Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/2.22)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

exp(x,0) s(0) (1)
exp(x,s(y)) *(x,exp(x,y)) (2)
*(0,y) 0 (3)
*(s(x),y) +(y,*(x,y)) (4)
-(0,y) 0 (5)
-(x,0) x (6)
-(s(x),s(y)) -(x,y) (7)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the
prec(exp) = 3 stat(exp) = lex
prec(0) = 1 stat(0) = lex
prec(s) = 1 stat(s) = lex
prec(*) = 2 stat(*) = lex
prec(+) = 0 stat(+) = lex
prec(-) = 1 stat(-) = lex

π(exp) = [1,2]
π(0) = []
π(s) = [1]
π(*) = [1,2]
π(+) = [1,2]
π(-) = [2,1]

all of the following rules can be deleted.
exp(x,0) s(0) (1)
exp(x,s(y)) *(x,exp(x,y)) (2)
*(0,y) 0 (3)
*(s(x),y) +(y,*(x,y)) (4)
-(0,y) 0 (5)
-(x,0) x (6)
-(s(x),s(y)) -(x,y) (7)

1.1 R is empty

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