Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

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

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
