Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/2.24)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

fib(0) 0 (1)
fib(s(0)) s(0) (2)
fib(s(s(x))) +(fib(s(x)),fib(x)) (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the
prec(0) = 1 stat(0) = lex
prec(s) = 1 stat(s) = lex
prec(+) = 0 stat(+) = lex

π(fib) = 1
π(0) = []
π(s) = [1]
π(+) = [2,1]

all of the following rules can be deleted.
fib(s(s(x))) +(fib(s(x)),fib(x)) (3)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions
prec(0) = 1 weight(0) = 1
prec(fib) = 0 weight(fib) = 1
prec(s) = 2 weight(s) = 1
all of the following rules can be deleted.
fib(0) 0 (1)
fib(s(0)) s(0) (2)

1.1.1 R is empty

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