Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_06_SRS/jw3)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(b(b(x1))) P(a(b(x1))) (1)
a(P(x1)) P(a(x(x1))) (2)
a(x(x1)) x(a(x1)) (3)
b(P(x1)) b(Q(x1)) (4)
Q(x(x1)) a(Q(x1)) (5)
Q(a(x1)) b(b(a(x1))) (6)

Property / Task

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(b(b(x1))) a#(b(x1)) (7)
a#(P(x1)) a#(x(x1)) (8)
a#(x(x1)) a#(x1) (9)
b#(P(x1)) b#(Q(x1)) (10)
b#(P(x1)) Q#(x1) (11)
Q#(x(x1)) a#(Q(x1)) (12)
Q#(x(x1)) Q#(x1) (13)
Q#(a(x1)) b#(b(a(x1))) (14)
Q#(a(x1)) b#(a(x1)) (15)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 2 components.
