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) heightf#(cons(X, Y)) => heightt#(X) (2) heightf#(cons(X, Y)) => heightf#(Y) (3) heightt#(node(U)) => heightf#(U) ***** We apply the Subterm Criterion Processor on P1. We use the following projection function: nu(heightf#) = 1 nu(heightt#) = 1 We thus have: (1) cons(X, Y) |>| X (2) cons(X, Y) |>| Y (3) node(U) |>| U All DPs are strictly oriented, and may be removed. Hence, this DP problem is finite.
