Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Bouchare_06/13)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Property / Task

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

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

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
