Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Zantema_04/z072)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(l(x1)) l(a(x1)) (1)
r(a(a(x1))) a(a(r(x1))) (2)
b(l(x1)) b(a(r(x1))) (3)
r(b(x1)) l(b(x1)) (4)

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.
r#(a(a(x1))) a#(r(x1)) (5)
b#(l(x1)) r#(x1) (6)
a#(l(x1)) a#(x1) (7)
b#(l(x1)) a#(r(x1)) (8)
r#(a(a(x1))) r#(x1) (9)
r#(a(a(x1))) a#(a(r(x1))) (10)
b#(l(x1)) b#(a(r(x1))) (11)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 3 components.
