We consider the system AotoYamada_05__028.

  Alphabet:

    cons : [a * c] --> c 
    consif : [b * a * c] --> c 
    false : [] --> b 
    filter : [a -> b * c] --> c 
    nil : [] --> c 
    true : [] --> b 

  Rules:

    consif(true, x, y) => cons(x, y) 
    consif(false, x, y) => y 
    filter(f, nil) => nil 
    filter(f, cons(x, y)) => consif(f x, x, filter(f, 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 static dependency pairs (see [KusIsoSakBla09] and the adaptation for AFSMs and accessible arguments in [Kop13]).

We thus obtain the following dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, static, formative):

  Dependency Pairs P_0:

    0] filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> consif#(F X, X, filter(F, Y))   
    1] filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> filter#(F, Y)   

  Rules R_0:

    consif(true, X, Y) => cons(X, Y) 
    consif(false, X, Y) => Y 
    filter(F, nil) => nil 
    filter(F, cons(X, Y)) => consif(F X, X, filter(F, Y)) 

Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_0, R_0, static, formative) is finite.

We consider the dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, static, formative).

We apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function:

  nu(consif#) = 2 
  nu(filter#) = 2 

Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows:

  nu(filter#(F, cons(X, Y))) = cons(X, Y) |> X = nu(consif#(F X, X, filter(F, Y))) 
  nu(filter#(F, cons(X, Y))) = cons(X, Y) |> Y = nu(filter#(F, Y)) 

By [Kop12, Thm. 7.35] and [Kop13, Thm. 5], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, static, f) by ({}, R_0, static, 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.
