b(a(b(b(x1)))) b(b(b(x1))) (2)
b(b(b(x1))) b(b(a(a(b(a(b(x1))))))) (3)

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
b#(b(a(b(x1)))) b#(b(x1)) (4)
b#(b(a(b(x1)))) b#(b(b(x1))) (5)
b#(b(a(b(x1)))) b#(b(b(b(x1)))) (6)
b#(b(a(b(x1)))) b#(a(b(b(b(b(x1)))))) (7)
b#(a(b(b(x1)))) b#(b(b(x1))) (8)
b#(b(b(x1))) b#(a(b(x1))) (9)
b#(b(b(x1))) b#(a(a(b(a(b(x1)))))) (10)
b#(b(b(x1))) b#(b(a(a(b(a(b(x1))))))) (11)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
