YES (VAR x) (RULES g(x,a,b) -> g(b,b,a) ) 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 27: -> Dependency pairs: nF_g(x,a,b) -> nF_g(b,b,a) -> Proof of termination for 27_1: Termination proved: No cycles in dependency graph. 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.
