Term Rewriting System R: [X, Y] ackin(s(X), s(Y)) -> u21(ackin(s(X), Y), X) u21(ackout(X), Y) -> u22(ackin(Y, X)) Termination of R to be shown. This program has no overlaps, so it is sufficient to show innermost termination. R contains the following Dependency Pairs: ACKIN(s(X), s(Y)) -> U21(ackin(s(X), Y), X) ACKIN(s(X), s(Y)) -> ACKIN(s(X), Y) U21(ackout(X), Y) -> ACKIN(Y, X) Furthermore, R contains one SCC. SCC1: ACKIN(s(X), s(Y)) -> ACKIN(s(X), Y) Removing rules from R by ordering and analyzing Dependency Pairs, Usable Rules, and Usable Equations. This is possible by using the following (C_E-compatible) Polynomial ordering. Polynomial interpretation: POL(ACKIN(x_1, x_2)) = 1 + x_1 + x_2 POL(s(x_1)) = 1 + x_1 The following Dependency Pairs can be deleted: ACKIN(s(X), s(Y)) -> ACKIN(s(X), Y) This transformation is resulting in no new subcycles. Termination of R successfully shown. Duration: 0.460 seconds.
