YES We show the termination of the TRS R: f(f(x)) -> g(f(x)) g(g(x)) -> f(x) -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(f(x)) -> g#(f(x)) p2: g#(g(x)) -> f#(x) and R consists of: r1: f(f(x)) -> g(f(x)) r2: g(g(x)) -> f(x) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p1, p2} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(f(x)) -> g#(f(x)) p2: g#(g(x)) -> f#(x) and R consists of: r1: f(f(x)) -> g(f(x)) r2: g(g(x)) -> f(x) The set of usable rules consists of r1, r2 Take the reduction pair: generalized weighted path order (>=MG, >G) base order 1: trivial reduction triple (T x T, T x T, Φ) base order 2: lexicographic combination of reduction triples: 1. marked-algebra reduction triple (>=A, >=A!, >A!): matrix interpretation with standard point-wise order: carrier: N^1 order: standard order interpretations: f#_A(x1) = 0 f_A(x1) = 0 g#_A(x1) = x1 g_A(x1) = x1 f#!_A(x1) = 1 f!_A(x1) = 2 g#!_A(x1) = 0 g!_A(x1) = x1 + 2 2. marked-algebra reduction triple (>=A, >=A!, >A!): max/plus interpretation on natural numbers: f#_A(x1) = 1 f_A(x1) = 6 g#_A(x1) = 1 g_A(x1) = 6 f#!_A(x1) = max{2, x1 - 9} f!_A(x1) = 3 g#!_A(x1) = 1 g!_A(x1) = max{3, x1 - 7} partial status: pi(f#) = [1] pi(f) = [1] pi(g#) = [1] pi(g) = [1] The following rules are removed: p1, p2 Then no dependency pair remains.
