我正在阅读一篇论文“Termination of term rewriting using dependency pairs”(Thomas Arts,Jurgen Giesl)。在示例中:
minus (x,0) -> x
minus (s(x), s(y)) -> minus (x,y)
quot (0, s(y)) -> 0
quote (s(x), s(y)) -> s (quot (minus (x, y), s(y)))
它说: ”However, the TRS above is not compatible with a simplification ordering, because the left-hand side of the last quot-rule is embedded in its right-hand side if y is instantiated with s (x). Therefore these techniques cannot prove termination of this TRS"
我不明白“ if y is instantiated with s (x)
”。如果可能的话,你能帮我理解吗?PS:如果这边不是问这种问题的地方,请你帮我知道我在哪里可以问?非常感谢您的帮助
