Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_07_size12/size-12-alpha-3-num-57)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(x1) x1 (1)
a(a(x1)) a(b(a(b(c(a(x1)))))) (2)
c(b(x1)) a(x1) (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(a(x1)) a#(b(a(b(c(a(x1)))))) (4)
a#(a(x1)) a#(b(c(a(x1)))) (5)
a#(a(x1)) c#(a(x1)) (6)
c#(b(x1)) a#(x1) (7)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
