1.1.1.1.1.1 Dependency Graph Processor
The dependency pairs are split into 1
component.
-
The
2nd
component contains the
pair

1.1.1.1.2 Monotonic Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules
Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
| [ba(x1)] |
= |
1 · x1
|
| [ab(x1)] |
= |
1 · x1
|
| [bb(x1)] |
= |
1 · x1
|
| [ab#(x1)] |
= |
1 · x1
|

reduction pair),
the
rule
could be deleted.
1.1.1.1.2.1 Size-Change Termination
Using size-change termination in combination with
the subterm criterion
one obtains the following initial size-change graphs.
|
ab#(ba(ab(bb(bb(x1))))) |
→ |
ab#(x1) |
(30) |
|
| 1 |
> |

As there is no critical graph in the transitive closure, there are no infinite chains.
