Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

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

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
