The following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [15] because they are oriented strictly by a polynomial ordering:

bits(0) → 0
Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [25]:

POL(0) = 0   
POL(bits(x1)) = 2 + x1   
POL(half(x1)) = x1   
POL(s(x1)) = x1

Using Dependency Pairs [1,15] we result in the following initial DP problem:

bits(s(x0))

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

Termination of the TRS R could be shown with a Match Bound [6,7] of 1. This implies Q-termination of R.
The following rules were used to construct the certificate:

0'(half(x)) → 0'(x)
0'(s(half(x))) → 0'(x)
s(s(half(x))) → half(s(x))
0'(bits(x)) → 0'(x)
s(bits(x)) → s(half(bits(s(x))))

The certificate found is represented by the following graph.

The certificate consists of the following enumerated nodes:

121, 122, 123, 126, 124, 125, 127, 130, 128, 129

Node 121 is start node and node 122 is final node.

Those nodes are connect through the following edges:
