Input (TPDB TRS_Relative/INVY_15/#3.26_rand)

The relative rewrite relation R/S is considered where R is the following TRS

f(x) s(x) (1)
f(s(s(x))) s(f(f(x))) (2)

and S is the following TRS.

rand(x) x (3)
rand(x) rand(s(x)) (4)

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
f(x) s(x) (1)
s(s(f(x))) f(f(s(x))) (5)
rand(x) x (3)
rand(x) s(rand(x)) (6)

1.1.1.1.1 R is empty

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