Argument functions: [[0]] = _|_ We choose Lex = {} and Mul = {@_{o -> o}, double, inc, map, plus, s, times}, and the following precedence: inc > double > map > s > times > @_{o -> o} > plus Taking the argument function into account, and fixing the greater / greater equal choices, the constraints can be denoted as follows: @_{o -> o}(times(s(X)), Y) > @_{o -> o}(plus(@_{o -> o}(times(X), Y)), Y) inc(X) >= map(plus(s(_|_)), X) double(X) >= map(times(s(s(_|_))), X) With these choices, we have: 1] @_{o -> o}(times(s(X)), Y) > @_{o -> o}(plus(@_{o -> o}(times(X), Y)), Y) because [2], by definition 2] @_{o -> o}*(times(s(X)), Y) >= @_{o -> o}(plus(@_{o -> o}(times(X), Y)), Y) because [3], by (Select) 3] times(s(X)) @_{o -> o}*(times(s(X)), Y) >= @_{o -> o}(plus(@_{o -> o}(times(X), Y)), Y) because [4] 4] times*(s(X), @_{o -> o}*(times(s(X)), Y)) >= @_{o -> o}(plus(@_{o -> o}(times(X), Y)), Y) because times > @_{o -> o}, [5] and [11], by (Copy) 5] times*(s(X), @_{o -> o}*(times(s(X)), Y)) >= plus(@_{o -> o}(times(X), Y)) because times > plus and [6], by (Copy) 6] times*(s(X), @_{o -> o}*(times(s(X)), Y)) >= @_{o -> o}(times(X), Y) because times > @_{o -> o}, [7] and [11], by (Copy) 7] times*(s(X), @_{o -> o}*(times(s(X)), Y)) >= times(X) because times in Mul and [8], by (Stat) 8] s(X) > X because [9], by definition 9] s*(X) >= X because [10], by (Select) 10] X >= X by (Meta) 11] times*(s(X), @_{o -> o}*(times(s(X)), Y)) >= Y because [12], by (Select) 12] @_{o -> o}*(times(s(X)), Y) >= Y because [13], by (Select) 13] Y >= Y by (Meta) 14] inc(X) >= map(plus(s(_|_)), X) because [15], by (Star) 15] inc*(X) >= map(plus(s(_|_)), X) because inc > map, [16] and [19], by (Copy) 16] inc*(X) >= plus(s(_|_)) because inc > plus and [17], by (Copy) 17] inc*(X) >= s(_|_) because inc > s and [18], by (Copy) 18] inc*(X) >= _|_ by (Bot) 19] inc*(X) >= X because [20], by (Select) 20] X >= X by (Meta) 21] double(X) >= map(times(s(s(_|_))), X) because [22], by (Star) 22] double*(X) >= map(times(s(s(_|_))), X) because double > map, [23] and [27], by (Copy) 23] double*(X) >= times(s(s(_|_))) because double > times and [24], by (Copy) 24] double*(X) >= s(s(_|_)) because double > s and [25], by (Copy) 25] double*(X) >= s(_|_) because double > s and [26], by (Copy) 26] double*(X) >= _|_ by (Bot) 27] double*(X) >= X because [28], by (Select) 28] X >= X by (Meta) We can thus remove the following rules: times(s(X)) Y => plus(times(X) Y) Y We use rule removal, following [Kop12, Theorem 2.23]. This gives the following requirements (possibly using Theorems 2.25 and 2.26 in [Kop12]): inc(X) >? map(plus(s(0)), X) double(X) >? map(times(s(s(0))), X) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: 0 = 0 double = \y0.3 + 3y0 inc = \y0.3 + 3y0 map = \G0y1.y1 + G0(0) plus = \y0y1.y0 s = \y0.y0 times = \y0y1.y0 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[inc(_x0)]] = 3 + 3x0 > x0 = [[map(plus(s(0)), _x0)]] [[double(_x0)]] = 3 + 3x0 > x0 = [[map(times(s(s(0))), _x0)]] We can thus remove the following rules: inc(X) => map(plus(s(0)), X) double(X) => map(times(s(s(0))), 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.
