YES (VAR a x k d) (RULES f(a,empty) -> g(a,empty) f(a,cons(x,k)) -> f(cons(x,a),k) g(empty,d) -> d g(cons(x,k),d) -> g(k,cons(x,d)) ) The TRS is an overlay system and all critical pairs are trivial, thus termination of innermost rewriting is equivalent to termination of rewriting. Proving termination of innermost rewriting for jones6: -> Dependency pairs: nF_f(a,empty) -> nF_g(a,empty) nF_f(a,cons(x,k)) -> nF_f(cons(x,a),k) nF_g(cons(x,k),d) -> nF_g(k,cons(x,d)) -> Proof of termination for jones6_1_1: -> -> Dependency pairs in cycle: nF_f(a,cons(x,k)) -> nF_f(cons(x,a),k) Termination proved: Cycles verify subterm criterion. -> Proof of termination for jones6_1_2: -> -> Dependency pairs in cycle: nF_g(cons(x,k),d) -> nF_g(k,cons(x,d)) Termination proved: Cycles verify subterm criterion. SETTINGS: Base ordering: Polynomial ordering Proof mode: SCCs in DG + base ordering Upper bound for coeffs: 1 Rationals below 1 for all non-replacing args: No Polynomial interpretation: Linear Coeffs in polynomials: No rationals Delta: automatic Termination was proved succesfully.
