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, >MG) base order 1: max/plus interpretation on natural numbers: f#_A(x1) = max{16, x1 + 1} f_A(x1) = max{18, x1 + 13} g#_A(x1) = max{17, x1 - 3} g_A(x1) = max{27, x1 + 7} base order 2: precedence: f# > g > f > g# partial status: pi(f#) = [1] pi(f) = [1] pi(g#) = [] pi(g) = [1] The following rules are removed: p2 -- SCC decomposition. Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of p1: f#(f(x)) -> g#(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: (no SCCs)
