Consider the TRS R consisting of the rewrite rules 1: f(x,0) -> s(0) 2: f(s(x),s(y)) -> s(f(x,y)) 3: g(0,x) -> g(f(x,x),x) There are 3 dependency pairs: 4: F(s(x),s(y)) -> F(x,y) 5: G(0,x) -> G(f(x,x),x) 6: G(0,x) -> F(x,x) The approximated dependency graph contains 2 SCCs: {4} and {5}. - Consider the SCC {4}. There are no usable rules. By taking the polynomial interpretation [s](x) = x + 1 and [F](x,y) = x + y + 1, rule 4 is strictly decreasing. - Consider the SCC {5}. The usable rules are {1,2}. By taking the polynomial interpretation [f](x,y) = [s](x) = 0, [0] = 1 and [G](x,y) = x + y + 1, the rules in {1,2} are weakly decreasing and rule 5 is strictly decreasing. Hence the TRS is terminating.
