Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.15)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

+(-(x,y),z) -(+(x,z),y) (1)
-(+(x,y),y) x (2)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ 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(+) = 1 weight(+) = 0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
+(-(x,y),z) -(+(x,z),y) (1)
-(+(x,y),y) x (2)

1.1 R is empty

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