Certification Problem

Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Zantema_04/z111)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(a(x1)) b(c(c(c(x1)))) (1)
b(c(x1)) d(d(d(d(x1)))) (2)
a(x1) d(c(d(x1))) (3)
b(b(x1)) c(c(c(x1))) (4)
c(c(x1)) d(d(d(x1))) (5)
c(d(d(x1))) a(x1) (6)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions
prec(d) = 0 weight(d) = 2
prec(b) = 1 weight(b) = 5
prec(c) = 3 weight(c) = 3
prec(a) = 2 weight(a) = 7
all of the following rules can be deleted.
a(a(x1)) b(c(c(c(x1)))) (1)
b(c(x1)) d(d(d(d(x1)))) (2)
a(x1) d(c(d(x1))) (3)
b(b(x1)) c(c(c(x1))) (4)
c(c(x1)) d(d(d(x1))) (5)
c(d(d(x1))) a(x1) (6)

1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
