Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Secret_05_TRS/teparla2)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(y,f(x,f(a,x))) f(f(f(a,x),f(x,a)),f(a,y)) (1)
f(x,f(x,y)) f(f(f(x,a),a),a) (2)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
f#(y,f(x,f(a,x))) f#(f(f(a,x),f(x,a)),f(a,y)) (3)
f#(y,f(x,f(a,x))) f#(f(a,x),f(x,a)) (4)
f#(y,f(x,f(a,x))) f#(x,a) (5)
f#(y,f(x,f(a,x))) f#(a,y) (6)
f#(x,f(x,y)) f#(f(f(x,a),a),a) (7)
f#(x,f(x,y)) f#(f(x,a),a) (8)
f#(x,f(x,y)) f#(x,a) (9)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
