Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

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

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
