Certification Problem

Input (TPDB SRS_Relative/Zantema_06_relative/rel09)

The relative rewrite relation R/S is considered where R is the following TRS

b(q(b(x1))) b(p(b(x1))) (1)

and S is the following TRS.

0(p(0(x1))) q(x1) (2)
1(q(1(x1))) q(x1) (3)
p(x1) 1(p(1(0(1(x1))))) (4)
0(q(0(x1))) q(x1) (5)
1(p(1(x1))) q(x1) (6)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

1.1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
