Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_07_size12/size-12-alpha-2-num-22)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
b#(x1) a#(x1) (4)
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) b#(b(a(a(a(x1))))) (5)
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) b#(a(a(a(x1)))) (6)
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) a#(a(x1)) (7)
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) a#(a(a(x1))) (8)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
