YES We show the termination of the TRS R: f(g(x)) -> f(a(g(g(f(x))),g(f(x)))) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(g(x)) -> f#(a(g(g(f(x))),g(f(x)))) p2: f#(g(x)) -> f#(x) and R consists of: r1: f(g(x)) -> f(a(g(g(f(x))),g(f(x)))) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p2} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(g(x)) -> f#(x) and R consists of: r1: f(g(x)) -> f(a(g(g(f(x))),g(f(x)))) The set of usable rules consists of (no rules) Take the reduction pair: generalized weighted path order (>=MG, >G) base order 1: matrix interpretation with standard point-wise order: carrier: N^1 order: standard order interpretations: f#_A(x1) = x1 g_A(x1) = x1 + 3 base order 2: marked-algebra reduction triple (>=A, >=A!, >A!): matrix interpretation with standard point-wise order: carrier: N^1 order: standard order interpretations: f#_A(x1) = x1 g_A(x1) = x1 + 1 f#!_A(x1) = x1 + 1 g!_A(x1) = 0 partial status: pi(f#) = [1] pi(g) = [1] The following rules are removed: p1 Then no dependency pair remains.
