We consider the system Applicative_05__Ex9Maps. Alphabet: cons : [d * e] --> e g : [] --> b map!fac62201 : [d -> d * e] --> e map!fac62202 : [d -> a -> d * a * e] --> e map!fac62203 : [b -> d -> c -> d * b * c * e] --> e Rules: map!fac62201(f, cons(x, y)) => cons(f x, map!fac62201(f, y)) map!fac62202(f, x, cons(y, z)) => cons(f y x, map!fac62202(f, x, z)) map!fac62203(f, g, x, cons(y, z)) => cons(f g y x, map!fac62203(f, g, x, z)) 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 [FuhKop19]). We thus obtain the following dependency pair problem (P_0, R_0, computable, formative): Dependency Pairs P_0: 0] map!fac62201#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map!fac62201#(F, Y) 1] map!fac62202#(F, X, cons(Y, Z)) =#> map!fac62202#(F, X, Z) 2] map!fac62203#(F, g, X, cons(Y, Z)) =#> map!fac62203#(F, g, X, Z) Rules R_0: map!fac62201(F, cons(X, Y)) => cons(F X, map!fac62201(F, Y)) map!fac62202(F, X, cons(Y, Z)) => cons(F Y X, map!fac62202(F, X, Z)) map!fac62203(F, g, X, cons(Y, Z)) => cons(F g Y X, map!fac62203(F, g, X, Z)) 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 : 1 * 2 : 2 This graph has the following strongly connected components: P_1: map!fac62201#(F, cons(X, Y)) =#> map!fac62201#(F, Y) P_2: map!fac62202#(F, X, cons(Y, Z)) =#> map!fac62202#(F, X, Z) P_3: map!fac62203#(F, g, X, cons(Y, Z)) =#> map!fac62203#(F, g, X, Z) 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), (P_2, R_0, m, f) and (P_3, R_0, m, f). Thus, the original system is terminating if each of (P_1, R_0, computable, formative), (P_2, 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 apply the subterm criterion with the following projection function: nu(map!fac62203#) = 4 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(map!fac62203#(F, g, X, cons(Y, Z))) = cons(Y, Z) |> Z = nu(map!fac62203#(F, g, X, Z)) By [FuhKop19, Thm. 61], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_3, R_0, computable, f) by ({}, R_0, computable, f). By the empty set processor [Kop12, Thm. 7.15] this problem may be immediately removed. 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(map!fac62202#) = 3 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(map!fac62202#(F, X, cons(Y, Z))) = cons(Y, Z) |> Z = nu(map!fac62202#(F, X, Z)) By [FuhKop19, Thm. 61], we may replace a dependency pair problem (P_2, R_0, computable, f) by ({}, R_0, computable, f). 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, 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!fac62201#) = 2 Thus, we can orient the dependency pairs as follows: nu(map!fac62201#(F, cons(X, Y))) = cons(X, Y) |> Y = nu(map!fac62201#(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.
