Termination w.r.t. Q of the given QTRS could be proven:

(0) Obligation:

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

times(x, plus(y, 1)) → plus(times(x, plus(y, times(1, 0))), x)
times(x, 1) → x
plus(x, 0) → x
times(x, 0) → 0

Q is empty.

(1) Overlay + Local Confluence (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent. By [NOC] we can switch to innermost.

(2) Obligation:

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

times(x, plus(y, 1)) → plus(times(x, plus(y, times(1, 0))), x)
times(x, 1) → x
plus(x, 0) → x
times(x, 0) → 0

The set Q consists of the following terms:

times(x0, plus(x1, 1))
times(x0, 1)
plus(x0, 0)
times(x0, 0)

(3) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(4) Obligation:

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

TIMES(x, plus(y, 1)) → PLUS(times(x, plus(y, times(1, 0))), x)
TIMES(x, plus(y, 1)) → TIMES(x, plus(y, times(1, 0)))
TIMES(x, plus(y, 1)) → PLUS(y, times(1, 0))
TIMES(x, plus(y, 1)) → TIMES(1, 0)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

times(x, plus(y, 1)) → plus(times(x, plus(y, times(1, 0))), x)
times(x, 1) → x
plus(x, 0) → x
times(x, 0) → 0

The set Q consists of the following terms:

times(x0, plus(x1, 1))
times(x0, 1)
plus(x0, 0)
times(x0, 0)

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

(5) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 3 less nodes.

(6) Obligation:

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

TIMES(x, plus(y, 1)) → TIMES(x, plus(y, times(1, 0)))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

times(x, plus(y, 1)) → plus(times(x, plus(y, times(1, 0))), x)
times(x, 1) → x
plus(x, 0) → x
times(x, 0) → 0

The set Q consists of the following terms:

times(x0, plus(x1, 1))
times(x0, 1)
plus(x0, 0)
times(x0, 0)

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

(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

TIMES(x, plus(y, 1)) → TIMES(x, plus(y, times(1, 0)))

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
TIMES(x1, x2)  =  TIMES(x1, x2)
plus(x1, x2)  =  plus(x1, x2)
1  =  1
times(x1, x2)  =  x2
0  =  0

Lexicographic path order with status [LPO].
Precedence:

plus₂ > TIMES₂
plus₂ > 0
1 > TIMES₂
1 > 0

Status:

plus₂: [1,2]
TIMES₂: [1,2]
0: []
1: []

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

times(x, 0) → 0
plus(x, 0) → x

(8) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

times(x, plus(y, 1)) → plus(times(x, plus(y, times(1, 0))), x)
times(x, 1) → x
plus(x, 0) → x
times(x, 0) → 0

The set Q consists of the following terms:

times(x0, plus(x1, 1))
times(x0, 1)
plus(x0, 0)
times(x0, 0)

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

(9) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
