YES We show the termination of the TRS R: g(f(x),y) -> f(h(x,y)) h(x,y) -> g(x,f(y)) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: g#(f(x),y) -> h#(x,y) p2: h#(x,y) -> g#(x,f(y)) and R consists of: r1: g(f(x),y) -> f(h(x,y)) r2: h(x,y) -> g(x,f(y)) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p1, p2} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: g#(f(x),y) -> h#(x,y) p2: h#(x,y) -> g#(x,f(y)) and R consists of: r1: g(f(x),y) -> f(h(x,y)) r2: h(x,y) -> g(x,f(y)) The set of usable rules consists of (no rules) Take the reduction pair: lexicographic path order with precedence: precedence: h# > f > g# argument filter: pi(g#) = 1 pi(f) = [1] pi(h#) = 1 The next rules are strictly ordered: p1 We remove them from the problem. -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: h#(x,y) -> g#(x,f(y)) and R consists of: r1: g(f(x),y) -> f(h(x,y)) r2: h(x,y) -> g(x,f(y)) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: (no SCCs)
