Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

while(true, x, y) → while(lt(x, y), s(x), s(y))
lt(s(x), s(y)) → lt(x, y)
lt(0, y) → true

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(2) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

WHILE(true, x, y) → WHILE(lt(x, y), s(x), s(y))
WHILE(true, x, y) → LT(x, y)
LT(s(x), s(y)) → LT(x, y)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

while(true, x, y) → while(lt(x, y), s(x), s(y))
lt(s(x), s(y)) → lt(x, y)
lt(0, y) → true

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

LT(s(x), s(y)) → LT(x, y)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

(6) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the subterm criterion [SUBTERM_CRITERION] together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] we have proven that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

From the DPs we obtained the following set of size-change graphs:

  • LT(s(x), s(y)) → LT(x, y)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 > 2

(7) YES

WHILE(true, x, y) → WHILE(lt(x, y), s(x), s(y))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

while(true, x, y) → while(lt(x, y), s(x), s(y))
lt(s(x), s(y)) → lt(x, y)
lt(0, y) → true

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(9) NonLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By Theorem 8 [NONLOOP] we deduce infiniteness of the QDP.
We apply the theorem with m = 1, b = 1,
σ' = [ ], and μ' = [ ] on the rule
WHILE(true, s(zr0), s(zr1))[zr0 / s(zr0), zr1 / s(zr1)]n[zr0 / 0] → WHILE(true, s(s(zr0)), s(s(zr1)))[zr0 / s(zr0), zr1 / s(zr1)]n[zr0 / 0]
This rule is correct for the QDP as the following derivation shows:

WHILE(true, s(zl2), s(zl3))[zl2 / s(zl2), zl3 / s(zl3), zr2 / s(zr2), zr3 / s(zr3)]n[zl2 / 0, zl3 / x0, zr2 / 0, zr3 / x0] → WHILE(true, s(s(zr2)), s(s(zr3)))[zl2 / s(zl2), zl3 / s(zl3), zr2 / s(zr2), zr3 / s(zr3)]n[zl2 / 0, zl3 / x0, zr2 / 0, zr3 / x0]
