Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Secret_06_TRS/10)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

c(c(c(y))) c(c(a(y,0))) (1)
c(a(a(0,x),y)) a(c(c(c(0))),y) (2)
c(y) y (3)

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.
c#(c(c(y))) c#(c(a(y,0))) (4)
c#(c(c(y))) c#(a(y,0)) (5)
c#(a(a(0,x),y)) c#(c(c(0))) (6)
c#(a(a(0,x),y)) c#(c(0)) (7)
c#(a(a(0,x),y)) c#(0) (8)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
