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) sum#(x) => sum#(x - 1) | x != 0 ***** We apply the Constraint Modification Processor on P1. We replace sum#(x) => sum#(x - 1) | x != 0 by: sum#(x) => sum#(x - 1) | x > 0 sum#(x) => sum#(x - 1) | x < 0 This yields: P2. (1) sum#(x) => sum#(x - 1) | x > 0 (2) sum#(x) => sum#(x - 1) | x < 0 ***** We apply the Graph Processor on P2. Considering the 2 SCCs, this DP problem is split into the following new problems. P3. (1) sum#(x) => sum#(x - 1) | x > 0 P4. (1) sum#(x) => sum#(x - 1) | x < 0 ***** We apply the Integer Function Processor on P3. We use the following integer mapping: J(sum#) = 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. ***** No progress could be made on DP problem P4.
