Certification Problem                    
                
Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.39)
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| 
*(x,*(minus(y),y)) | 
→ | 
*(minus(*(y,y)),x) | 
(1) | 
Property / Task
Prove or disprove termination.Answer / Result
Yes.Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)
1 Rule Removal
      Using the
      linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
| [*(x1, x2)] | 
 =  | 
2 · x1 + 2 · x2
 | 
| [minus(x1)] | 
 =  | 
2 + 1 · x1
 | 
                
      all of the following rules can be deleted.  
      
| 
*(x,*(minus(y),y)) | 
→ | 
*(minus(*(y,y)),x) | 
(1) | 
1.1 R is empty 
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
