YES We show the termination of the TRS R: if(true(),x,y) -> x if(false(),x,y) -> y if(x,y,y) -> y if(if(x,y,z),u(),v()) -> if(x,if(y,u(),v()),if(z,u(),v())) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: if#(if(x,y,z),u(),v()) -> if#(x,if(y,u(),v()),if(z,u(),v())) p2: if#(if(x,y,z),u(),v()) -> if#(y,u(),v()) p3: if#(if(x,y,z),u(),v()) -> if#(z,u(),v()) and R consists of: r1: if(true(),x,y) -> x r2: if(false(),x,y) -> y r3: if(x,y,y) -> y r4: if(if(x,y,z),u(),v()) -> if(x,if(y,u(),v()),if(z,u(),v())) 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: if#(if(x,y,z),u(),v()) -> if#(x,if(y,u(),v()),if(z,u(),v())) p2: if#(if(x,y,z),u(),v()) -> if#(z,u(),v()) p3: if#(if(x,y,z),u(),v()) -> if#(y,u(),v()) and R consists of: r1: if(true(),x,y) -> x r2: if(false(),x,y) -> y r3: if(x,y,y) -> y r4: if(if(x,y,z),u(),v()) -> if(x,if(y,u(),v()),if(z,u(),v())) The set of usable rules consists of r1, r2, r3, r4 Take the reduction pair: lexicographic combination of reduction pairs: 1. lexicographic path order with precedence: precedence: false > true > if > v > u > if# argument filter: pi(if#) = 1 pi(if) = [1, 2, 3] pi(u) = [] pi(v) = [] pi(true) = [] pi(false) = [] 2. matrix interpretations: carrier: N^1 order: standard order interpretations: if#_A(x1,x2,x3) = 0 if_A(x1,x2,x3) = x3 + 1 u_A() = 1 v_A() = 1 true_A() = 0 false_A() = 0 The next rules are strictly ordered: p1, p2, p3 We remove them from the problem. Then no dependency pair remains.
