Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_07_size12/size-12-alpha-3-num-467)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(x1) b#(c(b(x1))) (4)
a#(x1) c#(b(x1)) (5)
a#(x1) b#(x1) (6)
b#(b(c(x1))) c#(a(b(x1))) (7)
b#(b(c(x1))) a#(b(x1)) (8)
b#(b(c(x1))) b#(x1) (9)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
