YES We show the termination of the TRS R: f(f(x)) -> g(f(x)) g(g(x)) -> f(x) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(f(x)) -> g#(f(x)) p2: g#(g(x)) -> f#(x) and R consists of: r1: f(f(x)) -> g(f(x)) r2: g(g(x)) -> f(x) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p1, p2} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(f(x)) -> g#(f(x)) p2: g#(g(x)) -> f#(x) and R consists of: r1: f(f(x)) -> g(f(x)) r2: g(g(x)) -> f(x) The set of usable rules consists of r1, r2 Take the reduction pair: max/plus interpretations on natural numbers: f#_A(x1) = max{1, x1} f_A(x1) = x1 + 2 g#_A(x1) = max{2, x1} g_A(x1) = max{4, x1 + 2} The next rules are strictly ordered: p2 We remove them from the problem. -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(f(x)) -> g#(f(x)) and R consists of: r1: f(f(x)) -> g(f(x)) r2: g(g(x)) -> f(x) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: (no SCCs)
