Term Rewriting System R:
[y, x]
ack(0, y) -> s(y)
ack(s(x), 0) -> ack(x, s(0))
ack(s(x), s(y)) -> ack(x, ack(s(x), y))

Innermost Termination of R to be shown.



   R
Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

ACK(s(x), 0) -> ACK(x, s(0))
ACK(s(x), s(y)) -> ACK(x, ack(s(x), y))
ACK(s(x), s(y)) -> ACK(s(x), y)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

ACK(s(x), s(y)) -> ACK(s(x), y)
ACK(s(x), s(y)) -> ACK(x, ack(s(x), y))
ACK(s(x), 0) -> ACK(x, s(0))


Rules:


ack(0, y) -> s(y)
ack(s(x), 0) -> ack(x, s(0))
ack(s(x), s(y)) -> ack(x, ack(s(x), y))


Strategy:

innermost




On this DP problem, a Narrowing SCC transformation can be performed.
As a result of transforming the rule

ACK(s(x), s(y)) -> ACK(x, ack(s(x), y))
two new Dependency Pairs are created:

ACK(s(x''), s(0)) -> ACK(x'', ack(x'', s(0)))
ACK(s(x''), s(s(y''))) -> ACK(x'', ack(x'', ack(s(x''), y'')))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

       →DP Problem 1
Nar
           →DP Problem 2
Remaining Obligation(s)




The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pairs:

ACK(s(x''), s(s(y''))) -> ACK(x'', ack(x'', ack(s(x''), y'')))
ACK(s(x''), s(0)) -> ACK(x'', ack(x'', s(0)))
ACK(s(x), 0) -> ACK(x, s(0))
ACK(s(x), s(y)) -> ACK(s(x), y)


Rules:


ack(0, y) -> s(y)
ack(s(x), 0) -> ack(x, s(0))
ack(s(x), s(y)) -> ack(x, ack(s(x), y))


Strategy:

innermost
