Certification Problem

Input (TPDB SRS_Relative/Zantema_06_relative/rel05)

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

b(c(a(x1))) → d(d(x1)) (1)
b(x1) → c(c(x1)) (2)
a(a(x1)) → a(x1) (3)

and S is the following TRS.

a(b(x1)) → d(x1) (4)
d(x1) → a(b(x1)) (5)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.
