Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Zantema_04/z118)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(x1) g(d(x1)) (1)
b(b(b(x1))) c(d(c(x1))) (2)
b(b(x1)) a(g(g(x1))) (3)
c(d(x1)) g(g(x1)) (4)
g(g(g(x1))) b(b(x1)) (5)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the arctic semiring over the integers
[c(x1)] = 8 · x1 + -∞
[d(x1)] = 0 · x1 + -∞
[b(x1)] = 6 · x1 + -∞
[a(x1)] = 4 · x1 + -∞
[g(x1)] = 4 · x1 + -∞
all of the following rules can be deleted.
b(b(b(x1))) c(d(c(x1))) (2)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over (3 x 3)-matrices with strict dimension 1 over the naturals
[c(x1)] =
1 0 1
1 0 1
1 0 0
· x1 +
1 0 0
1 0 0

[b(x1)] =

0 0 0
0 0 0

1 0 0
0 0 0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
g(g(g(x1))) b(b(x1)) (5)

1.1.1 Rule Removal

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions
prec(c) = 5 weight(c) = 1
prec(b) = 2 weight(b) = 2
prec(g) = 0 weight(g) = 1
prec(d) = 7 weight(d) = 1
prec(a) = 1 weight(a) = 2
all of the following rules can be deleted.
a(x1) g(d(x1)) (1)
b(b(x1)) a(g(g(x1))) (3)
c(d(x1)) g(g(x1)) (4)

1.1.1.1 R is empty

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