Consider the TRS R consisting of the rewrite rules 1: div(0,y) -> 0 2: div(x,y) -> quot(x,y,y) 3: quot(0,s(y),z) -> 0 4: quot(s(x),s(y),z) -> quot(x,y,z) 5: quot(x,0,s(z)) -> s(div(x,s(z))) There are 3 dependency pairs: 6: DIV(x,y) -> QUOT(x,y,y) 7: QUOT(s(x),s(y),z) -> QUOT(x,y,z) 8: QUOT(x,0,s(z)) -> DIV(x,s(z)) The approximated dependency graph contains one SCC: {6-8}. - Consider the SCC {6-8}. There are no usable rules. By taking the polynomial interpretation [0] = 1, [s](x) = x + 1, [DIV](x,y) = x + y + 1 and [QUOT](x,y,z) = x + z + 1, the rules in {6,8} are weakly decreasing and rule 7 is strictly decreasing. There is one new SCC. - Consider the SCC {6,8}. By taking the polynomial interpretation [s](x) = 0, [0] = 1 and [DIV](x,y) = [QUOT](x,y,z) = x + y + 1, rule 6 is weakly decreasing and rule 8 is strictly decreasing. Hence the TRS is terminating.
