YES We show the termination of the TRS R: +(|0|(),y) -> y +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) +(s(x),y) -> +(x,s(y)) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: +#(s(x),y) -> +#(x,y) p2: +#(s(x),y) -> +#(x,s(y)) and R consists of: r1: +(|0|(),y) -> y r2: +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) r3: +(s(x),y) -> +(x,s(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: +#(s(x),y) -> +#(x,y) p2: +#(s(x),y) -> +#(x,s(y)) and R consists of: r1: +(|0|(),y) -> y r2: +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) r3: +(s(x),y) -> +(x,s(y)) The set of usable rules consists of (no rules) Take the monotone reduction pair: lexicographic combination of reduction pairs: 1. matrix interpretations: carrier: N^2 order: standard order interpretations: +#_A(x1,x2) = ((1,1),(1,1)) x1 + x2 s_A(x1) = ((1,0),(1,1)) x1 + (1,1) 2. matrix interpretations: carrier: N^2 order: standard order interpretations: +#_A(x1,x2) = x1 + ((1,0),(1,1)) x2 s_A(x1) = x1 + (1,1) 3. matrix interpretations: carrier: N^2 order: standard order interpretations: +#_A(x1,x2) = ((1,0),(1,0)) x1 + ((1,1),(1,1)) x2 s_A(x1) = ((1,1),(1,1)) x1 + (1,1) The next rules are strictly ordered: p1, p2 r1, r2, r3 We remove them from the problem. Then no dependency pair remains.
