1)) f#(p(s(x1))) (6)
f#(s(x1)) d#(f(p(s(x1)))) (7)
f#(s(x1)) p#(s(x1)) (8)
d#(s(x1)) d#(p(s(x1))) (9)
d#(s(x1)) p#(s(x1)) (10)

1.1.1 Monotonic Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules

Using the matrix interpretations of dimension 1 with strict dimension 1 over the rationals with delta = 1
[0(x1)] = x1 +
0
[f(x1)] = x1 +
0
[d(x1)] = x1 +
0
[s(x1)] = x1 +
0
[p(x1)] = x1 +
0
[f#(x1)] = x1 +
2
[d#(x1)] = x1 +
1
[p#(x1)] = x1 +
0
together with the usable rules
d(0(x1)) 0(x1) (2)
d(s(x1)) s(s(d(p(s(x1))))) (3)
f(s(x1)) d(f(p(s(x1)))) (4)
p(s(x1)) x1 (5)
(w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the pairs
f#(s(x1)) d#(f(p(s(x1)))) (7)
f#(s(x1)) p#(s(x1)) (8)
d#(s(x1)) p#(s(x1)) (10)
and no rules could be deleted.

1.1.1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 2 components.
