YES Consider the TRS R consisting of the following rewrite rules: *(i(x),x) -> 1 *(1,y) -> y *(x,0) -> 0 *(*(x,y),z) -> *(x,*(y,z)) The TRS R is transformed (by dropping rewrite rules whose left-hand sides contain a function symbol which does not occur in any right-hand side) into a TRS R' consisting of the following rewrite rules: *(x,0) -> 0 *(*(x,y),z) -> *(x,*(y,z)) The TRS R is terminating because R' is match-bounded for RFC#(R') by 1. A tree automaton compatible with match(R') and RFC#(R') has - 4 states (1,...,4) - 2 final states (1,2) - 8 transitions: 1 -> 4 2 -> 4 #_0 -> 3 *_0(3,4) -> 2 *_0(3,3) -> 4 0_1 -> 2 0_0 -> 1 0_0 -> 2 __________________________________________________________________ TTTbox (0.004 seconds) - April 13, 2007 Source file - /home/ami/mkorp/Testbench/tpdb-3.2/TRS/SK90/4.07.trs
