Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/AG01/#3.16)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

times(x,0) 0 (1)
times(x,s(y)) plus(times(x,y),x) (2)
plus(x,0) x (3)
plus(0,x) x (4)
plus(x,s(y)) s(plus(x,y)) (5)
plus(s(x),y) s(plus(x,y)) (6)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the Weighted Path Order with the following precedence and status
prec(plus) = 2 status(plus) = [1, 2] list-extension(plus) = Lex
prec(s) = 0 status(s) = [1] list-extension(s) = Lex
prec(times) = 3 status(times) = [1, 2] list-extension(times) = Lex
prec(0) = 0 status(0) = [] list-extension(0) = Lex
and the following Max-polynomial interpretation
[plus(x1, x2)] = max(5, 0 + 1 · x1, 5 + 1 · x2)
[s(x1)] = max(0, 0 + 1 · x1)
[times(x1, x2)] = max(0, 5 + 1 · x1, 0 + 1 · x2)
[0] = max(3)
all of the following rules can be deleted.
times(x,0) 0 (1)
times(x,s(y)) plus(times(x,y),x) (2)
plus(x,0) x (3)
plus(0,x) x (4)
plus(x,s(y)) s(plus(x,y)) (5)
plus(s(x),y) s(plus(x,y)) (6)

1.1 R is empty

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