We consider termination of the MSTRS with no additional rule schemes: Signature: + :: o -> o -> o 0 :: o s :: o -> o Rules: +(x, 0) -> x +(x, s(y)) -> s(+(x, 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) +#(x, s(y)) => +#(x, y) ***** We apply the Subterm Criterion Processor on D1 = (P1, R, i, c). We use the following projection function: nu(+#) = 2 We thus have: (1) s(y) |>| y All DPs are strictly oriented, and may be removed. Hence, this DP problem is finite. Processor output: { }.
