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

ackin(s(X), s(Y)) → u21(ackin(s(X), Y), X)
u21(ackout(X), Y) → u22(ackin(Y, X))

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:

ackin(s(X), s(Y)) → u21(ackin(s(X), Y), X)
u21(ackout(X), Y) → u22(ackin(Y, X))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

ackin(s(x0), s(x1))
u21(ackout(x0), x1)

(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:

ACKIN(s(X), s(Y)) → U21(ackin(s(X), Y), X)
ACKIN(s(X), s(Y)) → ACKIN(s(X), Y)
U21(ackout(X), Y) → ACKIN(Y, X)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

ackin(s(X), s(Y)) → u21(ackin(s(X), Y), X)
u21(ackout(X), Y) → u22(ackin(Y, X))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

ackin(s(x0), s(x1))
u21(ackout(x0), x1)

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 2 less nodes.

(6) Obligation:

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

ACKIN(s(X), s(Y)) → ACKIN(s(X), Y)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

ackin(s(X), s(Y)) → u21(ackin(s(X), Y), X)
u21(ackout(X), Y) → u22(ackin(Y, X))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

ackin(s(x0), s(x1))
u21(ackout(x0), x1)

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

(7) UsableRulesProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

As all Q-normal forms are R-normal forms we are in the innermost case. Hence, by the usable rules processor [LPAR04] we can delete all non-usable rules [FROCOS05] from R.

(8) Obligation:

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

ACKIN(s(X), s(Y)) → ACKIN(s(X), Y)

R is empty.
The set Q consists of the following terms:

ackin(s(x0), s(x1))
u21(ackout(x0), x1)

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

(9) QReductionProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We deleted the following terms from Q as each root-symbol of these terms does neither occur in P nor in R.[THIEMANN].

ackin(s(x0), s(x1))
u21(ackout(x0), x1)

(10) Obligation:

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

ACKIN(s(X), s(Y)) → ACKIN(s(X), Y)

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

(11) 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:

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

(12) TRUE
