YES We show the termination of the TRS R: g(x,y) -> x g(x,y) -> y f(s(x),y,y) -> f(y,x,s(x)) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(s(x),y,y) -> f#(y,x,s(x)) and R consists of: r1: g(x,y) -> x r2: g(x,y) -> y r3: f(s(x),y,y) -> f(y,x,s(x)) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p1} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(s(x),y,y) -> f#(y,x,s(x)) and R consists of: r1: g(x,y) -> x r2: g(x,y) -> y r3: f(s(x),y,y) -> f(y,x,s(x)) The set of usable rules consists of (no rules) Take the reduction pair: lexicographic combination of reduction pairs: 1. max/plus interpretations on natural numbers: f#_A(x1,x2,x3) = max{x1, x2 + 1, x3 - 4} s_A(x1) = max{3, x1 + 2} 2. max/plus interpretations on natural numbers: f#_A(x1,x2,x3) = 0 s_A(x1) = 0 The next rules are strictly ordered: p1 We remove them from the problem. Then no dependency pair remains.
