Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Secret_06_SRS/2)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(a(a(b(x1)))) b(a(b(a(x1)))) (1)
b(b(a(x1))) a(a(b(a(x1)))) (2)

Property / Task

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
b#(b(a(x1))) a#(b(a(x1))) (3)
b#(b(a(x1))) a#(a(b(a(x1)))) (4)
a#(a(a(b(x1)))) b#(a(x1)) (5)
a#(a(a(b(x1)))) b#(a(b(a(x1)))) (6)
a#(a(a(b(x1)))) a#(x1) (7)
a#(a(a(b(x1)))) a#(b(a(x1))) (8)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
