Consider the TRS R consisting of the rewrite rules 1: minus(x,0) -> x 2: minus(s(x),s(y)) -> minus(x,y) 3: quot(0,s(y)) -> 0 4: quot(s(x),s(y)) -> s(quot(minus(x,y),s(y))) There are 3 dependency pairs: 5: MINUS(s(x),s(y)) -> MINUS(x,y) 6: QUOT(s(x),s(y)) -> QUOT(minus(x,y),s(y)) 7: QUOT(s(x),s(y)) -> MINUS(x,y) The approximated dependency graph contains 2 SCCs: {5} and {6}. - Consider the SCC {5}. There are no usable rules. By taking the polynomial interpretation [s](x) = x + 1 and [MINUS](x,y) = x + y + 1, rule 5 is strictly decreasing. - Consider the SCC {6}. The usable rules are {1,2}. By taking the polynomial interpretation [0] = 1, [minus](x,y) = x, [s](x) = x + 1 and [QUOT](x,y) = x + y + 1, rule 1 is weakly decreasing and the rules in {2,6} are strictly decreasing. Hence the TRS is terminating.
