YES We show the termination of the TRS R: f(g(x,y),f(y,y)) -> f(g(y,x),y) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(g(x,y),f(y,y)) -> f#(g(y,x),y) and R consists of: r1: f(g(x,y),f(y,y)) -> f(g(y,x),y) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p1} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(g(x,y),f(y,y)) -> f#(g(y,x),y) and R consists of: r1: f(g(x,y),f(y,y)) -> f(g(y,x),y) The set of usable rules consists of (no rules) Take the reduction pair: lexicographic combination of reduction pairs: 1. weighted path order base order: max/plus interpretations on natural numbers: f#_A(x1,x2) = x2 + 7 g_A(x1,x2) = max{8, x1 + 4, x2 + 6} f_A(x1,x2) = max{x1, x2} precedence: f# = g = f partial status: pi(f#) = [2] pi(g) = [2] pi(f) = [1, 2] 2. weighted path order base order: max/plus interpretations on natural numbers: f#_A(x1,x2) = max{2, x2 + 1} g_A(x1,x2) = max{3, x2 + 1} f_A(x1,x2) = max{x1, x2} precedence: f# = g = f partial status: pi(f#) = [] pi(g) = [] pi(f) = [2] The next rules are strictly ordered: p1 We remove them from the problem. Then no dependency pair remains.
