Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_07_size12/size-12-alpha-3-num-503)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

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

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
