1 Dependency Pair Transformation

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 3 components.

• The 1^st component contains the pair

  quot#(s(X),s(Y))

  →

  quot#(min(X,Y),s(Y))

  (12)

  1.1.1 Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules

  Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions

  prec(s)

  =

  0

  weight(s)

  =

  1

  in combination with the following argument filter

  π(quot#)	=	1
  π(s)	=	[1]
  π(min)	=	1

  together with the usable rules

  min(X,0)	→	X	(3)
  min(min(X,Y),Z)	→	min(X,plus(Y,Z))	(5)
  min(s(X),s(Y))	→	min(X,Y)	(4)

  (w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the pair

  quot#(s(X),s(Y))

  →

  quot#(min(X,Y),s(Y))

  (12)

  could be deleted.

  1.1.1.1 P is empty

  There are no pairs anymore.

• The 2^nd component contains the pair

  min#(min(X,Y),Z)	→	min#(X,plus(Y,Z))	(10)
  min#(s(X),s(Y))	→	min#(X,Y)	(9)

  1.1.2 Monotonic Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules

  Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals

  [plus(x1, x2)]	=	1 · x1 + 1 · x2
  [0]	=	0
  [s(x1)]	=	1 · x1
  [min(x1, x2)]	=	1 · x1 + 1 · x2
  [Z]	=	0
  [min#(x1, x2)]	=	1 · x1 + 1 · x2

  together with the usable rules

  plus(0,Y)	→	Y	(1)
  plus(s(X),Y)	→	s(plus(X,Y))	(2)

  (w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the rule could be deleted.

  1.1.2.1 Switch to Innermost Termination

  The TRS does not have overlaps with the pairs and is locally confluent:

  20

  Hence, it suffices to show innermost termination in the following.

  1.1.2.1.1 Size-Change Termination

  Using size-change termination in combination with the subterm criterion one obtains the following initial size-change graphs.

  min#(min(X,Y),Z)	→	min#(X,plus(Y,Z))	(10)
  1	>	1
  min#(s(X),s(Y))	→	min#(X,Y)	(9)
  1	>	1
  2	>	2

  As there is no critical graph in the transitive closure, there are no infinite chains.

• The 3^rd component contains the pair

  plus#(s(X),Y)

  →

  plus#(X,Y)

  (8)

  1.1.3 Monotonic Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules

  Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals

  [s(x1)]	=	1 · x1
  [plus#(x1, x2)]	=	1 · x1 + 1 · x2

  having no usable rules (w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the rule could be deleted.

  1.1.3.1 Size-Change Termination

  Using size-change termination in combination with the subterm criterion one obtains the following initial size-change graphs.

  plus#(s(X),Y)	→	plus#(X,Y)	(8)
  1	>	1
  2	≥	2

  As there is no critical graph in the transitive closure, there are no infinite chains.
