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: weighted path order base order: matrix interpretations: carrier: N^2 order: standard order interpretations: f#_A(x1,x2) = ((1,0),(1,0)) x2 + (2,3) g_A(x1,x2) = x1 + (4,2) f_A(x1,x2) = ((1,1),(1,1)) x1 + (1,1) precedence: f > f# = g partial status: pi(f#) = [] pi(g) = [] pi(f) = [1] The next rules are strictly ordered: p1 We remove them from the problem. Then no dependency pair remains.
