Term Rewriting System R: [x, u, v, z, y] admit(x, nil) -> nil admit(x, .(u, .(v, .(w, z)))) -> cond(=(sum(x, u, v), w), .(u, .(v, .(w, admit(carry(x, u, v), z))))) cond(true, y) -> y 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: ADMIT(x, .(u, .(v, .(w, z)))) -> COND(=(sum(x, u, v), w), .(u, .(v, .(w, admit(carry(x, u, v), z))))) ADMIT(x, .(u, .(v, .(w, z)))) -> ADMIT(carry(x, u, v), z) Furthermore, R contains one SCC. SCC1: ADMIT(x, .(u, .(v, .(w, z)))) -> ADMIT(carry(x, u, v), z) 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(carry(x_1, x_2, x_3)) = x_1 + x_2 + x_3 POL(w) = 0 POL(ADMIT(x_1, x_2)) = 1 + x_1 + x_2 POL(.(x_1, x_2)) = x_1 + x_2 The following Dependency Pairs can be deleted: ADMIT(x, .(u, .(v, .(w, z)))) -> ADMIT(carry(x, u, v), z) This transformation is resulting in no new subcycles. Termination of R successfully shown. Duration: 0.556 seconds.
