Certification Problem

Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_19/random-425)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

b(a(a(b(x1)))) → b(b(b(a(x1)))) (1)
b(b(b(b(x1)))) → a(b(b(b(x1)))) (2)
b(a(b(b(x1)))) → b(a(b(a(x1)))) (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#(a(b(b(x1)))) → b#(a(x1)) (4)
b#(a(a(b(x1)))) → b#(a(x1)) (5)
b#(a(a(b(x1)))) → b#(b(b(a(x1)))) (6)
b#(a(b(b(x1)))) → b#(a(b(a(x1)))) (7)
b#(a(a(b(x1)))) → b#(b(a(x1))) (8)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
