Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(a(b(x))) → b(b(a(a(x))))
b(a(x)) → a(c(b(x)))

Q is empty.

Termination of the TRS R could be shown with a Match Bound [MATCHBOUNDS1,MATCHBOUNDS2] of 3. This implies Q-termination of R.
The following rules were used to construct the certificate:

a(a(b(x))) → b(b(a(a(x))))
b(a(x)) → a(c(b(x)))

The certificate found is represented by the following graph.

The certificate consists of the following enumerated nodes:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 53, 54, 55, 56

Node 1 is start node and node 2 is final node.

Those nodes are connected through the following edges:

  • 1 to 3 labelled b_1(0)
  • 1 to 6 labelled a_1(0)
  • 1 to 36 labelled a_1(1)
  • 2 to 2 labelled #_1(0)
