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 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)) curry(F, X, Y) => F X Y inc(X) => map(/\x.curry(/\y./\z.plus(y, z), 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.curry(/\y./\z.plus(y, z), s(0), x), X) 3] inc#(X) =#> curry#(/\x./\y.plus(x, y), s(0), Y) 4] inc#(X) =#> plus#(Y, Z) 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(X) => map(/\x.curry(/\y./\z.plus(y, z), 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.curry(/\y./\z.plus(y, z), s(0), x), X) inc#(X) >? curry#(/\x./\y.plus(x, y), s(0), Y) inc#(X) >? plus#(Y, Z) 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(X) >= map(/\x.curry(/\y./\z.plus(y, z), s(0), x), X) We apply [Kop12, Thm. 6.75] and use the following argument functions: pi( curry(F, X, Y) ) = #argfun-curry#(F X Y) pi( inc(X) ) = #argfun-inc#(map(/\x.#argfun-curry#((/\y./\z.plus(y, z)) s(0) x), X)) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers.

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.
