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) add#(s(x), y) => add#(x, s(y)) ***** We apply the Subterm Criterion Processor on P1. We use the following projection function: nu(add#) = 1 We thus have: (1) s(x) |>| x All DPs are strictly oriented, and may be removed. Hence, this DP problem is finite.
