We consider the system Applicative_first_order_05__06. Alphabet: cons : [c * d] --> d f : [a] --> a false : [] --> b filter : [c -> b * d] --> d filter2 : [b * c -> b * c * d] --> d g : [a] --> a map : [c -> c * d] --> d nil : [] --> d true : [] --> b Rules: f(g(x)) => g(g(f(x))) f(g(x)) => g(g(g(x))) map(h, nil) => nil map(h, cons(x, y)) => cons(h x, map(h, y)) filter(h, nil) => nil filter(h, cons(x, y)) => filter2(h x, h, x, y) filter2(true, h, x, y) => cons(x, filter(h, y)) filter2(false, h, x, y) => filter(h, 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] f#(g(X)) =#> f#(X) 1] map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) 2] filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> filter2#(F X, F, X, Y) 3] filter2#(true, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) 4] filter2#(false, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) Rules R_0: f(g(X)) => g(g(f(X))) f(g(X)) => g(g(g(X))) 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, static, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, static, formative). We will use the reduction pair processor [Kop12, Thm. 7.16]. It suffices to find a standard reduction pair [Kop12, Def. 6.69]. Thus, we must orient: f#(g(X)) >? f#(X) map#(F, cons(X, Y)) >? map#(F, Y) filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) >? filter2#(F X, F, X, Y) filter2#(true, F, X, Y) >? filter#(F, Y) filter2#(false, F, X, Y) >? filter#(F, Y) f(g(X)) >= g(g(f(X))) f(g(X)) >= g(g(g(X))) 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) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: cons = \y0y1.0 f = \y0.3 + 2y0 f# = \y0.y0 false = 3 filter = \G0y1.0 filter2 = \y0G1y2y3.0 filter2# = \y0G1y2y3.0 filter# = \G0y1.0 g = \y0.1 + y0 map = \G0y1.2G0(0) + 3G0(y1) map# = \G0y1.0 nil = 0 true = 3 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[f#(g(_x0))]] = 1 + x0 > x0 = [[f#(_x0)]] [[map#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 0 >= 0 = [[map#(_F0, _x2)]] [[filter#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 0 >= 0 = [[filter2#(_F0 _x1, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] [[filter2#(true, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[filter#(_F0, _x2)]] [[filter2#(false, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[filter#(_F0, _x2)]] [[f(g(_x0))]] = 5 + 2x0 >= 5 + 2x0 = [[g(g(f(_x0)))]] [[f(g(_x0))]] = 5 + 2x0 >= 3 + x0 = [[g(g(g(_x0)))]] [[map(_F0, nil)]] = 5F0(0) >= 0 = [[nil]] [[map(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 5F0(0) >= 0 = [[cons(_F0 _x1, map(_F0, _x2))]] [[filter(_F0, nil)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[nil]] [[filter(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 0 >= 0 = [[filter2(_F0 _x1, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] [[filter2(true, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[cons(_x1, filter(_F0, _x2))]] [[filter2(false, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[filter(_F0, _x2)]] By the observations in [Kop12, Sec. 6.6], this reduction pair suffices; we may thus replace the dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, static, formative) by (P_1, R_0, static, formative), where P_1 consists of: map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> filter2#(F X, F, X, Y) filter2#(true, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) filter2#(false, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_1, R_0, static, formative) is finite.

As all dependency pair problems were succesfully simplified with sound (and complete) processors until nothing remained, we conclude termination. +++ Citations +++ [Kop12] C. Kop.
