Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Wenzel_16/abaaaaaa-aaaaaaabaaab.srs)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(b(a(a(a(a(a(a(x1)))))))) a(a(a(a(a(a(a(b(a(a(a(b(x1)))))))))))) (1)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Semantic Labeling

Root-labeling is applied.

We obtain the labeled TRS
ab(ba(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(x1)))))))) aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(ab(ba(aa(aa(ab(ba(x1)))))))))))) (2)
ab(ba(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(ab(x1)))))))) aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(ab(ba(aa(aa(ab(bb(x1)))))))))))) (3)

1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
ab#(ba(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(x1)))))))) ab#(ba(aa(aa(ab(ba(x1)))))) (4)
ab#(ba(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(x1)))))))) ab#(ba(x1)) (5)
ab#(ba(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(ab(x1)))))))) ab#(ba(aa(aa(ab(bb(x1)))))) (6)
ab#(ba(aa(aa(aa(aa(aa(ab(x1)))))))) ab#(bb(x1)) (7)

1.1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
