Certification Problem
Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_19/random-234)
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
|
a(b(b(a(x1)))) |
→ |
b(b(a(a(x1)))) |
(1) |
|
b(b(b(a(x1)))) |
→ |
a(a(a(a(x1)))) |
(2) |
|
a(b(a(a(x1)))) |
→ |
b(a(b(b(x1)))) |
(3) |
Property / Task
Prove or disprove termination.Answer / Result
Yes.Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)
1 String Reversal
Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS
|
a(b(b(a(x1)))) |
→ |
a(a(b(b(x1)))) |
(4) |
|
a(b(b(b(x1)))) |
→ |
a(a(a(a(x1)))) |
(5) |
|
a(a(b(a(x1)))) |
→ |
b(b(a(b(x1)))) |
(6) |
1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation
The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
|
a#(b(b(a(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(b(b(x1))) |
(7) |
|
a#(b(b(a(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(a(b(b(x1)))) |
(8) |
|
a#(b(b(b(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(x1) |
(9) |
|
a#(b(b(b(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(a(x1)) |
(10) |
|
a#(b(b(b(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(a(a(x1))) |
(11) |
|
a#(b(b(b(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(a(a(a(x1)))) |
(12) |
|
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(b(x1)) |
(13) |
1.1.1 Subterm Criterion Processor
We use the projection to multisets
| π(a#)
|
= |
{
1
}
|
| π(b)
|
= |
{
1, 1
}
|
| π(a)
|
= |
{
1, 1
}
|
to remove the pairs:
|
a#(b(b(a(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(b(b(x1))) |
(7) |
|
a#(b(b(b(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(x1) |
(9) |
|
a#(b(b(b(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(a(x1)) |
(10) |
|
a#(b(b(b(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(a(a(x1))) |
(11) |
|
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) |
→ |
a#(b(x1)) |
