1 AC Rule Removal
Using the
non-linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
| [plus(x1, x2)] |
= |
1 + 1 · x2 + 1 · x1
|
| [times(x1, x2)] |
= |
1 + 2 · x2 + 2 · x1 + 2 · x1 · x2
|
| [0] |

| [s(x1)] |
= |
2 + 1 · x1

1.1 AC Rule Removal
Using the
non-linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
| [plus(x1, x2)] |
= |
3 + 3 · x2 + 3 · x1 + 2 · x1 · x2
|
| [times(x1, x2)] |
= |
1 + 2 · x2 + 2 · x1 + 2 · x1 · x2
|
| [s(x1)] |
= |
3 + 1 · x1

1.1.1 R is empty
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is AC-terminating.
