Input (TPDB SRS_Relative/Mixed_relative_SRS/zr12)

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

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

and S is the following TRS.

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

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.
