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

p(0) → 0
p(s(X)) → X
leq(0, Y) → true
leq(s(X), 0) → false
leq(s(X), s(Y)) → leq(X, Y)
if(true, X, Y) → X
if(false, X, Y) → Y
diff(X, Y) → if(leq(X, Y), 0, s(diff(p(X), Y)))

Q is empty.

(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:

LEQ(s(X), s(Y)) → LEQ(X, Y)
DIFF(X, Y) → IF(leq(X, Y), 0, s(diff(p(X), Y)))
DIFF(X, Y) → LEQ(X, Y)
DIFF(X, Y) → DIFF(p(X), Y)
DIFF(X, Y) → P(X)

leq(s(X), 0) → false
leq(s(X), s(Y)) → leq(X, Y)

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

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

LEQ(s(X), s(Y)) → LEQ(X, Y)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

p(s(X)) → X
leq(0, Y) → true
leq(s(X), 0) → false
leq(s(X), s(Y)) → leq(X, Y)

(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:

  • LEQ(s(X), s(Y)) → LEQ(X, Y)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 > 2

(7) YES

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

DIFF(X, Y) → DIFF(p(X), Y)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

p(0) → 0
p(s(X)) → X
leq(0, Y) → true
leq(s(X), 0) → false
leq(s(X), s(Y)) → leq(X, Y)
if(true, X, Y) → X
if(false, X, Y) → Y
diff(X, Y) → if(leq(X, Y), 0, s(diff(p(X), Y)))

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 = 0,
σ' = [ ], and μ' = [x1 / p(x1)] on the rule
DIFF(p(x1), x0)[ ]n[ ] → DIFF(p(x1), x0)[ ]n[x1 / p(x1)]
This rule is correct for the QDP as the following derivation shows:

intermediate steps: Equivalent (Simplify mu) - Instantiate mu - Instantiation
DIFF(X, Y)[ ]n[ ] → DIFF(p(X), Y)[ ]n[ ]
    by OriginalRule from TRS P

(10) NO
