MAYBE
We consider the system theBenchmark.

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

  0 : [] --> o 
  false : [] --> o 
  if : [o * o * o] --> o 
  le : [o * o] --> o 
  minus : [o * o] --> o 
  p : [o] --> o 
  s : [o] --> o 
  true : [] --> o 

  p(0) => 0 
  p(s(X)) => X 
  le(0, X) => true 
  le(s(X), 0) => false 
  le(s(X), s(Y)) => le(X, Y) 
  minus(X, Y) => if(le(X, Y), X, Y) 
  if(true, X, Y) => 0 
  if(false, X, Y) => s(minus(p(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 : [] --> tb 
  false : [] --> ab 
  if : [ab * tb * tb] --> tb 
  le : [tb * tb] --> ab 
  minus : [tb * tb] --> tb 
  p : [tb] --> tb 
  s : [tb] --> tb 
  true : [] --> ab
