Certification Problem
Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Zantema_04/z101)
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
|
a(a(x1)) |
→ |
b(b(b(x1))) |
(1) |
|
b(b(b(b(b(x1))))) |
→ |
a(a(a(x1))) |
(2) |
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
| [a(x1)] |
= |
1 · x1 + 8 |
| [b(x1)] |
= |
1 · x1 + 5 |
all of the following rules can be deleted.
|
a(a(x1)) |
→ |
b(b(b(x1))) |
(1) |
|
b(b(b(b(b(x1))))) |
→ |
a(a(a(x1))) |
(2) |
1.1 R is empty
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
