Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/2.10)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

minus(0) 0 (1)
+(x,0) x (2)
+(0,y) y (3)
+(minus(1),1) 0 (4)
minus(minus(x)) x (5)
+(x,minus(y)) minus(+(minus(x),y)) (6)
+(x,+(y,z)) +(+(x,y),z) (7)
+(minus(+(x,1)),1) minus(x) (8)

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
[minus(x1)] = 2 + 1 · x1
[0] = 0
[+(x1, x2)] = 1 + 1 · x1 + 2 · x2
[1] = 0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
minus(0) 0 (1)
+(x,0) x (2)
+(0,y) y (3)
+(minus(1),1) 0 (4)
minus(minus(x)) x (5)
+(x,+(y,z)) +(+(x,y),z) (7)
+(minus(+(x,1)),1) minus(x) (8)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the
prec(+) = 1 stat(+) = lex
prec(minus) = 0 stat(minus) = lex

π(+) = [2,1]
π(minus) = [1]

all of the following rules can be deleted.
+(x,minus(y)) minus(+(minus(x),y)) (6)

1.1.1 R is empty

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