We consider the system Applicative_first_order_05__#3.27. 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(f(x)) => g(f(x)) g(g(x)) => f(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#(f(X)) =#> g#(f(X)) 1] f#(f(X)) =#> f#(X) 2] g#(g(X)) =#> f#(X) 3] map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) 4] filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> filter2#(F X, F, X, Y) 5] filter2#(true, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) 6] filter2#(false, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) Rules R_0: f(f(X)) => g(f(X)) g(g(X)) => f(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). The formative rules of (P_0, R_0) are R_1 ::= f(f(X)) => g(f(X)) g(g(X)) => f(X) map(F, cons(X, Y)) => cons(F X, map(F, Y)) 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) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.17], we may replace the dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, static, formative) by (P_0, R_1, static, formative). Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_0, R_1, static, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_0, R_1, 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#(f(X)) >? g#(f(X)) f#(f(X)) >? f#(X) g#(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(f(X)) >= g(f(X)) g(g(X)) >= f(X) map(F, cons(X, Y)) >= cons(F X, map(F, Y)) 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 = \y0y1.2 + 2y1 f = \y0.1 + 2y0 f# = \y0.0 false = 3 filter = \G0y1.y1 filter2 = \y0G1y2y3.2 + 2y3 filter2# = \y0G1y2y3.1 + 2y3 filter# = \G0y1.y1 g = \y0.1 + 2y0 g# = \y0.0 map = \G0y1.2y1 + 2y1G0(y1) map# = \G0y1.2y1G0(y1) true = 3 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[f#(f(_x0))]] = 0 >= 0 = [[g#(f(_x0))]] [[f#(f(_x0))]] = 0 >= 0 = [[f#(_x0)]] [[g#(g(_x0))]] = 0 >= 0 = [[f#(_x0)]] [[map#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 4x2F0(2 + 2x2) + 4F0(2 + 2x2) >= 2x2F0(x2) = [[map#(_F0, _x2)]] [[filter#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 2 + 2x2 > 1 + 2x2 = [[filter2#(_F0 _x1, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] [[filter2#(true, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 1 + 2x2 > x2 = [[filter#(_F0, _x2)]] [[filter2#(false, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 1 + 2x2 > x2 = [[filter#(_F0, _x2)]] [[f(f(_x0))]] = 3 + 4x0 >= 3 + 4x0 = [[g(f(_x0))]] [[g(g(_x0))]] = 3 + 4x0 >= 1 + 2x0 = [[f(_x0)]] [[map(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 4 + 4x2 + 4x2F0(2 + 2x2) + 4F0(2 + 2x2) >= 2 + 4x2 + 4x2F0(x2) = [[cons(_F0 _x1, map(_F0, _x2))]] [[filter(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 2 + 2x2 >= 2 + 2x2 = [[filter2(_F0 _x1, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] [[filter2(true, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 2 + 2x2 >= 2 + 2x2 = [[cons(_x1, filter(_F0, _x2))]] [[filter2(false, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 2 + 2x2 >= x2 = [[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_1, static, formative) by (P_1, R_1, static, formative), where P_1 consists of: f#(f(X)) =#> g#(f(X)) f#(f(X)) =#> f#(X) g#(g(X)) =#> f#(X) map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_1, R_1, static, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_1, R_1, 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_1, static, formative). The formative rules of (P_2, R_1) are R_2 ::= f(f(X)) => g(f(X)) g(g(X)) => f(X) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.17], we may replace the dependency pair problem (P_2, R_1, static, formative) by (P_2, R_2, static, formative). Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_2, R_2, static, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_2, R_2, 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].

The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: f = \y0.2 + 3y0 f# = \y0.2 + 3y0 g = \y0.2 + 2y0 g# = \y0.2y0 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[f#(f(_x0))]] = 8 + 9x0 > 4 + 6x0 = [[g#(f(_x0))]] [[f#(f(_x0))]] = 8 + 9x0 > 2 + 3x0 = [[f#(_x0)]] [[g#(g(_x0))]] = 4 + 4x0 > 2 + 3x0 = [[f#(_x0)]] [[f(f(_x0))]] = 8 + 9x0 >= 6 + 6x0 = [[g(f(_x0))]] [[g(g(_x0))]] = 6 + 4x0 >= 2 + 3x0 = [[f(_x0)]] By the observations in [Kop12, Sec. 6.6], this reduction pair suffices; we may thus replace a dependency pair problem (P_2, R_2) by ({}, R_2). 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.
