Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Secret_06_TRS/8)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
c#(c(c(y))) c#(a(a(c(b(0,y)),0),0)) (4)
c#(c(c(y))) b#(0,y) (5)
a#(y,0) b#(y,0) (6)
c#(c(c(y))) c#(b(0,y)) (7)
c#(c(c(y))) a#(a(c(b(0,y)),0),0) (8)
c#(c(c(y))) c#(c(a(a(c(b(0,y)),0),0))) (9)
c#(c(c(y))) a#(c(b(0,y)),0) (10)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
