Description:	This theory present a methodology to organize and simplify non-trivial termination proofs of functions using well-founded multiset orderings. The theory consists of: A formalization of the Dershowitz and Manna theorem. A methodology for proving termination properties. Three case studies: a tail--recursive definition of Ackermann's function, an iterative definition of McCarthy's 91 function and an iterative function to compute a generic schema for double recursion
