Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) b#(x1) (3)
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) b#(b(x1)) (4)
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) b#(b(b(x1))) (5)
a#(a(b(a(x1)))) a#(b(b(b(x1)))) (6)
b#(b(b(x1))) a#(x1) (7)
b#(b(b(x1))) a#(a(x1)) (8)
b#(b(b(x1))) a#(a(a(x1))) (9)
b#(b(b(x1))) b#(a(a(a(x1)))) (10)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
