MAYBE
We consider the system theBenchmark.

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

  0 : [] --> o 
  cond : [o * o * o] --> o 
  f : [o * o] --> o 
  lt : [o * o] --> o 
  s : [o] --> o 
  tt : [] --> o 

  f(X, Y) => cond(lt(X, Y), X, Y) 
  cond(tt, X, Y) => f(s(X), s(Y)) 
  lt(0, X) => tt 
  lt(s(X), s(Y)) => lt(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 : [] --> oa 
  cond : [sa * oa * oa] --> da 
  f : [oa * oa] --> da 
  lt : [oa * oa] --> sa 
  s : [oa] --> oa 
  tt : [] --> sa
