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). The formative rules of (P_0, R_0) are R_1 ::= plus(0, X) => X plus(s(X), Y) => s(plus(X, Y)) 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) 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: 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, 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. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: #argfun-curry# = \y0.y0 #argfun-inc# = \y0.3 + y0 0 = 0 cons = \y0y1.1 + y1 curry = \G0y1y2.0 curry# = \G0y1y2.0 inc = \y0.0 inc# = \y0.3 + 2y0 map = \G0y1.1 + 3y1 map# = \G0y1.y1 plus = \y0y1.2y1 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))]] = 1 + x2 > x2 = [[map#(_F0, _x2)]] [[inc#(_x0)]] = 3 + 2x0 > x0 = [[map#(/\x.#argfun-curry#((/\y./\z.plus(y, z)) s(0) x), _x0)]] [[inc#(_x0)]] = 3 + 2x0 > 0 = [[curry#(/\x./\y.plus(x, y), s(0), _x1)]] [[inc#(_x0)]] = 3 + 2x0 > 0 = [[plus#(_x1, _x2)]] [[plus(0, _x0)]] = 2x0 >= x0 = [[_x0]] [[plus(s(_x0), _x1)]] = 2x1 >= 0 = [[s(plus(_x0, _x1))]] [[map(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 4 + 3x2 >= 2 + 3x2 = [[cons(_F0 _x1, map(_F0, _x2))]] [[#argfun-curry#(_F0 _x1 _x2)]] = F0(x1,x2) >= F0(x1,x2) = [[_F0 _x1 _x2]] [[#argfun-inc#(map(/\x.#argfun-curry#((/\y./\z.plus(y, z)) s(0) x), _x0))]] = 4 + 3x0 >= 1 + 3x0 = [[map(/\x.#argfun-curry#((/\y./\z.plus(y, z)) 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_1, static, formative) by (P_1, R_1, static, formative), where P_1 consists of: plus#(s(X), Y) =#> plus#(X, 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). The formative rules of (P_1, R_1) are R_2 ::= plus(0, X) => X plus(s(X), Y) => s(plus(X, Y)) curry(F, X, Y) => F X Y By [Kop12, Thm. 7.17], we may replace the dependency pair problem (P_1, R_1, static, formative) by (P_1, R_2, static, formative). Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_1, R_2, static, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_1, 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]. Thus, we must orient: plus#(s(X), Y) >? plus#(X, Y) plus(0, X) >= X plus(s(X), Y) >= s(plus(X, Y)) curry(F, X, Y) >= F X Y We apply [Kop12, Thm. 6.75] and use the following argument functions: pi( curry(F, X, Y) ) = #argfun-curry#(F X Y) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: #argfun-curry# = \y0.3 + y0 0 = 0 curry = \G0y1y2.0 plus = \y0y1.y1 + 2y0 plus# = \y0y1.y0 s = \y0.1 + y0 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[plus#(s(_x0), _x1)]] = 1 + x0 > x0 = [[plus#(_x0, _x1)]] [[plus(0, _x0)]] = x0 >= x0 = [[_x0]] [[plus(s(_x0), _x1)]] = 2 + x1 + 2x0 >= 1 + x1 + 2x0 = [[s(plus(_x0, _x1))]] [[#argfun-curry#(_F0 _x1 _x2)]] = 3 + F0(x1,x2) >= F0(x1,x2) = [[_F0 _x1 _x2]] By the observations in [Kop12, Sec. 6.6], this reduction pair suffices; we may thus replace a dependency pair problem (P_1, 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.
