Consider the TRS R consisting of the rewrite rules 1: 0 - y -> 0 2: x - 0 -> x 3: x - s(y) -> if(greater(x,s(y)),s(x - p(s(y))),0) 4: p(0) -> 0 5: p(s(x)) -> x There are 2 dependency pairs: 6: x -# s(y) -> x -# p(s(y)) 7: x -# s(y) -> P(s(y)) The approximated dependency graph contains one SCC: {6}. - Consider the SCC {6}. The usable rules are {4,5}. By taking the polynomial interpretation [0] = 0, [s](x) = x + 1, [p](x) = x - 1 and [-#](x,y) = y, we obtain a quasi-model of the usable rules. Furthermore, dependency pair 6 is strictly decreasing. Hence the TRS is terminating.
