We consider the system AotoYamada_05__011. Alphabet: 0 : [] --> b cons : [b * a] --> a curry : [b -> b -> b * b] --> b -> b inc : [] --> a -> a map : [b -> b] --> a -> a nil : [] --> a plus : [] --> b -> b -> b s : [b] --> b Rules: plus 0 x => x plus s(x) y => s(plus x y) map(f) nil => nil map(f) cons(x, y) => cons(f x, map(f) y) curry(f, x) y => f x y inc => map(curry(plus, s(0))) 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] plus s(X) Y =#> plus X Y 1] plus s(X) Y =#> plus X 2] plus s(X) Y =#> plus# 3] map(F) cons(X, Y) =#> F(X) 4] map(F) cons(X, Y) =#> map(F) Y 5] map(F) cons(X, Y) =#> map#(F) 6] curry(F, X) Y =#> F(X, Y) 7] inc X =#> map(curry(plus, s(0))) X 8] inc# =#> map#(curry(plus, s(0))) 9] inc# =#> curry#(plus, s(0)) 10] inc# =#> plus# Rules R_0: plus 0 X => X plus s(X) Y => s(plus X Y) map(F) nil => nil map(F) cons(X, Y) => cons(F X, map(F) Y) curry(F, X) Y => F X Y inc => map(curry(plus, s(0))) 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, 2 * 1 : * 2 : * 3 : 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 * 4 : 3, 4, 5 * 5 : * 6 : 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 * 7 : 3, 4, 5 * 8 : * 9 : * 10 : This graph has the following strongly connected components: P_1: plus s(X) Y =#> plus X Y P_2: map(F) cons(X, Y) =#> F(X) map(F) cons(X, Y) =#> map(F) Y curry(F, X) Y =#> F(X, Y) inc X =#> map(curry(plus, s(0))) X 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) and (P_2, R_0, m, f). 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). The formative rules of (P_2, R_0) are R_1 ::= map(F) cons(X, Y) => cons(F X, map(F) Y) inc X => map(curry(plus, s(0))) X By [Kop12, Thm. 7.17], we may replace the dependency pair problem (P_2, R_0, minimal, formative) by (P_2, R_1, minimal, formative). Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative) and (P_2, R_1, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_2, 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) curry(F, X) Y >? F(X, Y) inc(X) >? map(curry(plus, s(0)), X) map(F, cons(X, Y)) >= cons(F X, map(F, Y)) inc(X) >= map(curry(plus, s(0)), X) We apply [Kop12, Thm. 6.75] and use the following argument functions: pi( curry(F, X) ) = #argfun-curry#(/\x.F X x) pi( inc(X) ) = #argfun-inc#(map(#argfun-curry#(/\x.plus s(0) x), X), map(#argfun-curry#(/\y.plus s(0) y), X)) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: #argfun-curry# = \G0y1.3 + G0(y1) #argfun-inc# = \y0y1.3 + max(y0, y1) 0 = 0 cons = \y0y1.1 + y0 + y1 curry = \G0y1y2.0 inc = \y0.0 map = \G0y1.y1 + y1G0(y1) plus = \y0y1.0 s = \y0.0 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[map(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 1 + x1 + x2 + F0(1 + x1 + x2) + x1F0(1 + x1 + x2) + x2F0(1 + x1 + x2) > F0(x1) = [[_F0(_x1)]] [[map(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 1 + x1 + x2 + F0(1 + x1 + x2) + x1F0(1 + x1 + x2) + x2F0(1 + x1 + x2) > x2 + x2F0(x2) = [[map(_F0, _x2)]] [[#argfun-curry#(/\x._F0 _x1 x) _x2]] = max(x2, 3 + max(x1, x2, F0(x1,x2))) >= F0(x1,x2) = [[_F0(_x1, _x2)]] [[#argfun-inc#(map(#argfun-curry#(/\x.plus s(0) x), _x0), map(#argfun-curry#(/\y.plus s(0) y), _x0))]] = 3 + 4x0 + x0x0 > 4x0 + x0x0 = [[map(#argfun-curry#(/\x.plus s(0) x), _x0)]] [[map(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 1 + x1 + x2 + F0(1 + x1 + x2) + x1F0(1 + x1 + x2) + x2F0(1 + x1 + x2) >= 1 + x2 + x2F0(x2) + max(x1, F0(x1)) = [[cons(_F0 _x1, map(_F0, _x2))]] [[#argfun-inc#(map(#argfun-curry#(/\x.plus s(0) x), _x0), map(#argfun-curry#(/\y.plus s(0) y), _x0))]] = 3 + 4x0 + x0x0 >= 4x0 + x0x0 = [[map(#argfun-curry#(/\x.plus s(0) x), _x0)]] By the observations in [Kop12, Sec. 6.6], this reduction pair suffices; we may thus replace the dependency pair problem (P_2, R_1, minimal, formative) by (P_3, R_1, minimal, formative), where P_3 consists of: curry(F, X) Y =#> F(X, Y) Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, 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). This combination (P_3, R_1) has no formative rules! We will name the empty set of rules:R_2. By [Kop12, Thm. 7.17], we may replace the dependency pair problem (P_3, R_1, minimal, formative) by (P_3, R_2, minimal, formative). Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, minimal, formative) and (P_3, R_2, minimal, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_3, R_2, 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: curry(F, X, Y) >? F(X, Y) We apply [Kop12, Thm. 6.75] and use the following argument functions: pi( curry(F, X, Y) ) = #argfun-curry#(F X Y) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: #argfun-curry# = \y0.1 + y0 curry = \G0y1y2.0 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[#argfun-curry#(_F0 _x1 _x2)]] = 1 + max(x1, x2, F0(x1,x2)) > F0(x1,x2) = [[_F0(_x1, _x2)]] By the observations in [Kop12, Sec. 6.6], this reduction pair suffices; we may thus replace a dependency pair problem (P_3, R_2) by ({}, R_2). 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(plus) = 1 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(plus s(X) Y) = s(X) |> X = nu(plus X Y) 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.
