Consider the TRS R consisting of the rewrite rules 1: p1 + p1 -> p2 2: p1 + (p2 + p2) -> p5 3: p5 + p5 -> p10 4: (x + y) + z -> x + (y + z) 5: p1 + (p1 + x) -> p2 + x 6: p1 + (p2 + (p2 + x)) -> p5 + x 7: p2 + p1 -> p1 + p2 8: p2 + (p1 + x) -> p1 + (p2 + x) 9: p2 + (p2 + p2) -> p1 + p5 10: p2 + (p2 + (p2 + x)) -> p1 + (p5 + x) 11: p5 + p1 -> p1 + p5 12: p5 + (p1 + x) -> p1 + (p5 + x) 13: p5 + p2 -> p2 + p5 14: p5 + (p2 + x) -> p2 + (p5 + x) 15: p5 + (p5 + x) -> p10 + x 16: p10 + p1 -> p1 + p10 17: p10 + (p1 + x) -> p1 + (p10 + x) 18: p10 + p2 -> p2 + p10 19: p10 + (p2 + x) -> p2 + (p10 + x) 20: p10 + p5 -> p5 + p10 21: p10 + (p5 + x) -> p5 + (p10 + x) There are 26 dependency pairs: 22: (x + y) +# z -> x +# (y + z) 23: (x + y) +# z -> y +# z 24: p1 +# (p1 + x) -> p2 +# x 25: p1 +# (p2 + (p2 + x)) -> p5 +# x 26: p2 +# p1 -> p1 +# p2 27: p2 +# (p1 + x) -> p1 +# (p2 + x) 28: p2 +# (p1 + x) -> p2 +# x 29: p2 +# (p2 + p2) -> p1 +# p5 30: p2 +# (p2 + (p2 + x)) -> p1 +# (p5 + x) 31: p2 +# (p2 + (p2 + x)) -> p5 +# x 32: p5 +# p1 -> p1 +# p5 33: p5 +# (p1 + x) -> p1 +# (p5 + x) 34: p5 +# (p1 + x) -> p5 +# x 35: p5 +# p2 -> p2 +# p5 36: p5 +# (p2 + x) -> p2 +# (p5 + x) 37: p5 +# (p2 + x) -> p5 +# x 38: p5 +# (p5 + x) -> p10 +# x 39: p10 +# p1 -> p1 +# p10 40: p10 +# (p1 + x) -> p1 +# (p10 + x) 41: p10 +# (p1 + x) -> p10 +# x 42: p10 +# p2 -> p2 +# p10 43: p10 +# (p2 + x) -> p2 +# (p10 + x) 44: p10 +# (p2 + x) -> p10 +# x 45: p10 +# p5 -> p5 +# p10 46: p10 +# (p5 + x) -> p5 +# (p10 + x) 47: p10 +# (p5 + x) -> p10 +# x The approximated dependency graph contains 2 SCCs: {24,25,27,28,30,31,33,34,36-38,40,41,43,44,46,47} and {22}. - Consider the SCC {24,25,27,28,30,31,33,34,36-38,40,41,43,44,46,47}. By taking the polynomial interpretation [p1] = [p10] = [p2] = [p5] = [y] = [z] = 1 and [+](x,y) = [+#](x,y) = x + y + 1, the rules in {4,7,8,11-14,16-21,27,33,36,40,43,46} are weakly decreasing and the rules in {1-3,5,6,9,10,15,24,25,28,30,31,34,37,38,41,44,47} are strictly decreasing. - Consider the SCC {22}. By taking the polynomial interpretation [p1] = [p10] = [p2] = [p5] = [y] = [z] = 1, [+#](x,y) = x + 1 and [+](x,y) = x + y + 1, the rules in {4,7,8,11-14,16-21} are weakly decreasing and the rules in {1-3,5,6,9,10,15,22} are strictly decreasing. Hence the TRS is terminating.
