Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Various_04/18)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

+(*(x,y),*(x,z)) *(x,+(y,z)) (1)
+(+(x,y),z) +(x,+(y,z)) (2)
+(*(x,y),+(*(x,z),u)) +(*(x,+(y,z)),u) (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(u) = 2 weight(u) = 1
prec(*) = 1 weight(*) = 0
prec(+) = 0 weight(+) = 0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
+(*(x,y),*(x,z)) *(x,+(y,z)) (1)
+(+(x,y),z) +(x,+(y,z)) (2)
+(*(x,y),+(*(x,z),u)) +(*(x,+(y,z)),u) (3)

1.1 R is empty

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