By using the subterm criterion [SUBTERM_CRITERION] together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] we have proven that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

From the DPs we obtained the following set of size-change graphs:

  • F(n(x)) → F(x)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1

  • F(c(x)) → F(x)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1

(13) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04,JAR06].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


S(n(x)) → S(f(x))
S(n(x)) → S(s(f(x)))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Polynomial Order [NEGPOLO,POLO] with Interpretation:
POL( S(x1) ) = max{0, 2x1 - 1}

POL( f(x1) ) = 2x1

POL( c(x1) ) = 0

POL( n(x1) ) = 2x1 + 2

POL( s(x1) ) = max{0, -2}


The following usable rules [FROCOS05] with respect to the argument filtering of the ordering [JAR06] were oriented:

f(x) → c(c(n(x)))
f(c(x)) → c(c(f(x)))
f(n(x)) → n(f(x))
s(n(x)) → s(s(f(x)))

(15) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
