Input (TPDB SRS_Relative/Waldmann_19/random-149)

The relative rewrite relation R/S is considered where R is the following TRS

a(c(a(x1))) → b(a(c(x1))) (1)
a(b(b(x1))) → a(a(c(x1))) (2)
b(a(c(x1))) → c(c(a(x1))) (3)

and S is the following TRS.

a(c(a(x1))) → a(c(c(x1))) (4)
a(b(b(x1))) → a(b(b(x1))) (5)
a(b(b(x1))) → a(b(a(x1))) (6)
b(c(c(x1))) → c(b(c(x1))) (7)

Yes.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the matrix interpretations of dimension 1 with strict dimension 1 over the rationals with delta = 1
[c(x1)] = x1 +
0
[b(x1)] = x1 +
1
[a(x1)] = x1 +
1
all of the following rules can be deleted.
a(b(b(x1))) → a(a(c(x1))) (2)
b(a(c(x1))) → c(c(a(x1))) (3)
a(c(a(x1))) → a(c(c(x1))) (4)
a(b(b(x1))) → a(b(b(x1))) (5)

1.1 Closure Under Flat Contexts

Using the flat contexts

{c(☐), b(☐), a(☐)}

We obtain the transformed TRS
c(a(c(a(x1)))) → c(b(a(c(x1)))) (8)
c(a(b(b(x1)))) → c(a(b(a(x1)))) (9)
c(b(c(c(x1)))) → c(c(b(c(x1)))) (10)
b(a(c(a(x1)))) → b(b(a(c(x1)))) (11)
b(a(b(b(x1)))) → b(a(b(a(x1)))) (12)
b(b(c(c(x1)))) → b(c(b(c(x1)))) (13)
a(a(c(a(x1)))) → a(b(a(c(x1)))) (14)
a(a(b(b(x1)))) → a(a(b(a(x1)))) (15)
a(b(c(c(x1)))) → a(c(b(c(x1)))) (16)

1.1.1 Semantic Labeling

The following interpretations form a model of the rules.

As carrier we take the set {0,1,2}. Symbols are labeled by the interpretation of their arguments using the interpretations (modulo 3):

[c(x1)] = 3x1 + 0
[b(x1)] = 3x1 + 1
[a(x1)] = 3x1 + 2

We obtain the labeled TRS
a2(a0(c2(a2(x1)))) → a1(b2(a0(c2(x1)))) (17)
a2(a0(c2(a0(x1)))) → a1(b2(a0(c0(x1)))) (18)
a2(a0(c2(a1(x1)))) → a1(b2(a0(c1(x1)))) (19)
c2(a0(c2(a2(x1)))) → c1(b2(a0(c2(x1)))) (20)
c2(a0(c2(a0(x1)))) → c1(b2(a0(c0(x1)))) (21)
c2(a0(c2(a1(x1)))) → c1(b2(a0(c1(x1)))) (22)
b2(a0(c2(a2(x1)))) → b1(b2(a0(c2(x1)))) (23)
b2(a0(c2(a0(x1)))) → b1(b2(a0(c0(x1)))) (24)
b2(a0(c2(a1(x1)))) → b1(b2(a0(c1(x1)))) (25)
a2(a1(b1(b2(x1)))) → a2(a1(b2(a2(x1)))) (26)
a2(a1(b1(b0(x1)))) → a2(a1(b2(a0(x1)))) (27)
a2(a1(b1(b1(x1)))) → a2(a1(b2(a1(x1)))) (28)
c2(a1(b1(b2(x1)))) → c2(a1(b2(a2(x1)))) (29)
c2(a1(b1(b0(x1)))) → c2(a1(b2(a0(x1)))) (30)
c2(a1(b1(b1(x1)))) → c2(a1(b2(a1(x1)))) (31)
b2(a1(b1(b2(x1)))) → b2(a1(b2(a2(x1)))) (32)
b2(a1(b1(b0(x1)))) → b2(a1(b2(a0(x1)))) (33)
b2(a1(b1(b1(x1)))) → b2(a1(b2(a1(x1)))) (34)
a1(b0(c0(c2(x1)))) → a0(c1(b0(c2(x1)))) (35)
a1(b0(c0(c0(x1)))) → a0(c1(b0(c0(x1)))) (36)
a1(b0(c0(c1(x1)))) → a0(c1(b0(c1(x1)))) (37)
c1(b0(c0(c2(x1)))) → c0(c1(b0(c2(x1)))) (38)
c1(b0(c0(c0(x1)))) → c0(c1(b0(c0(x1)))) (39)
c1(b0(c0(c1(x1)))) → c0(c1(b0(c1(x1)))) (40)
b1(b0(c0(c2(x1)))) → b0(c1(b0(c2(x1)))) (41)
b1(b0(c0(c0(x1)))) → b0(c1(b0(c0(x1)))) (42)
b1(b0(c0(c1(x1)))) → b0(c1(b0(c1(x1)))) (43)
