Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
app#(app(F,app(app(F,f),x)),x) app#(F,app(G,app(app(F,f),x))) (2)
app#(app(F,app(app(F,f),x)),x) app#(G,app(app(F,f),x)) (3)
app#(app(F,app(app(F,f),x)),x) app#(app(F,app(G,app(app(F,f),x))),app(f,x)) (4)
app#(app(F,app(app(F,f),x)),x) app#(f,x) (5)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
