Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Bouchare_06/02)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(b(a(x1))) b(a(x1)) (1)
b(b(b(x1))) b(a(b(x1))) (2)
a(a(x1)) b(b(b(x1))) (3)

Property / Task

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
b#(b(b(x1))) a#(b(x1)) (4)
a#(a(x1)) b#(x1) (5)
a#(a(x1)) b#(b(b(x1))) (6)
b#(b(b(x1))) b#(a(b(x1))) (7)
a#(a(x1)) b#(b(x1)) (8)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
