Term Rewriting System R: [x, y, z] a(lambda(x), y) -> lambda(a(x, 1)) a(lambda(x), y) -> lambda(a(x, a(y, t))) a(a(x, y), z) -> a(x, a(y, z)) a(x, y) -> x a(x, y) -> y lambda(x) -> x Termination of R to be shown. Removing the following rules from R which fullfill a polynomial ordering: lambda(x) -> x where the Polynomial interpretation: POL(lambda(x_1)) = 1 + x_1 POL(1) = 0 POL(a(x_1, x_2)) = x_1 + x_2 POL(t) = 0 was used. Not all Rules of R can be deleted, so we still have to regard a part of R. R contains the following Dependency Pairs: A(lambda(x), y) -> A(x, a(y, t)) A(lambda(x), y) -> A(y, t) A(lambda(x), y) -> A(x, 1) A(a(x, y), z) -> A(x, a(y, z)) A(a(x, y), z) -> A(y, z) Furthermore, R contains one SCC. SCC1: A(a(x, y), z) -> A(y, z) A(a(x, y), z) -> A(x, a(y, z)) A(lambda(x), y) -> A(x, 1) A(lambda(x), y) -> A(y, t) A(lambda(x), y) -> A(x, a(y, t)) 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(lambda(x_1)) = 1 + x_1 POL(1) = 0 POL(a(x_1, x_2)) = x_1 + x_2 POL(A(x_1, x_2)) = 1 + x_1 + x_2 POL(t) = 0 The following Dependency Pairs can be deleted: A(lambda(x), y) -> A(x, 1) A(lambda(x), y) -> A(y, t) A(lambda(x), y) -> A(x, a(y, t)) No rules of R can be deleted. This transformation is resulting in one new subcycle: SCC1.MRR1: A(a(x, y), z) -> A(x, a(y, z)) A(a(x, y), z) -> A(y, z) By using a polynomial ordering, at least one Dependency Pair of this SCC can be strictly oriented. No rules need to be oriented. Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation: POL(lambda(x_1)) = 0 POL(1) = 0 POL(a(x_1, x_2)) = 1 + x_1 + x_2 POL(A(x_1, x_2)) = x_1 POL(t) = 0 resulting in no subcycles.
