The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

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

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
