YES We show the termination of R/S, where R is T(I(x),y) -> T(x,y) and S is: T(x,y) -> T(x,I(y)) Since R almost dominates S and S is non-duplicating, it is enough to show finiteness of (P, Q). Here P consists of the dependency pairs T#(I(x),y) -> T#(x,y) and Q consists of the rules: T(I(x),y) -> T(x,y) T(x,y) -> T(x,I(y)) T#(x,y) -> T#(x,I(y)) The weakly monotone algebra (N^2, >_lex) with T#_A((x1,y1),(x2,y2)) = (x1 + x2, y1) I_A((x1,y1)) = (x1, y1 + 1) T_A((x1,y1),(x2,y2)) = (x1 + x2, y1) strictly orients the following dependency pairs: T#(I(x),y) -> T#(x,y) We remove them from the set of dependency pairs. No dependency pair remains.
