Termination Proof

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

b(b(b(x0))) a(a(b(x0)))
b(a(a(x0))) a(a(b(x0)))
a(a(x0)) b(a(b(x0)))

Proof

1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over (3 x 3)-matrices with strict dimension 1 over the arctic semiring over the integers
[a(x1)] =
0 0 0
-∞ -∞ 0
1 2 -∞
· x1 +
-∞ -∞ -∞
-∞ -∞ -∞
-∞ -∞ -∞
[b(x1)] =
0 1 -∞
0 1 -∞
-∞ 0 -∞
· x1 +
-∞ -∞ -∞
-∞ -∞ -∞
-∞ -∞ -∞
the rules
b(b(b(x0))) a(a(b(x0)))
b(a(a(x0))) a(a(b(x0)))
remain.

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the arctic semiring over the integers
[a(x1)] = 4 · x1 + -∞
[b(x1)] = 8 · x1 + -∞
the rule
b(a(a(x0))) a(a(b(x0)))
remains.

1.1.1 Rule Removal

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight function
prec(a) = 0 weight(a) = 1
prec(b) = 1 weight(b) = 1
all rules could be removed.

1.1.1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
