Certification Problem

Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Mixed_SRS/3)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
b#(a(b(x1))) a#(x1) (3)
a#(a(x1)) a#(b(a(x1))) (4)
b#(a(b(x1))) a#(c(a(x1))) (5)
a#(a(x1)) b#(a(x1)) (6)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
