MAYBE
We consider the system theBenchmark.

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

  0 : [] --> o 
  div : [o * o] --> o 
  divByZeroError : [] --> o 
  false : [] --> o 
  ge : [o * o] --> o 
  if : [o * o * o] --> o 
  ify : [o * o * o] --> o 
  minus : [o * o] --> o 
  s : [o] --> o 
  true : [] --> o 

  ge(X, 0) => true 
  ge(0, s(X)) => false 
  ge(s(X), s(Y)) => ge(X, Y) 
  minus(X, 0) => X 
  minus(s(X), s(Y)) => minus(X, Y) 
  div(X, Y) => ify(ge(Y, s(0)), X, Y) 
  ify(false, X, Y) => divByZeroError 
  ify(true, X, Y) => if(ge(X, Y), X, Y) 
  if(false, X, Y) => 0 
  if(true, X, Y) => s(div(minus(X, Y), 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 : [] --> vc 
  div : [vc * vc] --> vc 
  divByZeroError : [] --> vc 
  false : [] --> bc 
  ge : [vc * vc] --> bc 
  if : [bc * vc * vc] --> vc 
  ify : [bc * vc * vc] --> vc 
  minus : [vc * vc] --> vc 
  s : [vc] --> vc 
  true : [] --> bc
