Certification Problem
Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Zantema_04/z018)
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
|
a(b(x1)) |
→ |
b(c(a(x1))) |
(1) |
|
b(c(x1)) |
→ |
c(b(b(x1))) |
(2) |
|
b(a(x1)) |
→ |
a(c(b(x1))) |
(3) |
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
|
b(a(x1)) |
→ |
a(c(b(x1))) |
(3) |
|
c(b(x1)) |
→ |
b(b(c(x1))) |
(4) |
|
a(b(x1)) |
→ |
b(c(a(x1))) |
(1) |
1.1 Rule Removal
Using the
linear polynomial interpretation over (3 x 3)-matrices with strict dimension 1
over the naturals
| [a(x1)] |
= |
· x1 +
|
| [b(x1)] |
= |
· x1 +
|
| [c(x1)] |
= |
· x1 +
|
all of the following rules can be deleted.
|
b(a(x1)) |
→ |
a(c(b(x1))) |
(3) |
1.1.1 Rule Removal
Using the
Weighted Path Order with the following precedence and status
| prec(c) |
= |
2 |
|
status(c) |
= |
[1] |
|
list-extension(c) |
= |
Lex |
| prec(a) |
= |
3 |
|
status(a) |
= |
[1] |
|
list-extension(a) |
= |
Lex |
| prec(b) |
= |
0 |
|
status(b) |
= |
[1] |
|
list-extension(b) |
= |
Lex |
and the following
Max-polynomial interpretation
| [c(x1)] |
=
|
max(0, 0 + 1 · x1) |
| [a(x1)] |
=
|
max(0, 0 + 1 · x1) |
| [b(x1)] |
=
|
0 + 1 · x1
|
all of the following rules can be deleted.
|
c(b(x1)) |
→ |
b(b(c(x1))) |
(4) |
|
a(b(x1)) |
→ |
b(c(a(x1))) |
(1) |
1.1.1.1 R is empty
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
