YES We show the termination of the TRS R: g(|0|()) -> |0|() g(s(x)) -> f(g(x)) f(|0|()) -> |0|() -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: g#(s(x)) -> f#(g(x)) p2: g#(s(x)) -> g#(x) and R consists of: r1: g(|0|()) -> |0|() r2: g(s(x)) -> f(g(x)) r3: f(|0|()) -> |0|() The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p2} -- Reduction pair. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: g#(s(x)) -> g#(x) and R consists of: r1: g(|0|()) -> |0|() r2: g(s(x)) -> f(g(x)) r3: f(|0|()) -> |0|() The set of usable rules consists of (no rules) 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!): max/plus interpretation on natural numbers: g#_A(x1) = 0 s_A(x1) = max{0, x1 - 4} g#!_A(x1) = 1 s!_A(x1) = max{1, x1 - 1} 2. marked-algebra reduction triple (>=A, >=A!, >A!): max/plus interpretation on natural numbers: g#_A(x1) = x1 s_A(x1) = x1 + 3 g#!_A(x1) = max{3, x1 - 12} s!_A(x1) = max{3, x1 - 11} partial status: pi(g#) = [1] pi(s) = [1] The following rules are removed: p1 Then no dependency pair remains.
