Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/AG01/#3.52)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(0,1,x) f(s(x),x,x) (1)
f(x,y,s(z)) s(f(0,1,z)) (2)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
f#(0,1,x) f#(s(x),x,x) (3)
f#(x,y,s(z)) f#(0,1,z) (4)

1.1 Size-Change Termination

Using size-change termination in combination with the subterm criterion one obtains the following initial size-change graphs.

f#(0,1,x) f#(s(x),x,x) (3)
3 3
3 2
f#(x,y,s(z)) f#(0,1,z) (4)
3 > 3

As there is no critical graph in the transitive closure, there are no infinite chains.
