Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.04)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

+(*(x,y),*(a,y)) *(+(x,a),y) (1)
*(*(x,y),z) *(x,*(y,z)) (2)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions
prec(+) = 0 weight(+) = 0
prec(a) = 3 weight(a) = 1
prec(*) = 1 weight(*) = 0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
+(*(x,y),*(a,y)) *(+(x,a),y) (1)
*(*(x,y),z) *(x,*(y,z)) (2)

1.1 R is empty

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