YES We show the termination of the TRS R: f(s(x),y) -> f(x,s(x)) f(x,s(y)) -> f(y,x) f(c(x),y) -> f(x,s(x)) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(s(x),y) -> f#(x,s(x)) p2: f#(x,s(y)) -> f#(y,x) p3: f#(c(x),y) -> f#(x,s(x)) and R consists of: r1: f(s(x),y) -> f(x,s(x)) r2: f(x,s(y)) -> f(y,x) r3: f(c(x),y) -> f(x,s(x)) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p1, p2, p3} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(s(x),y) -> f#(x,s(x)) p2: f#(c(x),y) -> f#(x,s(x)) p3: f#(x,s(y)) -> f#(y,x) and R consists of: r1: f(s(x),y) -> f(x,s(x)) r2: f(x,s(y)) -> f(y,x) r3: f(c(x),y) -> f(x,s(x)) 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) = max{x1 + 10, x2 + 8} s_A(x1) = max{6, x1 + 3} c_A(x1) = x1 + 6 precedence: f# = s = c partial status: pi(f#) = [1, 2] pi(s) = [1] pi(c) = [1] 2. weighted path order base order: max/plus interpretations on natural numbers: f#_A(x1,x2) = max{x1 + 4, x2 - 2} s_A(x1) = max{8, x1 + 7} c_A(x1) = x1 + 2 precedence: f# = s = c partial status: pi(f#) = [1] pi(s) = [1] pi(c) = [1] The next rules are strictly ordered: p1, p2, p3 We remove them from the problem. Then no dependency pair remains.
