We consider the system Applicative_first_order_05__#3.45. Alphabet: 0 : [] --> d cons : [d * d] --> d f : [d] --> a false : [] --> c filter : [d -> c * d] --> d filter2 : [c * d -> c * d * d] --> d g : [d] --> d h : [d] --> b map : [d -> d * d] --> d nil : [] --> d s : [d] --> d true : [] --> c Rules: f(s(x)) => f(x) g(cons(0, x)) => g(x) g(cons(s(x), y)) => s(x) h(cons(x, y)) => h(g(cons(x, y))) map(i, nil) => nil map(i, cons(x, y)) => cons(i x, map(i, y)) filter(i, nil) => nil filter(i, cons(x, y)) => filter2(i x, i, x, y) filter2(true, i, x, y) => cons(x, filter(i, y)) filter2(false, i, x, y) => filter(i, y) This AFS is converted to an AFSM simply by replacing all free variables by meta-variables (with arity 0). We use the dependency pair framework as described in [Kop12, Ch. 6/7], with dynamic dependency pairs. After applying [Kop12, Thm. 7.22] to denote collapsing dependency pairs in an extended form, we thus obtain the following dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, minimal, formative): Dependency Pairs P_0: 0] f#(s(X)) =#> f#(X) 1] g#(cons(0, X)) =#> g#(X) 2] h#(cons(X, Y)) =#> h#(g(cons(X, Y))) 3] h#(cons(X, Y)) =#> g#(cons(X, Y)) 4] map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> F(X) 5] map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) 6] filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> filter2#(F X, F, X, Y) 7] filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> F(X) 8] filter2#(true, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) 9] filter2#(false, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) Rules R_0: f(s(X)) => f(X) g(cons(0, X)) => g(X) g(cons(s(X), Y)) => s(X) h(cons(X, Y)) => h(g(cons(X, Y))) map(F, nil) => nil map(F, cons(X, Y)) => cons(F X, map(F, Y)) filter(F, nil) => nil filter(F, cons(X, Y)) => filter2(F X, F, X, Y) filter2(true, F, X, Y) => cons(X, filter(F, Y)) filter2(false, F, X, Y) => filter(F, Y) Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_0, R_0, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, minimal, formative). We place the elements of P in a dependency graph approximation G (see e.g. [Kop12, Thm. 7.27, 7.29], as follows: * 0 : 0 * 1 : 1 * 2 : * 3 : 1 * 4 : 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 * 5 : 4, 5 * 6 : 8, 9 * 7 : 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 * 8 : 6, 7 * 9 : 6, 7 This graph has the following strongly connected components: P_1: f#(s(X)) =#> f#(X) P_2: g#(cons(0, X)) =#> g#(X) P_3: map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> F(X) map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> filter2#(F X, F, X, Y) filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> F(X) filter2#(true, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) filter2#(false, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.31], we may replace any dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, m, f) by (P_1, R_0, m, f), (P_2, R_0, m, f) and (P_3, R_0, m, f). Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative), (P_2, R_0, minimal, formative) and (P_3, R_0, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_3, R_0, minimal, formative). The formative rules of (P_3, R_0) are R_1 ::= map(F, cons(X, Y)) => cons(F X, map(F, Y)) filter(F, cons(X, Y)) => filter2(F X, F, X, Y) filter2(true, F, X, Y) => cons(X, filter(F, Y)) filter2(false, F, X, Y) => filter(F, Y) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.17], we may replace the dependency pair problem (P_3, R_0, minimal, formative) by (P_3, R_1, minimal, formative). Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative), (P_2, R_0, minimal, formative) and (P_3, R_1, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_3, R_1, minimal, formative). We will use the reduction pair processor [Kop12, Thm. 7.16]. As the system is abstraction-simple and the formative flag is set, it suffices to find a tagged reduction pair [Kop12, Def. 6.70]. Thus, we must orient: map#(F, cons(X, Y)) >? F(X) map#(F, cons(X, Y)) >? map#(F, Y) filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) >? filter2#(F X, F, X, Y) filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) >? F(X) filter2#(true, F, X, Y) >? filter#(F, Y) filter2#(false, F, X, Y) >? filter#(F, Y) map(F, cons(X, Y)) >= cons(F X, map(F, Y)) filter(F, cons(X, Y)) >= filter2(F X, F, X, Y) filter2(true, F, X, Y) >= cons(X, filter(F, Y)) filter2(false, F, X, Y) >= filter(F, Y) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: cons = \y0y1.2 + y1 + 2y0 false = 3 filter = \G0y1.y1 + 2y1G0(y1) filter2 = \y0G1y2y3.2 + y3 + 2y2 + 2y3G1(y3) filter2# = \y0G1y2y3.y3 + 2y3G1(y3) + 2G1(y3) filter# = \G0y1.y1 + 2y1G0(y1) + 2G0(y1) map = \G0y1.2y1 + y1G0(y1) map# = \G0y1.3 + 2G0(y1) + y1G0(y1) true = 3 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[map#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 3 + 2x1F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + 4F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + