We are asked to determine termination of the following first-order TRS. 0 : [] --> o cond : [o * o * o] --> o false : [] --> o gt : [o * o] --> o minus : [o * o] --> o s : [o] --> o true : [] --> o minus(X, Y) => cond(gt(X, Y), X, Y) cond(false, X, Y) => 0 cond(true, X, Y) => s(minus(X, s(Y))) gt(0, X) => false gt(s(X), 0) => true gt(s(X), s(Y)) => gt(X, Y) As the system is orthogonal, it is terminating if it is innermost terminating by [Gra95]. Then, by [FuhGieParSchSwi11], it suffices to prove (innermost) termination of the typed system, with sort annotations chosen to respect the rules, as follows: 0 : [] --> fb cond : [jb * fb * fb] --> fb false : [] --> jb gt : [fb * fb] --> jb minus : [fb * fb] --> fb s : [fb] --> fb true : [] --> jb +++ Citations +++ [FuhGieParSchSwi11] C.
