Termination Proof

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

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

1.1 Reduction Pair Processor with Usable Rules

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the arctic semiring over the integers
[b#(x1)] = 9 · x1 + 0
[a(x1)] = 1 · x1 + 2
[a#(x1)] = 11 · x1 + -16
[b(x1)] = -1 · x1 + 0
[c(x1)] = 1 · x1 + 15
together with the usable rules
a(b(x0)) x0
a(c(x0)) c(b(c(c(x0))))
b(c(x0)) a(b(x0))
(w.r.t. the implicit argument filter of the reduction pair), the pair
b#(c(x0)) a#(b(x0))
remains.

1.1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 0 components.
