Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.41)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(a,y) f(y,g(y)) (1)
g(a) b (2)
g(b) b (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Switch to Innermost Termination

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent:

10

Hence, it suffices to show innermost termination in the following.

1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
f#(a,y) f#(y,g(y)) (4)
f#(a,y) g#(y) (5)

1.1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
