Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Secret_06_TRS/9)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(x,y) b(x,b(0,c(y))) (1)
c(b(y,c(x))) c(c(b(a(0,0),y))) (2)
b(y,0) y (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(x,y) b#(x,b(0,c(y))) (4)
a#(x,y) b#(0,c(y)) (5)
a#(x,y) c#(y) (6)
c#(b(y,c(x))) c#(c(b(a(0,0),y))) (7)
c#(b(y,c(x))) c#(b(a(0,0),y)) (8)
c#(b(y,c(x))) b#(a(0,0),y) (9)
c#(b(y,c(x))) a#(0,0) (10)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
