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