Termination of R to be shown.

     ↳Overlay and local confluence Check

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent (all critical pairs are trivially joinable).Hence, we can switch to innermost.

         ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

APP(app(minus, x), app(s, y)) -> APP(pred, app(app(minus, x), y))
APP(app(minus, x), app(s, y)) -> APP(app(minus, x), y)
APP(app(quot, app(s, x)), app(s, y)) -> APP(s, app(app(quot, app(app(minus, x), y)), app(s, y)))
APP(app(quot, app(s, x)), app(s, y)) -> APP(app(quot, app(app(minus, x), y)), app(s, y))
APP(app(quot, app(s, x)), app(s, y)) -> APP(quot, app(app(minus, x), y))
APP(app(quot, app(s, x)), app(s, y)) -> APP(app(minus, x), y)
APP(app(quot, app(s, x)), app(s, y)) -> APP(minus, x)

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

Dependency Pair:

Rules:

app(pred, app(s, x)) -> x
app(app(minus, x), 0) -> x
app(app(minus, x), app(s, y)) -> app(pred, app(app(minus, x), y))
app(app(quot, 0), app(s, y)) -> 0
app(app(quot, app(s, x)), app(s, y)) -> app(s, app(app(quot, app(app(minus, x), y)), app(s, y)))

Strategy:

As we are in the innermost case, we can delete all 5 non-usable-rules.

Dependency Pair:

APP(app(minus, x), app(s, y)) -> APP(app(minus, x), y)

Rule:

none

Strategy:

innermost

We have an applicative DP problem with proper arity. Thus we can use the A-Transformation to obtain one new DP problem which consists of the A-transformed TRSs.

Dependency Pair:

MINUS(x, s(y)) -> MINUS(x, y)

Rule:

none

Strategy:

innermost

We number the DPs as follows:

MINUS(x, s(y)) -> MINUS(x, y)

and get the following Size-Change Graph(s):

{1}	,	{1}
1	=	1
2	>	2

which lead(s) to this/these maximal multigraph(s):

{1}	,	{1}
1	=	1
2	>	2

D_P: empty set
Oriented Rules: none

We used the order Homeomorphic Embedding Order with Non-Strict Precedence.

app(app(minus, x), app(s, y)) -> app(pred, app(app(minus, x), y))

                 ↳Negative Polynomial Order

Dependency Pair:

QUOT(s(x), s(y)) -> QUOT(minus(x, y), s(y))

Rules:

minus(x, 0) -> x
minus(x, s(y)) -> pred(minus(x, y))
pred(s(x)) -> x

Strategy:

innermost

The following Dependency Pair can be strictly oriented using the given order.

QUOT(s(x), s(y)) -> QUOT(minus(x, y), s(y))

Moreover, the following usable rules (regarding the implicit AFS) are oriented.

minus(x, 0) -> x
minus(x, s(y)) -> pred(minus(x, y))
pred(s(x)) -> x

Used ordering:
Polynomial Order with Interpretation:

POL( QUOT(x₁, x₂) ) = x₁

POL( s(x₁) ) = x₁ + 1

POL( minus(x₁, x₂) ) = x₁

POL( pred(x₁) ) = x₁

This results in one new DP problem.
