Termination w.r.t. Q of the given QTRS could be proven:

(0) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(id, x) → x
app(plus, 0) → id
app(app(plus, app(s, x)), y) → app(s, app(app(plus, x), y))

Q is empty.

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(2) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

APP(app(plus, app(s, x)), y) → APP(s, app(app(plus, x), y))
APP(app(plus, app(s, x)), y) → APP(app(plus, x), y)
APP(app(plus, app(s, x)), y) → APP(plus, x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(id, x) → x
app(plus, 0) → id
app(app(plus, app(s, x)), y) → app(s, app(app(plus, x), y))

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(3) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 2 less nodes.

(4) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

APP(app(plus, app(s, x)), y) → APP(app(plus, x), y)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(id, x) → x
app(plus, 0) → id
app(app(plus, app(s, x)), y) → app(s, app(app(plus, x), y))

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(5) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We used the following order and afs together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] to show that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

Order:Combined order from the following AFS and order.
app(x1, x2)  =  app(x2)
plus  =  plus
0  =  0
id  =  id
s  =  s

Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:

app₁ > [plus, 0, id]

Status:

app₁: multiset
plus: multiset
0: multiset
id: multiset
s: multiset

AFS:
app(x1, x2)  =  app(x2)
plus  =  plus
0  =  0
id  =  id
s  =  s

From the DPs we obtained the following set of size-change graphs:

• APP(app(plus, app(s, x)), y) → APP(app(plus, x), y) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1, 2})
  The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 >= 2

We oriented the following set of usable rules [AAECC05,FROCOS05].

app(plus, 0) → id

(6) TRUE
