Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Secret_06_TRS/gen-10)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(b(a,z)) z (1)
b(y,b(a,z)) b(f(c(y,y,a)),b(f(z),a)) (2)
f(f(f(c(z,x,a)))) b(f(x),z) (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
b#(y,b(a,z)) f#(c(y,y,a)) (4)
f#(f(f(c(z,x,a)))) f#(x) (5)
f#(f(f(c(z,x,a)))) b#(f(x),z) (6)
b#(y,b(a,z)) b#(f(z),a) (7)
b#(y,b(a,z)) b#(f(c(y,y,a)),b(f(z),a)) (8)
b#(y,b(a,z)) f#(z) (9)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
