We consider the system AotoYamada_05__007. Alphabet: 0 : [] --> b cons : [b * a] --> a 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) inc => map(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 static dependency pairs (see [KusIsoSakBla09] and the adaptation for AFSMs and accessible arguments in [Kop13]). In order to do so, we start by eta-expanding the system, which gives: 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)) inc(X) => map(/\x.plus(s(0), x), X) We thus obtain the following dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, static, formative): Dependency Pairs P_0: 0] plus#(s(X), Y) =#> plus#(X, Y) 1] map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) 2] inc#(X) =#> map#(/\x.plus(s(0), x), X) 3] inc#(X) =#> plus#(s(0), Y) 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)) inc(X) => map(/\x.plus(s(0), x), X) 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: plus#(s(X), Y) >? plus#(X, Y) map#(F, cons(X, Y)) >? map#(F, Y) inc#(X) >? map#(/\x.plus(s(0), x), X) inc#(X) >? plus#(s(0), Y) 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)) inc(X) >= map(/\x.plus(s(0), x), X) We apply [Kop12, Thm. 6.75] and use the following argument functions: pi( inc(X) ) = #argfun-inc#(map(/\x.plus(s(0), x), X)) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: #argfun-inc# = \y0.3 + y0 0 = 0 cons = \y0y1.3 inc = \y0.0 inc# = \y0.3 + 2y0 map = \G0y1.3y1 + 2G0(0) + 2G0(y1) + 3y1G0(y1) map# = \G0y1.0 nil = 0 plus = \y0y1.y1 plus# = \y0y1.0 s = \y0.0 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[plus#(s(_x0), _x1)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[plus#(_x0, _x1)]] [[map#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 0 >= 0 = [[map#(_F0, _x2)]] [[inc#(_x0)]] = 3 + 2x0 > 0 = [[map#(/\x.plus(s(0), x), _x0)]] [[inc#(_x0)]] = 3 + 2x0 > 0 = [[plus#(s(0), _x1)]] [[plus(0, _x0)]] = x0 >= x0 = [[_x0]] [[plus(s(_x0), _x1)]] = x1 >= 0 = [[s(plus(_x0, _x1))]] [[map(_F0, nil)]] = 4F0(0) >= 0 = [[nil]] [[map(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 9 + 2F0(0) + 11F0(3) >= 3 = [[cons(_F0 _x1, map(_F0, _x2))]] [[#argfun-inc#(map(/\x.plus(s(0), x), _x0))]] = 3 + 3x0x0 + 5x0 >= 3x0x0 + 5x0 = [[map(/\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_0, R_0, static, formative) by (P_1, R_0, static, formative), where P_1 consists of: plus#(s(X), Y) =#> plus#(X, Y) map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_1, R_0, static, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_1, 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].

We consider the dependency pair problem (P_2, 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].

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.
