We are asked to determine termination of the following first-order TRS. 0 : [] --> o 1 : [] --> o f : [o] --> o g : [o] --> o f(1) => f(g(1)) f(f(X)) => f(X) g(0) => g(f(0)) g(g(X)) => g(X) 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#(1) =#> f#(g(1)) 1] f#(1) =#> g#(1) 2] f#(f(X)) =#> f#(X) 3] g#(0) =#> g#(f(0)) 4] g#(0) =#> f#(0) 5] g#(g(X)) =#> g#(X) Rules R_0: f(1) => f(g(1)) f(f(X)) => f(X) g(0) => g(f(0)) g(g(X)) => g(X) 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 place the elements of P in a dependency graph approximation G (see e.g. [Kop12, Thm. 7.27, 7.29], as follows: * 0 : * 1 : * 2 : 0, 1, 2 * 3 : * 4 : * 5 : 3, 4, 5 This graph has the following strongly connected components: P_1: f#(f(X)) =#> f#(X) P_2: g#(g(X)) =#> g#(X) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.31], we may replace any dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, m, f) by (P_1, R_0, m, f) and (P_2, R_0, m, f). Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative) and (P_2, R_0, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_2, R_0, minimal, formative). We apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function: nu(g#) = 1 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(g#(g(X))) = g(X) |> X = nu(g#(X)) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.35], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_2, R_0, minimal, f) by ({}, R_0, minimal, f). By the empty set processor [Kop12, Thm. 7.15] this problem may be immediately removed. 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 apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function: nu(f#) = 1 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(f#(f(X))) = f(X) |> X = nu(f#(X)) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.35], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_1, R_0, minimal, f) by ({}, R_0, minimal, f). By the empty set processor [Kop12, Thm. 7.15] this problem may be immediately removed. As all dependency pair problems were succesfully simplified with sound (and complete) processors until nothing remained, we conclude termination. +++ Citations +++ [Kop12] C. Kop.
