Certification Problem
Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_06_SRS/sym-2)
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
a(a(a(x1))) |
→ |
b(b(b(x1))) |
(1) |
b(a(a(b(x1)))) |
→ |
x1 |
(2) |
b(a(a(b(x1)))) |
→ |
b(a(a(a(b(x1))))) |
(3) |
Property / Task
Prove or disprove termination.Answer / Result
Yes.Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)
1 String Reversal
Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS
a(a(a(x1))) |
→ |
b(b(b(x1))) |
(1) |
b(a(a(b(x1)))) |
→ |
x1 |
(2) |
b(a(a(b(x1)))) |
→ |
b(a(a(a(b(x1))))) |
(3) |
1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation
The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(a(a(x1))) |
→ |
b#(b(b(x1))) |
(4) |
a#(a(a(x1))) |
→ |
b#(b(x1)) |
(5) |
a#(a(a(x1))) |
→ |
b#(x1) |
(6) |
b#(a(a(b(x1)))) |
→ |
b#(a(a(a(b(x1))))) |
(7) |
b#(a(a(b(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(a(a(b(x1)))) |
