Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/2.18)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

sum(0) 0 (1)
sum(s(x)) +(sum(x),s(x)) (2)
+(x,0) x (3)
+(x,s(y)) s(+(x,y)) (4)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the Weighted Path Order with the following precedence and status
prec(+) = 2 status(+) = [1, 2] list-extension(+) = Lex
prec(s) = 0 status(s) = [1] list-extension(s) = Lex
prec(sum) = 3 status(sum) = [1] list-extension(sum) = Lex
prec(0) = 0 status(0) = [] list-extension(0) = Lex
and the following Max-polynomial interpretation
[+(x1, x2)] = max(0, 0 + 1 · x1, 2 + 1 · x2)
[s(x1)] = 0 + 1 · x1
[sum(x1)] = max(0, 2 + 1 · x1)
[0] = max(2)
all of the following rules can be deleted.
sum(0) 0 (1)
sum(s(x)) +(sum(x),s(x)) (2)
+(x,0) x (3)
+(x,s(y)) s(+(x,y)) (4)

1.1 R is empty

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