YES We show the termination of the TRS R: g(f(x),y) -> f(h(x,y)) h(x,y) -> g(x,f(y)) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: g#(f(x),y) -> h#(x,y) p2: h#(x,y) -> g#(x,f(y)) and R consists of: r1: g(f(x),y) -> f(h(x,y)) r2: h(x,y) -> g(x,f(y)) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p1, p2} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: g#(f(x),y) -> h#(x,y) p2: h#(x,y) -> g#(x,f(y)) and R consists of: r1: g(f(x),y) -> f(h(x,y)) r2: h(x,y) -> g(x,f(y)) The set of usable rules consists of (no rules) Take the reduction pair: weighted path order base order: matrix interpretations: carrier: N^2 order: lexicographic order interpretations: g#_A(x1,x2) = x1 f_A(x1) = ((1,0),(1,1)) x1 + (2,2) h#_A(x1,x2) = ((1,0),(1,1)) x1 + (1,1) precedence: f > g# = h# partial status: pi(g#) = [1] pi(f) = [] pi(h#) = [1] The next rules are strictly ordered: p1 We remove them from the problem. -- SCC decomposition.
