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: weighted path order base order: matrix interpretations: carrier: N^2 order: lexicographic order interpretations: f#_A(x1) = ((0,0),(1,0)) x1 + (1,3) f_A(x1) = ((1,0),(1,1)) x1 + (4,6) g#_A(x1) = ((0,0),(1,0)) x1 + (1,1) g_A(x1) = ((1,0),(1,1)) x1 + (3,4) precedence: f# > f = g# = g partial status: pi(f#) = [] pi(f) = [1] pi(g#) = [] pi(g) = [] The next rules are strictly ordered: p1 We remove them from the problem. -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: 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: (no SCCs)
