The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

+(a,b) +(b,a) (1)
+(a,+(b,z)) +(b,+(a,z)) (2)
+(+(x,y),z) +(x,+(y,z)) (3)
f(a,y) a (4)
f(b,y) b (5)
f(+(x,y),z) +(f(x,z),f(y,z)) (6)

Yes.

Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
+#(a,+(b,z)) +#(a,z) (7)
+#(+(x,y),z) +#(x,+(y,z)) (8)
+#(+(x,y),z) +#(y,z) (9)
f#(+(x,y),z) f#(y,z) (10)
f#(+(x,y),z) +#(f(x,z),f(y,z)) (11)
+#(a,+(b,z)) +#(b,+(a,z)) (12)
+#(a,b) +#(b,a) (13)
f#(+(x,y),z) f#(x,z) (14)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 3 components.
