(21) NonInfProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The DP Problem is simplified using the Induction Calculus [NONINF] with the following steps:
Note that final constraints are written in bold face.


For Pair INT(x, y) → IF(le(x, y), x, y) the following chains were created:
  • We consider the chain IF(true, x, y) → INT(s(x), y), INT(x, y) → IF(le(x, y), x, y) which results in the following constraint:

    (1)    (INT(s(x2), x3)=INT(x4, x5) ⇒ INT(x4, x5)≥IF(le(x4, x5), x4, x5))



    We simplified constraint (1) using rules (I), (II), (III) which results in the following new constraint:

    (2)    (INT(s(x2), x3)≥IF(le(s(x2), x3), s(x2), x3))







For Pair IF(true, x, y) → INT(s(x), y) the following chains were created:
  • We consider the chain INT(x, y) → IF(le(x, y), x, y), IF(true, x, y) → INT(s(x), y) which results in the following constraint:

    (3)    (IF(le(x6, x7), x6, x7)=IF(true, x8, x9) ⇒ IF(true, x8, x9)≥INT(s(x8), x9))



    We simplified constraint (3) using rules (I), (II), (III) which results in the following new constraint:

    (4)    (le(x6, x7)=true ⇒ IF(true, x6, x7)≥INT(s(x6), x7))



    We simplified constraint (4) using rule (V) (with possible (I) afterwards) using induction on le(x6, x7)=true which results in the following new constraints:

    (5)    (true=true ⇒ IF(true, 0, x12)≥INT(s(0), x12))


    (6)    (le(x15, x14)=true∧(le(x15, x14)=true ⇒ IF(true, x15, x14)≥INT(s(x15), x14)) ⇒ IF(true, s(x15), s(x14))≥INT(s(s(x15)), s(x14)))



    We simplified constraint (5) using rules (I), (II) which results in the following new constraint:

    (7)    (IF(true, 0, x12)≥INT(s(0), x12))



    We simplified constraint (6) using rule (VI) where we applied the induction hypothesis (le(x15, x14)=true ⇒ IF(true, x15, x14)≥INT(s(x15), x14)) with σ = [ ] which results in the following new constraint:

    (8)    (IF(true, x15, x14)≥INT(s(x15), x14) ⇒ IF(true, s(x15), s(x14))≥INT(s(s(x15)), s(x14)))







To summarize, we get the following constraints P≥ for the following pairs.
  • INT(x, y) → IF(le(x, y), x, y)
    • (INT(s(x2), x3)≥IF(le(s(x2), x3), s(x2), x3))

  • IF(true, x, y) → INT(s(x), y)
    • (IF(true, 0, x12)≥INT(s(0), x12))
    • (IF(true, x15, x14)≥INT(s(x15), x14) ⇒ IF(true, s(x15), s(x14))≥INT(s(s(x15)), s(x14)))




The constraints for P> respective Pbound are constructed from P≥ where we just replace every occurence of "t ≥ s" in P≥ by "t > s" respective "t ≥ c". Here c stands for the fresh constant used for Pbound.
Using the following integer polynomial ordering the resulting constraints can be solved
Polynomial interpretation [NONINF]:

POL(0) = 0   
POL(IF(x1, x2, x3)) = -1 - x1 - x2 + x3   
POL(INT(x1, x2)) = -1 - x1 + x2   
POL(c) = -2   
POL(false) = 1   
POL(le(x1, x2)) = 1   
POL(s(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(true) = 1   

The following pairs are in P>:

INT(x, y) → IF(le(x, y), x, y)
The following pairs are in Pbound:

IF(true, x, y) → INT(s(x), y)
The following rules are usable:
