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:

and(tt, X) → activate(X)
plus(N, 0) → N
plus(N, s(M)) → s(plus(N, M))
activate(X) → 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:

and(tt, X) → activate(X)
plus(N, 0) → N
plus(N, s(M)) → s(plus(N, M))
activate(X) → X

The set Q consists of the following terms:

and(tt, x0)
plus(x0, 0)
plus(x0, s(x1))
activate(x0)

(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:

AND(tt, X) → ACTIVATE(X)
PLUS(N, s(M)) → PLUS(N, M)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

and(tt, X) → activate(X)
plus(N, 0) → N
plus(N, s(M)) → s(plus(N, M))
activate(X) → X

The set Q consists of the following terms:

and(tt, x0)
plus(x0, 0)
plus(x0, s(x1))
activate(x0)

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 1 less node.

(6) Obligation:

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

PLUS(N, s(M)) → PLUS(N, M)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

and(tt, X) → activate(X)
plus(N, 0) → N
plus(N, s(M)) → s(plus(N, M))
activate(X) → X

The set Q consists of the following terms:

and(tt, x0)
plus(x0, 0)
plus(x0, s(x1))
activate(x0)

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

(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

PLUS(N, s(M)) → PLUS(N, M)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Precedence:

s₁ > PLUS₂

Status:

PLUS₂: [1,2]
s₁: multiset

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented: none

(8) Obligation:

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

and(tt, X) → activate(X)
plus(N, 0) → N
plus(N, s(M)) → s(plus(N, M))
activate(X) → X

The set Q consists of the following terms:

and(tt, x0)
plus(x0, 0)
plus(x0, s(x1))
activate(x0)

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

(9) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(10) TRUE
