YES
We consider the system theBenchmark.

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

  0 : [] --> o 
  1 : [] --> o 
  f : [o * o * o] --> o 
  s : [o] --> o 

  f(0, 1, X) => f(s(X), X, X) 
  f(X, Y, s(Z)) => s(f(0, 1, Z)) 

We use the dependency pair framework as described in [Kop12, Ch. 6/7], with static dependency pairs (see [KusIsoSakBla09] and the adaptation for AFSMs in [Kop12, Ch. 7.8]).

We thus obtain the following dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, minimal, formative):

  Dependency Pairs P_0:

    0] f#(0, 1, X) =#> f#(s(X), X, X)   
    1] f#(X, Y, s(Z)) =#> f#(0, 1, Z)   

  Rules R_0:

    f(0, 1, X) => f(s(X), X, X) 
    f(X, Y, s(Z)) => s(f(0, 1, Z)) 

Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_0, R_0, minimal, formative) is finite.

We consider the dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, minimal, formative).

We apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function:

  nu(f#) = 3 

Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows:

  nu(f#(0, 1, X)) = X = X = nu(f#(s(X), X, X)) 
  nu(f#(X, Y, s(Z))) = s(Z) |> Z = nu(f#(0, 1, Z)) 

By [Kop12, Thm. 7.35], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, minimal, f) by (P_1, R_0, minimal, f), where P_1 contains:

  f#(0, 1, X) =#> f#(s(X), X, X)   

Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative) is finite.

We consider the dependency pair problem (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative).

We place the elements of P in a dependency graph approximation G (see e.g. [Kop12, Thm. 7.27, 7.29], as follows:

    * 0 :  

This graph has no strongly connected components.  By [Kop12, Thm. 7.31], this implies finiteness of the dependency pair problem.

As all dependency pair problems were succesfully simplified with sound (and complete) processors until nothing remained, we conclude termination.
