Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/AProVE_04/rta1)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

plus(s(s(x)),y) s(plus(x,s(y))) (1)
plus(x,s(s(y))) s(plus(s(x),y)) (2)
plus(s(0),y) s(y) (3)
plus(0,y) y (4)
ack(0,y) s(y) (5)
ack(s(x),0) ack(x,s(0)) (6)
ack(s(x),s(y)) ack(x,plus(y,ack(s(x),y))) (7)

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.
plus#(s(s(x)),y) plus#(x,s(y)) (8)
plus#(x,s(s(y))) plus#(s(x),y) (9)
ack#(s(x),0) ack#(x,s(0)) (10)
ack#(s(x),s(y)) ack#(s(x),y) (11)
ack#(s(x),s(y)) plus#(y,ack(s(x),y)) (12)
ack#(s(x),s(y)) ack#(x,plus(y,ack(s(x),y))) (13)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 2 components.
