Certification Problem

Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/ICFP_2010/25731)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

0(1(2(1(x1))))	→	1(2(1(1(0(1(2(0(1(2(x1))))))))))	(1)
0(1(2(1(x1))))	→	1(2(1(1(0(1(2(0(1(2(0(1(2(x1)))))))))))))	(2)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 String Reversal

Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS

1(2(1(0(x1))))	→	2(1(0(2(1(0(1(1(2(1(x1))))))))))	(3)
1(2(1(0(x1))))	→	2(1(0(2(1(0(2(1(0(1(1(2(1(x1)))))))))))))	(4)

1.1 Bounds

The given TRS is match-(raise)-bounded by 3. This is shown by the following automaton.

final states:

{4}
