Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.12)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

+(0,y) y (1)
+(s(x),0) s(x) (2)
+(s(x),s(y)) s(+(s(x),+(y,0))) (3)

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
[+(x1, x2)] = 1 · x1 + 2 · x2
[0] = 0
[s(x1)] = 2 + 1 · x1
all of the following rules can be deleted.
+(s(x),s(y)) s(+(s(x),+(y,0))) (3)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions
prec(0) = 2 weight(0) = 1
prec(s) = 1 weight(s) = 1
prec(+) = 0 weight(+) = 0
all of the following rules can be deleted.
+(0,y) y (1)
+(s(x),0) s(x) (2)

1.1.1 R is empty

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