We are asked to determine termination of the following first-order TRS. 0 : [] --> o double : [o] --> o eq : [o * o] --> o f : [o * o] --> o half : [o] --> o s : [o] --> o tt : [] --> o f(tt, X) => f(eq(X, half(double(X))), s(X)) eq(s(X), s(Y)) => eq(X, Y) eq(0, 0) => tt double(s(X)) => s(s(double(X))) double(0) => 0 half(s(s(X))) => s(half(X)) half(0) => 0 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 : [] --> lb double : [lb] --> lb eq : [lb * lb] --> na f : [na * lb] --> y half : [lb] --> lb s : [lb] --> lb tt : [] --> na +++ Citations +++ [FuhGieParSchSwi11] C.
