Certification Problem

Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Zantema_04/z002)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

b(c(a(x1))) a(b(a(b(x1)))) (1)
b(x1) c(c(x1)) (2)
a(a(x1)) a(c(b(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#(c(a(x1))) b#(x1) (4)
b#(c(a(x1))) b#(a(b(x1))) (5)
b#(c(a(x1))) a#(b(x1)) (6)
b#(c(a(x1))) a#(b(a(b(x1)))) (7)
a#(a(x1)) b#(a(x1)) (8)
a#(a(x1)) a#(c(b(a(x1)))) (9)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
