Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Zantema_05/z02)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(f,a(f,x)) a(x,g) (1)
a(x,g) a(f,a(g,a(f,x))) (2)

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#(f,a(f,x)) a#(x,g) (3)
a#(x,g) a#(f,a(g,a(f,x))) (4)
a#(x,g) a#(g,a(f,x)) (5)
a#(x,g) a#(f,x) (6)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
