Termination Proof

by ttt2 (version ttt2 1.15)

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(x0)	→	x0
a(a(x0))	→	a(b(c(x0)))
c(b(x0))	→	a(c(a(x0)))

Proof

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.

a^#(a(x0))	→	c^#(x0)
a^#(a(x0))	→	a^#(b(c(x0)))
c^#(b(x0))	→	a^#(x0)
c^#(b(x0))	→	c^#(a(x0))
c^#(b(x0))	→	a^#(c(a(x0)))

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.

The 1^st component contains the pairs

c^#(b(x0))	→	c^#(a(x0))
c^#(b(x0))	→	a^#(c(a(x0)))
a^#(a(x0))	→	c^#(x0)
c^#(b(x0))	→	a^#(x0)

(w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the pairs

c^#(b(x0))	→	c^#(a(x0))
c^#(b(x0))	→	a^#(c(a(x0)))
c^#(b(x0))	→	a^#(x0)

remain.

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.

The 1^st component contains the pair

c^#(b(x0))

→

(w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), all pairs could be removed.

1.1.1.1.1.1 P is empty

There are no pairs anymore.
