Consider the TRS R consisting of the rewrite rules 1: 0(#) -> # 2: x + # -> x 3: # + x -> x 4: 0(x) + 0(y) -> 0(x + y) 5: 0(x) + 1(y) -> 1(x + y) 6: 1(x) + 0(y) -> 1(x + y) 7: 1(x) + 1(y) -> 0((x + y) + 1(#)) 8: # * x -> # 9: 0(x) * y -> 0(x * y) 10: 1(x) * y -> 0(x * y) + y 11: sum(nil) -> 0(#) 12: sum(cons(x,l)) -> x + sum(l) 13: prod(nil) -> 1(#) 14: prod(cons(x,l)) -> x * prod(l) There are 17 dependency pairs: 15: 0(x) +# 0(y) -> 0#(x + y) 16: 0(x) +# 0(y) -> x +# y 17: 0(x) +# 1(y) -> x +# y 18: 1(x) +# 0(y) -> x +# y 19: 1(x) +# 1(y) -> 0#((x + y) + 1(#)) 20: 1(x) +# 1(y) -> (x + y) +# 1(#) 21: 1(x) +# 1(y) -> x +# y 22: 0(x) *# y -> 0#(x * y) 23: 0(x) *# y -> x *# y 24: 1(x) *# y -> 0(x * y) +# y 25: 1(x) *# y -> 0#(x * y) 26: 1(x) *# y -> x *# y 27: SUM(nil) -> 0#(#) 28: SUM(cons(x,l)) -> x +# sum(l) 29: SUM(cons(x,l)) -> SUM(l) 30: PROD(cons(x,l)) -> x *# prod(l) 31: PROD(cons(x,l)) -> PROD(l) The approximated dependency graph contains 4 SCCs: {16-18,20,21}, {23,26}, {31} and {29}. - Consider the SCC {16-18,20,21}. The usable rules are {1-7}. By taking the polynomial interpretation [#] = 0, [0](x) = x, [1](x) = x + 1 and [+](x,y) = [+#](x,y) = x + y + 1, the rules in {1,4-7,16,20} are weakly decreasing and the rules in {2,3,17,18,21} are strictly decreasing. There are 2 new SCCs. - Consider the SCC {20}. By taking the polynomial interpretation [#] = 0, [0](x) = [1](x) = x + 1, [+](x,y) = x + y and [+#](x,y) = x + y + 1, the rules in {2,3,7} are weakly decreasing and the rules in {1,4-6,20} are strictly decreasing. - Consider the SCC {16}. There are no usable rules. By taking the polynomial interpretation [0](x) = x + 1 and [+#](x,y) = x + y + 1, rule 16 is strictly decreasing. - Consider the SCC {23,26}. There are no usable rules. By taking the polynomial interpretation [0](x) = [1](x) = x + 1 and [*#](x,y) = x + y + 1, the rules in {23,26} are strictly decreasing. - Consider the SCC {31}. There are no usable rules. By taking the polynomial interpretation [PROD](x) = x + 1 and [cons](x,y) = x + y + 1, rule 31 is strictly decreasing. - Consider the SCC {29}. There are no usable rules. By taking the polynomial interpretation [SUM](x) = x + 1 and [cons](x,y) = x + y + 1, rule 29 is strictly decreasing. Hence the TRS is terminating.
