Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Rubio_04/mfp90b)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a g(c) (1)
g(a) b (2)
f(g(X),b) f(a,X) (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

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

1.1 R is empty

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