We consider the system Applicative_first_order_05__#3.2. Alphabet: 0 : [] --> a cons : [c * d] --> d false : [] --> b filter : [c -> b * d] --> d filter2 : [b * c -> b * c * d] --> d map : [c -> c * d] --> d minus : [a * a] --> a nil : [] --> d pred : [a] --> a quot : [a * a] --> a s : [a] --> a true : [] --> b Rules: pred(s(x)) => x minus(x, 0) => x minus(x, s(y)) => pred(minus(x, y)) quot(0, s(x)) => 0 quot(s(x), s(y)) => s(quot(minus(x, y), s(y))) 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) This AFS is converted to an AFSM simply by replacing all free variables by meta-variables (with arity 0). We observe that the rules contain a first-order subset: pred(s(X)) => X minus(X, 0) => X minus(X, s(Y)) => pred(minus(X, Y)) quot(0, s(X)) => 0 quot(s(X), s(Y)) => s(quot(minus(X, Y), s(Y))) Moreover, the system is orthogonal. Thus, by [Kop12, Thm. 7.55], we may omit all first-order dependency pairs from the dependency pair problem (DP(R), R) if this first-order part is terminating when seen as a many-sorted first-order TRS. According to nattprover, this system is indeed terminating: || Input TRS: || 1: pred(s(PeRCenTX)) -> PeRCenTX || 2: minus(PeRCenTX,0()) -> PeRCenTX || 3: minus(PeRCenTX,s(PeRCenTY)) -> pred(minus(PeRCenTX,PeRCenTY)) || 4: quot(0(),s(PeRCenTX)) -> 0() || 5: quot(s(PeRCenTX),s(PeRCenTY)) -> s(quot(minus(PeRCenTX,PeRCenTY),s(PeRCenTY))) || Number of strict rules: 5 || Direct POLO(bPol) ... failed. || Uncurrying ... failed. || Dependency Pairs: || #1: #quot(s(PeRCenTX),s(PeRCenTY)) -> #quot(minus(PeRCenTX,PeRCenTY),s(PeRCenTY)) || #2: #quot(s(PeRCenTX),s(PeRCenTY)) -> #minus(PeRCenTX,PeRCenTY) || #3: #minus(PeRCenTX,s(PeRCenTY)) -> #pred(minus(PeRCenTX,PeRCenTY)) || #4: #minus(PeRCenTX,s(PeRCenTY)) -> #minus(PeRCenTX,PeRCenTY) || Number of SCCs: 2, DPs: 2 || SCC { #4 } || POLO(Sum)... succeeded. || s w: x1 + 1 || minus w: 0 || pred w: 0 || 0 w: 0 || quot w: 0 || #minus w: x2 || #pred w: 0 || #quot w: 0 || USABLE RULES: { } || Removed DPs: #4 || Number of SCCs: 1, DPs: 1 || SCC { #1 } || POLO(Sum)... succeeded. || s w: x1 + 2 || minus w: x1 + 1 || pred w: x1 || 0 w: 1 || quot w: 0 || #minus w: 0 || #pred w: 0 || #quot w: x1 || USABLE RULES: { 1..3 } || Removed DPs: #1 || Number of SCCs: 0, DPs: 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 [FuhKop19]). We thus obtain the following dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, computable, formative): Dependency Pairs P_0: 0] map#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map#(F, Y) 1] filter#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> filter2#(F X, F, X, Y) 2] filter2#(true, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) 3] filter2#(false, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) Rules R_0: pred(s(X)) => X minus(X, 0) => X minus(X, s(Y)) => pred(minus(X, Y)) quot(0, s(X)) => 0 quot(s(X), s(Y)) => s(quot(minus(X, Y), s(Y))) 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, computable, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, computable, 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 : 0 * 1 : 2, 3 * 2 : 1 * 3 : 1 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, computable, formative) and (P_2, R_0, computable, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_2, R_0, computable, formative). We apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function: nu(filter2#) = 4 nu(filter#) = 2 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(filter#(F, cons(X, Y))) = cons(X, Y) |> Y = nu(filter2#(F X, F, X, Y)) nu(filter2#(true, F, X, Y)) = Y = Y = nu(filter#(F, Y)) nu(filter2#(false, F, X, Y)) = Y = Y = nu(filter#(F, Y)) By [FuhKop19, Thm. 61], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_2, R_0, computable, f) by (P_3, R_0, computable, f), where P_3 contains: filter2#(true, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) filter2#(false, F, X, Y) =#> filter#(F, Y) Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, computable, formative) and (P_3, R_0, computable, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_3, R_0, computable, 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 : This graph has no strongly connected components. By [Kop12, Thm. 7.31], this implies finiteness of the dependency pair problem. Thus, the original system is terminating if (P_1, R_0, computable, formative) is finite. We consider the dependency pair problem (P_1, R_0, computable, formative). We apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function: nu(map#) = 2 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(map#(F, cons(X, Y))) = cons(X, Y) |> Y = nu(map#(F, Y)) By [FuhKop19, Thm. 61], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_1, R_0, computable, f) by ({}, R_0, computable, f). 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 +++ [FuhKop19] C. Fuhs, and C. Kop.
