Input (TPDB TRS_Innermost/Mixed_innermost/innermost2)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

g(c,g(a(x),y)) g(f(a(b)),g(a(y),x)) (1)
f(a(x)) c (2)
a(b) d (3)
The evaluation strategy is innermost.

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[g(x1, x2)] = 2 · x1 + 2 · x2
[c] = 1
[a(x1)] = 1 + 1 · x1
[f(x1)] = 1 · x1
[b] = 0
[d] = 0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
a(b) d (3)

1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
g#(c,g(a(x),y)) g#(f(a(b)),g(a(y),x)) (4)
g#(c,g(a(x),y)) f#(a(b)) (5)
g#(c,g(a(x),y)) g#(a(y),x) (6)

1.1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 0 components.
