Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/2.35)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

and(x,false) false (1)
and(x,not(false)) x (2)
not(not(x)) x (3)
implies(false,y) not(false) (4)
implies(x,false) not(x) (5)
implies(not(x),not(y)) implies(y,and(x,y)) (6)

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
[and(x1, x2)] = 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[false] = 0
[not(x1)] = 2 · x1
[implies(x1, x2)] = 1 + 2 · x1 + 2 · x2
all of the following rules can be deleted.
implies(false,y) not(false) (4)
implies(x,false) not(x) (5)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[and(x1, x2)] = 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[false] = 0
[not(x1)] = 1 + 2 · x1
[implies(x1, x2)] = 1 · x1 + 2 · x2
all of the following rules can be deleted.
and(x,not(false)) x (2)
not(not(x)) x (3)
implies(not(x),not(y)) implies(y,and(x,y)) (6)

1.1.1 Rule Removal

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions
prec(false) = 1 weight(false) = 1
prec(and) = 0 weight(and) = 0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
and(x,false) false (1)

1.1.1.1 R is empty

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