Left Termination proof of /tmp/tmpW88S2d/NJ3.pl

Left Termination of the query pattern ackerman_in_3(g, g, a) w.r.t. the given Prolog program could successfully be proven:

↳ Prolog

  ↳ PrologToPiTRSProof

Clauses:

ackerman(0, N, s(N)).
ackerman(s(M), 0, Res) :- ackerman(M, s(0), Res).
ackerman(s(M), s(N), Res) :- ','(ackerman(s(M), N, Res1), ackerman(M, Res1, Res)).

Queries:

ackerman(g,g,a).

We use the technique of [30]. With regard to the inferred argument filtering the predicates were used in the following modes:
ackerman_in: (b,b,f)
