Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Transformed_CSR_04/Ex4_4_Luc96b_GM)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a__f(g(X),Y) a__f(mark(X),f(g(X),Y)) (1)
mark(f(X1,X2)) a__f(mark(X1),X2) (2)
mark(g(X)) g(mark(X)) (3)
a__f(X1,X2) f(X1,X2) (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(f) = 0 status(f) = [2, 1] list-extension(f) = Lex
prec(mark) = 3 status(mark) = [1] list-extension(mark) = Lex
prec(a__f) = 1 status(a__f) = [1, 2] list-extension(a__f) = Lex
prec(g) = 0 status(g) = [1] list-extension(g) = Lex
and the following Max-polynomial interpretation
[f(x1, x2)] = max(0, 1 + 1 · x1, 0 + 1 · x2)
[mark(x1)] = 0 + 1 · x1
[a__f(x1, x2)] = max(0, 1 + 1 · x1, 0 + 1 · x2)
[g(x1)] = max(2, 4 + 1 · x1)
all of the following rules can be deleted.
a__f(g(X),Y) a__f(mark(X),f(g(X),Y)) (1)
mark(f(X1,X2)) a__f(mark(X1),X2) (2)
mark(g(X)) g(mark(X)) (3)
a__f(X1,X2) f(X1,X2) (4)

1.1 R is empty

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