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) rec#(F, x, y) => rec#(F, x - 1, y) | x > 0 ***** We apply the Integer Function Processor on P1. We use the following integer mapping: J(rec#) = arg_2 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.
