We consider termination of the LCSTRS with only rule scheme Calc: Signature: cons :: Int -> list -> list f :: Int -> Int -> list -> list nil :: list Rules: f(x, y, z) -> f(y - 2, x + 1, cons(0, z)) | y > 0 f(x, y, z) -> z | y <= 0 The system is accessible function passing by a sort ordering that equates all sorts. We start by computing the initial DP problem D1 = (P1, R, f, c), where: P1. (1) f#(x, y, z) => f#(y - 2, x + 1, cons(0, z)) | y > 0 ***** No progress could be made on DP problem D1 = (P1, R, f, c).
