YES Termination Proof

Termination Proof

by ttt2 (version ttt2 1.15)

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(b(b(x0))) a#(x0)
a#(b(b(x0))) a#(a(x0))
a#(b(b(x0))) a#(a(a(x0)))

all pairs could be removed.

1.1.1 P is empty

There are no pairs anymore.
