Input (TPDB TRS_Relative/Relative_05/rt3-1)

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

f(g(x),y,z) f(x,y,g(z)) (1)

and S is the following TRS.

f(x,y,z) f(x,y,g(z)) (2)
f(x,a,z) f(x,g(a),z) (3)
f(x,y,g(z)) f(x,g(y),z) (4)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

1.1 R is empty

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