YES We show the termination of the TRS R: f(g(x)) -> g(g(f(x))) f(g(x)) -> g(g(g(x))) -- SCC decomposition. 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)) -> g(g(f(x))) r2: f(g(x)) -> g(g(g(x))) The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs: {p1} -- 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)) -> g(g(f(x))) r2: f(g(x)) -> g(g(g(x))) The set of usable rules consists of (no rules) Take the reduction pair: generalized weighted path order (>=MG, >MG) base order 1: max/plus interpretation on natural numbers: f#_A(x1) = max{4, x1 + 2} g_A(x1) = max{8, x1 + 3} base order 2: precedence: g > f# partial status: pi(f#) = [1] pi(g) = [1] The following rules are removed: p1 Then no dependency pair remains.
