Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Waldmann_06/jwmatchb1)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

h(f(x,y)) f(y,f(h(h(x)),a)) (1)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Switch to Innermost Termination

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent:

10

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

1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
h#(f(x,y)) h#(h(x)) (2)
h#(f(x,y)) h#(x) (3)

1.1.1 Narrowing Processor

We consider all narrowings of the pair below position 1 to get the following set of pairs
h#(f(f(x0,x1),y1)) h#(f(x1,f(h(h(x0)),a))) (4)

1.1.1.1 Forward Instantiation Processor

We instantiate the pair to the following set of pairs
h#(f(f(y_0,y_1),x1)) h#(f(y_0,y_1)) (5)
h#(f(f(f(y_0,y_1),y_2),x1)) h#(f(f(y_0,y_1),y_2)) (6)

1.1.1.1.1 Reduction Pair Processor

the pairs
h#(f(f(x0,x1),y1)) h#(f(x1,f(h(h(x0)),a))) (4)
h#(f(f(y_0,y_1),x1)) h#(f(y_0,y_1)) (5)
h#(f(f(f(y_0,y_1),y_2),x1)) h#(f(f(y_0,y_1),y_2)) (6)
could be deleted.

1.1.1.1.1.1 P is empty

There are no pairs anymore.
