Certification Problem
Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Secret_07_SRS/x09)
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
a(a(a(b(b(x1))))) |
→ |
b(b(a(b(b(a(a(a(x1)))))))) |
(1) |
b(b(a(x1))) |
→ |
x1 |
(2) |
a(x1) |
→ |
b(b(b(x1))) |
(3) |
a(x1) |
→ |
b(x1) |
(4) |
Property / Task
Prove or disprove termination.Answer / Result
Yes.Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)
1 String Reversal
Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS
b(b(a(a(a(x1))))) |
→ |
a(a(a(b(b(a(b(b(x1)))))))) |
(5) |
a(b(b(x1))) |
→ |
x1 |
(6) |
a(x1) |
→ |
b(b(b(x1))) |
(3) |
a(x1) |
→ |
b(x1) |
(4) |
1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation
The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.

(7) |
b#(b(a(a(a(x1))))) |
→ |
a#(a(b(b(a(b(b(x1))))))) |
(8) |
b#(b(a(a(a(x1))))) |
→ |
a#(b(b(a(b(b(x1)))))) |
(9) |
b#(b(a(a(a(x1))))) |
→ |
b#(b(a(b(b(x1))))) |
(10) |
b#(b(a(a(a(x1))))) |
→ |
b#(a(b(b(x1)))) |
