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, +(y, z)) → +(*(x, y), *(x, z))
*(+(x, y), z) → +(*(x, z), *(y, z))
*(x, 1) → x
*(1, y) → y

Q is empty.

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(2) Obligation:

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

*¹(x, +(y, z)) → *¹(x, y)
*¹(x, +(y, z)) → *¹(x, z)
*¹(+(x, y), z) → *¹(x, z)
*¹(+(x, y), z) → *¹(y, z)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

*(x, +(y, z)) → +(*(x, y), *(x, z))
*(+(x, y), z) → +(*(x, z), *(y, z))
*(x, 1) → x
*(1, y) → y

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

(3) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

*¹(x, +(y, z)) → *¹(x, y)
*¹(x, +(y, z)) → *¹(x, z)
*¹(+(x, y), z) → *¹(x, z)
*¹(+(x, y), z) → *¹(y, z)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Lexicographic path order with status [LPO].
Quasi-Precedence:

*^1₂ > +₂
*₂ > +₂
1 > +₂

Status:

*^1₂: [2,1]
+₂: [2,1]
*₂: [2,1]
1: []

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

*(x, +(y, z)) → +(*(x, y), *(x, z))
*(+(x, y), z) → +(*(x, z), *(y, z))
*(x, 1) → x
*(1, y) → y

(4) Obligation:

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

*(x, +(y, z)) → +(*(x, y), *(x, z))
*(+(x, y), z) → +(*(x, z), *(y, z))
*(x, 1) → x
*(1, y) → y

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

(5) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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