YES We show the termination of the TRS R: g(x,y) -> x g(x,y) -> y f(s(x),y,y) -> f(y,x,s(x)) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(s(x),y,y) -> f#(y,x,s(x)) and R consists of: r1: g(x,y) -> x r2: g(x,y) -> y r3: f(s(x),y,y) -> f(y,x,s(x)) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p1} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(s(x),y,y) -> f#(y,x,s(x)) and R consists of: r1: g(x,y) -> x r2: g(x,y) -> y r3: f(s(x),y,y) -> f(y,x,s(x)) The set of usable rules consists of (no rules) Take the reduction pair: matrix interpretations: carrier: N^1 order: standard order interpretations: f#_A(x1,x2,x3) = x1 + x2 s_A(x1) = x1 + 1 The next rules are strictly ordered: p1 We remove them from the problem. Then no dependency pair remains.
