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:

*(x, 1) → x
*(1, y) → y
*(i(x), x) → 1
*(x, i(x)) → 1
*(x, *(y, z)) → *(*(x, y), z)
i(1) → 1
*(*(x, y), i(y)) → x
*(*(x, i(y)), y) → x
i(i(x)) → x
i(*(x, y)) → *(i(y), i(x))
k(x, 1) → 1
k(x, x) → 1
*(k(x, y), k(y, x)) → 1
*(*(i(x), k(y, z)), x) → k(*(*(i(x), y), x), *(*(i(x), z), x))
k(*(x, i(y)), *(y, i(x))) → 1

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:

i₁ > *₂ > [1, k₂]

Status:

*₂: [2,1]
1: multiset
i₁: [1]
k₂: multiset

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

*(x, 1) → x
*(1, y) → y
*(i(x), x) → 1
*(x, i(x)) → 1
*(x, *(y, z)) → *(*(x, y), z)
i(1) → 1
*(*(x, y), i(y)) → x
*(*(x, i(y)), y) → x
i(i(x)) → x
i(*(x, y)) → *(i(y), i(x))
k(x, 1) → 1
k(x, x) → 1
*(k(x, y), k(y, x)) → 1
*(*(i(x), k(y, z)), x) → k(*(*(i(x), y), x), *(*(i(x), z), x))
k(*(x, i(y)), *(y, i(x))) → 1

(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
