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:

exp(x, 0) → s(0)
exp(x, s(y)) → *(x, exp(x, y))
*(0, y) → 0
*(s(x), y) → +(y, *(x, y))
-(0, y) → 0
-(x, 0) → x
-(s(x), s(y)) → -(x, y)

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Lexicographic Path Order [LPO].
Precedence:

exp₂ > *₂ > [0, s₁, +₂]
-₂ > [0, s₁, +₂]

With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

exp(x, 0) → s(0)
exp(x, s(y)) → *(x, exp(x, y))
*(0, y) → 0
*(s(x), y) → +(y, *(x, y))
-(0, y) → 0
-(x, 0) → x
-(s(x), s(y)) → -(x, y)

(2) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
R is empty.
Q is empty.

(3) RisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS R is empty. Hence, termination is trivially proven.

(4) TRUE
