We consider termination of the LCTRS with only rule scheme Calc: Signature: sif :: Bool -> Int -> Int -> Int sum :: Int -> Int -> Int Rules: sum(x, y) -> sif(x >= y, x, y) | x = x /\ y = y sif(true, x, y) -> y + sum(x, y + 1) | x = x /\ y = y sif(false, x, y) -> 0 | x = x /\ y = y 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, i, c), where: P1. (1) sum#(x, y) => sif#(x >= y, x, y) | x = x /\ y = y (2) sif#(true, x, y) => sum#(x, y + 1) | x = x /\ y = y ***** We apply the Chaining Processor Processor on D1 = (P1, R, i, c). We chain DPs according to the following mapping: sif#(true, x, y) => sif#(x >= y + 1, x, y + 1) | x = x /\ y = y /\ (x = x /\ y + 1 = y + 1) is obtained by chaining sif#(true, x, y) => sum#(x, y + 1) | x = x /\ y = y and sum#(x', y') => sif#(x' >= y', x', y') | x' = x' /\ y' = y' The following DPs were deleted: sif#(true, x, y) => sum#(x, y + 1) | x = x /\ y = y sum#(x, y) => sif#(x >= y, x, y) | x = x /\ y = y By chaining, we added 1 DPs and removed 2 DPs. Processor output: { D2 = (P2, R, i, c) }, where: P2. (1) sif#(true, x, y) => sif#(x >= y + 1, x, y + 1) | x = x /\ y = y /\ (x = x /\ y + 1 = y + 1) ***** We apply the Usable Rules Processor on D2 = (P2, R, i, c). We obtain 0 usable rules (out of 3 rules in the input problem). Processor output: { D3 = (P2, {}, i, c) }. ***** No progress could be made on DP problem D3 = (P2, {}, i, c).
