Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Zantema_05/z03)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(g,a(f,a(g,x))) a#(f,a(f,a(g,x))) (3)
a#(f,a(g,a(f,x))) a#(f,a(g,a(g,a(f,x)))) (4)
a#(g,a(f,a(g,x))) a#(g,a(f,a(f,a(g,x)))) (5)
a#(f,a(g,a(f,x))) a#(g,a(g,a(f,x))) (6)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
