The system is accessible function passing by a sort ordering that equates all sorts. We start by computing the following initial DP problem: P1. (1) mult#(x, y) => mult#(x - 1, y) | x > 0 (2) mult#(x, y) => mult#(-x, y) | 0 > x ***** We apply the Graph Processor on P1. There is only one SCC, so all DPs not inside the SCC can be removed: P2. (1) mult#(x, y) => mult#(x - 1, y) | x > 0 ***** We apply the Integer Function Processor on P2. We use the following integer mapping: J(mult#) = arg_1 We thus have: (1) x > 0 |= x > x - 1 (and x >= 0) All DPs are strictly oriented, and may be removed. Hence, this DP problem is finite.
