Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Wenzel_16/abaabababa-aababababaabab.srs)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(b(a(a(b(a(b(a(b(a(x1)))))))))) → a(a(b(a(b(a(b(a(b(a(a(b(a(b(x1)))))))))))))) (1)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Closure Under Flat Contexts

Using the flat contexts

{b(☐), a(☐)}

We obtain the transformed TRS
b(a(b(a(a(b(a(b(a(b(a(x1))))))))))) → b(a(a(b(a(b(a(b(a(b(a(a(b(a(b(x1))))))))))))))) (2)
a(a(b(a(a(b(a(b(a(b(a(x1))))))))))) → a(a(a(b(a(b(a(b(a(b(a(a(b(a(b(x1))))))))))))))) (3)

1.1 Semantic Labeling

The following interpretations form a model of the rules.

As carrier we take the set {0,1}. Symbols are labeled by the interpretation of their arguments using the interpretations (modulo 2):

[b(x1)] = 2x1 + 0
[a(x1)] = 2x1 + 1

We obtain the labeled TRS
a1(a0(b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a1(x1))))))))))) → a1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(x1))))))))))))))) (4)
a1(a0(b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(x1))))))))))) → a1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b0(x1))))))))))))))) (5)
b1(a0(b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a1(x1))))))))))) → b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(x1))))))))))))))) (6)
b1(a0(b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(x1))))))))))) → b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a0(b1(a1(a0(b1(a0(b0(x1))))))))))))))) (7)
