Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

nats :(0,inc(nats))
inc(:(x,y)) :(s(x),inc(y))
hd(:(x,y)) x
tl(:(x,y)) y
inc(tl(nats)) tl(inc(nats))

Proof

1 Compositional Parallel Critical Pair Systems

All parallel critical pairs of the TRS R are joinable by R. This can be seen as follows: The parallel critical pairs can be joined as follows. Here, ↔ is always chosen as an appropriate rewrite relation which is automatically inferred by the certifier.
The TRS C is chosen as:

There are no rules.

Consequently, PCPS(R,C) is included in the following TRS P where steps are used to show that certain pairs are C-convertible.
inc(tl(nats)) inc(tl(:(0,inc(nats))))
inc(tl(nats)) tl(inc(nats))

Relative termination of P / R is proven as follows.

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over (2 x 2)-matrices with strict dimension 1 over the naturals
[:(x1, x2)] =
1 2
0 2
· x1 +
2 1
0 0
· x2 +
0 0
0 0
[tl(x1)] =
1 2
2 0
· x1 +
2 0
0 0
[0] =
0 0
0 0
[s(x1)] =

[nats] =

[hd(x1)] =

[inc(x1)] =

0 0
all rules of R could be removed. Moreover, the rules
nats :(0,inc(nats))
inc(:(x,y)) :(s(x),inc(y))
hd(:(x,y)) x
remain in S.

1.1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS R. Hence, R/S is relative terminating.


Confluence of C is proven as follows.

1.2 (Weakly) Orthogonal

Confluence is proven since the TRS is (weakly) orthogonal.
