MAYBE
We consider the system theBenchmark.

We are asked to determine termination of the following first-order TRS.

  !minus : [o * o] --> o 
  !plus : [o * o] --> o 
  !times : [o * o] --> o 
  0 : [] --> o 
  f : [o] --> o 
  p : [o] --> o 
  s : [o] --> o 

  !minus(X, 0) => X 
  !minus(s(X), s(Y)) => !minus(X, Y) 
  !plus(0, X) => X 
  !plus(s(X), Y) => s(!plus(X, Y)) 
  !times(X, 0) => 0 
  !times(X, s(Y)) => !plus(X, !times(X, Y)) 
  p(s(X)) => X 
  f(s(X)) => f(!minus(p(!times(s(X), s(X))), !times(s(X), s(X)))) 

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:

  !minus : [bc * bc] --> bc 
  !plus : [bc * bc] --> bc 
  !times : [bc * bc] --> bc 
  0 : [] --> bc 
  f : [bc] --> cc 
  p : [bc] --> bc 
  s : [bc] --> bc
