We are asked to determine termination of the following first-order TRS. activate : [o] --> o c : [o] --> o d : [o] --> o f : [o] --> o g : [o] --> o h : [o] --> o n!6220!6220d : [o] --> o n!6220!6220f : [o] --> o f(f(X)) => c(n!6220!6220f(g(n!6220!6220f(X)))) c(X) => d(activate(X)) h(X) => c(n!6220!6220d(X)) f(X) => n!6220!6220f(X) d(X) => n!6220!6220d(X) activate(n!6220!6220f(X)) => f(X) activate(n!6220!6220d(X)) => d(X) activate(X) => X We use rule removal, following [Kop12, Theorem 2.23]. This gives the following requirements (possibly using Theorems 2.25 and 2.26 in [Kop12]): f(f(X)) >? c(n!6220!6220f(g(n!6220!6220f(X)))) c(X) >? d(activate(X)) h(X) >? c(n!6220!6220d(X)) f(X) >? n!6220!6220f(X) d(X) >? n!6220!6220d(X) activate(n!6220!6220f(X)) >? f(X) activate(n!6220!6220d(X)) >? d(X) activate(X) >? X We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: activate = \y0.1 + y0 c = \y0.1 + y0 d = \y0.y0 f = \y0.1 + y0 g = \y0.y0 h = \y0.3 + 3y0 n!6220!6220d = \y0.y0 n!6220!6220f = \y0.y0 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[f(f(_x0))]] = 2 + x0 > 1 + x0 = [[c(n!6220!6220f(g(n!6220!6220f(_x0))))]] [[c(_x0)]] = 1 + x0 >= 1 + x0 = [[d(activate(_x0))]] [[h(_x0)]] = 3 + 3x0 > 1 + x0 = [[c(n!6220!6220d(_x0))]] [[f(_x0)]] = 1 + x0 > x0 = [[n!6220!6220f(_x0)]] [[d(_x0)]] = x0 >= x0 = [[n!6220!6220d(_x0)]] [[activate(n!6220!6220f(_x0))]] = 1 + x0 >= 1 + x0 = [[f(_x0)]] [[activate(n!6220!6220d(_x0))]] = 1 + x0 > x0 = [[d(_x0)]] [[activate(_x0)]] = 1 + x0 > x0 = [[_x0]] We can thus remove the following rules: f(f(X)) => c(n!6220!6220f(g(n!6220!6220f(X)))) h(X) => c(n!6220!6220d(X)) f(X) => n!6220!6220f(X) activate(n!6220!6220d(X)) => d(X) activate(X) => X We use rule removal, following [Kop12, Theorem 2.23]. This gives the following requirements (possibly using Theorems 2.25 and 2.26 in [Kop12]): c(X) >? d(activate(X)) d(X) >? n!6220!6220d(X) activate(n!6220!6220f(X)) >? f(X) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: activate = \y0.y0 c = \y0.3 + 3y0 d = \y0.y0 f = \y0.y0 n!6220!6220d = \y0.y0 n!6220!6220f = \y0.3 + y0 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[c(_x0)]] = 3 + 3x0 > x0 = [[d(activate(_x0))]] [[d(_x0)]] = x0 >= x0 = [[n!6220!6220d(_x0)]] [[activate(n!6220!6220f(_x0))]] = 3 + x0 > x0 = [[f(_x0)]] We can thus remove the following rules: c(X) => d(activate(X)) activate(n!6220!6220f(X)) => f(X) We use rule removal, following [Kop12, Theorem 2.23]. This gives the following requirements (possibly using Theorems 2.25 and 2.26 in [Kop12]): d(X) >? n!6220!6220d(X) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: d = \y0.3 + 3y0 n!6220!6220d = \y0.y0 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[d(_x0)]] = 3 + 3x0 > x0 = [[n!6220!6220d(_x0)]] We can thus remove the following rules: d(X) => n!6220!6220d(X) All rules were succesfully removed. Thus, termination of the original system has been reduced to termination of the beta-rule, which is well-known to hold. +++ Citations +++ [Kop12] C. Kop. Higher Order Termination. PhD Thesis, 2012.
