Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Relative/INVY_15/#3.29_rand)

The relative rewrite relation R/S is considered where R is the following TRS

f(s(x),y,y) → f(y,x,s(x)) (1)

and S is the following TRS.

rand(x) → rand(s(x)) (2)
rand(x) → x (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

1.1.1 R is empty

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