x2F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) > F0(x1) = [[_F0(_x1)]] [[map#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 3 + 2x1F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + 4F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + x2F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) >= 3 + 2F0(x2) + x2F0(x2) = [[map#(_F0, _x2)]] [[filter#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 2 + x2 + 2x1 + 2x2F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + 4x1F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + 6F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) > x2 + 2x2F0(x2) + 2F0(x2) = [[filter2#(_F0 _x1, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] [[filter#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 2 + x2 + 2x1 + 2x2F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + 4x1F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + 6F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) > F0(x1) = [[_F0(_x1)]] [[filter2#(true, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = x2 + 2x2F0(x2) + 2F0(x2) >= x2 + 2x2F0(x2) + 2F0(x2) = [[filter#(_F0, _x2)]] [[filter2#(false, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = x2 + 2x2F0(x2) + 2F0(x2) >= x2 + 2x2F0(x2) + 2F0(x2) = [[filter#(_F0, _x2)]] [[map(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 4 + 2x2 + 4x1 + 2x1F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + 2F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + x2F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) >= 2 + 2x2 + x2F0(x2) + 2max(x1, F0(x1)) = [[cons(_F0 _x1, map(_F0, _x2))]] [[filter(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 2 + x2 + 2x1 + 2x2F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + 4x1F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) + 4F0(2 + x2 + 2x1) >= 2 + x2 + 2x1 + 2x2F0(x2) = [[filter2(_F0 _x1, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] [[filter2(true, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 2 + x2 + 2x1 + 2x2F0(x2) >= 2 + x2 + 2x1 + 2x2F0(x2) = [[cons(_x1, filter(_F0, _x2))]] [[filter2(false, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 2 + x2 + 2x1 + 2x2F0(x2) >= x2 + 2x2F0(x2) = [[filter(_F0, _x2)]] By the observations in [Kop12, Sec. 6.6], this reduction pair suffices; we may thus replace the dependency pair problem (P_3, R_1, minimal, formative) by (P_4, R_1, minimal, formative), where P_4 consists of: map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) filter2#(true, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) filter2#(false, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative), (P_2, R_0, minimal, formative) and (P_4, R_1, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_4, R_1, minimal, formative). We place the elements of P in a dependency graph approximation G (see e.g. [Kop12, Thm. 7.27, 7.29], as follows: * 0 : 0 * 1 : * 2 : This graph has the following strongly connected components: P_5: map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.31], we may replace any dependency pair problem (P_4, R_1, m, f) by (P_5, R_1, m, f). Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative), (P_2, R_0, minimal, formative) and (P_5, R_1, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_5, R_1, minimal, formative). We apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function: nu(map#) = 2 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(map#(F, cons(X, Y))) = cons(X, Y) |> Y = nu(map#(F, Y)) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.35], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_5, R_1, minimal, f) by ({}, R_1, minimal, f). By the empty set processor [Kop12, Thm. 7.15] this problem may be immediately removed. Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative) and (P_2, R_0, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_2, R_0, minimal, formative). We apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function: nu(g#) = 1 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(g#(cons(0, X))) = cons(0, X) |> X = nu(g#(X)) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.35], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_2, R_0, minimal, f) by ({}, R_0, minimal, f). By the empty set processor [Kop12, Thm. 7.15] this problem may be immediately removed. Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative). We apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function: nu(f#) = 1 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(f#(s(X))) = s(X) |> X = nu(f#(X)) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.35], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_1, R_0, minimal, f) by ({}, R_0, minimal, f). By the empty set processor [Kop12, Thm. 7.15] this problem may be immediately removed. As all dependency pair problems were succesfully simplified with sound (and complete) processors until nothing remained, we conclude termination. +++ Citations +++ [Kop12] C. Kop.
