Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

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

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
