Input (TPDB SRS_Relative/Mixed_relative_SRS/dup03)

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

a(a(c(c(b(b(x1)))))) → b(b(a(a(b(b(a(a(x1)))))))) (1)
a(a(a(a(x1)))) → a(a(b(b(a(a(x1)))))) (2)

and S is the following TRS.

b(b(x1)) → b(b(c(c(x1)))) (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

1 Rule Removal

Using the matrix interpretations of dimension 3 with strict dimension 1 over the integers
[a(x1)] =
0

all of the following rules can be deleted.
a(a(c(c(b(b(x1)))))) → b(b(a(a(b(b(a(a(x1)))))))) (1)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the matrix interpretations of dimension 2 with strict dimension 1 over the integers
[a(x1)] =

all of the following rules can be deleted.
a(a(a(a(x1)))) → a(a(b(b(a(a(x1)))))) (2)

1.1.1 R is empty

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