MAYBE
We consider the system theBenchmark.

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

  0 : [] --> o 
  f : [o * o * o] --> o 
  false : [] --> o 
  gt : [o * o] --> o 
  s : [o] --> o 
  true : [] --> o 
  trunc : [o] --> o 

  f(true, X, Y) => f(gt(X, Y), trunc(X), s(Y)) 
  trunc(0) => 0 
  trunc(s(0)) => 0 
  trunc(s(s(X))) => s(s(trunc(X))) 
  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 : [] --> lb 
  f : [pb * lb * lb] --> z 
  false : [] --> pb 
  gt : [lb * lb] --> pb 
  s : [lb] --> lb 
  true : [] --> pb 
  trunc : [lb] --> lb
