Input (TPDB TRS_Relative/Mixed_relative_TRS/carbridge)

The relative rewrite relation R/S is considered where R is the following TRS

top(left(car(x,y),car(old,z))) → top(right(y,car(old,z))) (1)
top(left(car(x,car(old,y)),z)) → top(right(car(old,y),z)) (2)
top(right(x,car(y,car(old,z)))) → top(left(x,car(old,z))) (3)
top(right(car(old,x),car(y,z))) → top(left(car(old,x),z)) (4)
top(left(bot,car(old,x))) → top(right(bot,car(old,x))) (5)
top(right(car(old,x),bot)) → top(left(car(old,x),bot)) (6)

and S is the following TRS.

bot → car(new,bot) (7)
top(right(x,car(y,z))) → top(right(x,z)) (8)
top(left(car(x,y),z)) → top(left(y,z)) (9)

1.1.1.1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
