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:

app(app(app(compose, f), g), x) → app(f, app(g, x))

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

compose > app₂

Status:

compose: multiset
app₂: [1,2]

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

app(app(app(compose, f), g), x) → app(f, app(g, x))

(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
