We consider the system Applicative_first_order_05__#3.32. Alphabet: a : [] --> a b : [] --> a cons : [e * f] --> f f : [a] --> b false : [] --> d filter : [e -> d * f] --> f filter2 : [d * e -> d * e * f] --> f g : [a] --> c map : [e -> e * f] --> f nil : [] --> f true : [] --> d Rules: f(a) => f(b) g(b) => g(a) 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#(a) =#> f#(b) 1] g#(b) =#> g#(a) 2] map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) 3] filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> filter2#(F X, F, X, Y) 4] filter2#(true, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) 5] filter2#(false, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) Rules R_0: f(a) => f(b) g(b) => g(a) 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 place the elements of P in a dependency graph approximation G (see e.g. [Kop12, Thm. 7.27, 7.29], as follows: * 0 : * 1 : * 2 : 2 * 3 : 4, 5 * 4 : 3 * 5 : 3 This graph has the following strongly connected components: P_1: map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) P_2: 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) By [Kop12, Thm. 7.31], we may replace any dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, m, f) by (P_1, R_0, m, f) and (P_2, R_0, m, f). Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, static, formative) and (P_2, R_0, static, formative) is finite. 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]. Thus, we must orient: 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(a) >= f(b) g(b) >= g(a) 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: a = 0 b = 0 cons = \y0y1.2 + y1 f = \y0.0 false = 3 filter = \G0y1.2y1 filter2 = \y0G1y2y3.2 + 2y3 filter2# = \y0G1y2y3.1 + y3 + 2G1(y3) + y3G1(y3) filter# = \G0y1.y1 + y1G0(y1) g = \y0.0 map = \G0y1.2y1 nil = 0 true = 3 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[filter#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 2 + x2 + 2F0(2 + x2) + x2F0(2 + x2) > 1 + x2 + 2F0(x2) + x2F0(x2) = [[filter2#(_F0 _x1, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] [[filter2#(true, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 1 + x2 + 2F0(x2) + x2F0(x2) > x2 + x2F0(x2) = [[filter#(_F0, _x2)]] [[filter2#(false, _F0, _x1, _x2)]] = 1 + x2 + 2F0(x2) + x2F0(x2) > x2 + x2F0(x2) = [[filter#(_F0, _x2)]] [[f(a)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[f(b)]] [[g(b)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[g(a)]] [[map(_F0, nil)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[nil]] [[map(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 4 + 2x2 >= 2 + 2x2 = [[cons(_F0 _x1, map(_F0, _x2))]] [[filter(_F0, nil)]] = 0 >= 0 = [[nil]] [[filter(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 4 + 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 >= 2x2 = [[filter(_F0, _x2)]] By the observations in [Kop12, Sec. 6.6], this reduction pair suffices; we may thus replace a dependency pair problem (P_2, R_0) by ({}, R_0). By the empty set processor [Kop12, Thm. 7.15] this problem may be immediately removed. 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 with usable rules [Kop12, Thm. 7.44]. (P_1, R_0) has no usable rules. It suffices to find a standard reduction pair [Kop12, Def. 6.69]. Thus, we must orient: map#(F, cons(X, Y)) >? map#(F, Y) We orient these requirements with a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. The following interpretation satisfies the requirements: cons = \y0y1.3 + 2y1 map# = \G0y1.y1 Using this interpretation, the requirements translate to: [[map#(_F0, cons(_x1, _x2))]] = 3 + 2x2 > x2 = [[map#(_F0, _x2)]] By the observations in [Kop12, Sec. 6.6], this reduction pair suffices; we may thus replace a dependency pair problem (P_1, R_0) by ({}, R_0). 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.
