Abstract

Showing termination of the Battle of Hercules and Hydra is a challenge. We present the battle both as a rewrite system and as an arithmetic while program, provide proofs of their termination, and recall why their termination cannot be proved within Peano arithmetic. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
