Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Endrullis_06/pair2simple1)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

p(a(x0),p(a(b(x1)),x2)) p(a(b(a(x2))),p(a(a(x1)),x2)) (1)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the
prec(p) = 1 stat(p) = lex
prec(a) = 0 stat(a) = lex
prec(b) = 1 stat(b) = lex

π(p) = [2,1]
π(a) = [1]
π(b) = [1]

all of the following rules can be deleted.
p(a(x0),p(a(b(x1)),x2)) p(a(b(a(x2))),p(a(a(x1)),x2)) (1)

1.1 R is empty

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