Using the
non-linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
| [f(x1, x2)] |
= |
1 · x2 + 1 · x1
|
| [g(x1)] |
= |
1 + 1 · x1

| [b] |
= |
1 |
| [i(x1, x2)] |
= |
2 · x2 + 1 · x1

1.1 AC Rule Removal
Using the
non-linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
| [f(x1, x2)] |
= |
1 · x2 + 1 · x1 + 2 · x1 · x2
|
| [h(x1)] |
= |
2 + 1 · x1
|
| [a] |
= |
0 |
| [g(x1)] |
= |
2 + 1 · x1
|
the
rule
|
f(h(a),g(a)) |
→ |
f(g(h(a)),a) |
(2) |
can be deleted.
1.1.1 R is empty
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is AC-terminating.
