Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/2.57)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(g(h(x,y)),f(a,a)) f(h(x,x),g(f(y,a))) (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
[f(x1, x2)] = 2 · x1 + 1 · x2
[g(x1)] = 1 + 2 · x1
[h(x1, x2)] = 1 · x1 + 1 · x2
[a] = 0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
f(g(h(x,y)),f(a,a)) f(h(x,x),g(f(y,a))) (1)

1.1 R is empty

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