Input (TPDB SRS_Relative/Mixed_relative_SRS/zr08)

The relative rewrite relation R/S is considered where R is the following TRS

b(b(x1)) c(d(x1)) (1)
c(c(x1)) d(d(d(x1))) (2)
d(d(d(x1))) a(c(x1)) (3)

and S is the following TRS.

a(a(x1)) b(c(x1)) (4)
b(c(x1)) a(a(x1)) (5)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the matrix interpretations of dimension 1 with strict dimension 1 over the rationals with delta = 1
[d(x1)] = x1 +
33
[c(x1)] = x1 +
50
[b(x1)] = x1 +
42
[a(x1)] = x1 +
46
all of the following rules can be deleted.
b(b(x1)) c(d(x1)) (1)
c(c(x1)) d(d(d(x1))) (2)
d(d(d(x1))) a(c(x1)) (3)

1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
