Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/2.28)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

dfib(s(s(x)),y) dfib(s(x),dfib(x,y)) (1)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[dfib(x1, x2)] = 1 + 2 · x1 + 1 · x2
[s(x1)] = 2 + 2 · x1
all of the following rules can be deleted.
dfib(s(s(x)),y) dfib(s(x),dfib(x,y)) (1)

1.1 R is empty

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