Input (TPDB SRS_Relative/Waldmann_19/random-202)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(a(a(x1))) b(b(c(x1))) (1)
b(b(b(x1))) c(c(b(x1))) (2)
a(c(a(x1))) b(c(b(x1))) (3)
b(c(b(x1))) a(c(c(x1))) (4)
c(c(a(x1))) b(b(a(x1))) (5)
c(a(a(x1))) b(b(c(x1))) (6)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Closure Under Flat Contexts

Using the flat contexts

{c(), b(), a()}

We obtain the transformed TRS
c(a(a(a(x1)))) c(b(b(c(x1)))) (7)
c(b(b(b(x1)))) c(c(c(b(x1)))) (8)
c(a(c(a(x1)))) c(b(c(b(x1)))) (9)
c(b(c(b(x1)))) c(a(c(c(x1)))) (10)
c(c(c(a(x1)))) c(b(b(a(x1)))) (11)
c(c(a(a(x1)))) c(b(b(c(x1)))) (12)
b(a(a(a(x1)))) b(b(b(c(x1)))) (13)
b(b(b(b(x1)))) b(c(c(b(x1)))) (14)
b(a(c(a(x1)))) b(b(c(b(x1)))) (15)
b(b(c(b(x1)))) b(a(c(c(x1)))) (16)
b(c(c(a(x1)))) b(b(b(a(x1)))) (17)
b(c(a(a(x1)))) b(b(b(c(x1)))) (18)
a(a(a(a(x1)))) a(b(b(c(x1)))) (19)
a(b(b(b(x1)))) a(c(c(b(x1)))) (20)
a(a(c(a(x1)))) a(b(c(b(x1)))) (21)
a(b(c(b(x1)))) a(a(c(c(x1)))) (22)
a(c(c(a(x1)))) a(b(b(a(x1)))) (23)
a(c(a(a(x1)))) a(b(b(c(x1)))) (24)

1.1 Semantic Labeling

The following interpretations form a model of the rules.

As carrier we take the set {0,1,2}. Symbols are labeled by the interpretation of their arguments using the interpretations (modulo 3):

[c(x1)] = 3x1 + 0
[b(x1)] = 3x1 + 1
[a(x1)] = 3x1 + 2

We obtain the labeled TRS

a2(a2(a2(a1(x1)))) a1(b1(b0(c1(x1)))) (26)
