YES Termination w.r.t. Q proof of /home/cern_httpd/provide/research/cycsrs/tpdb/TPDB-d9b80194f163/SRS_Standard/Zantema_04/z026.srs

(0) Obligation:

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

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

Q is empty.

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(2) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

A(b(b(x))) → A(a(x))
A(b(b(x))) → A(x)
A(a(b(x))) → A(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(3) MRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the rule removal processor [LPAR04] with the following ordering, at least one Dependency Pair or term rewrite system rule of this QDP problem can be strictly oriented.
Strictly oriented dependency pairs:

A(b(b(x))) → A(a(x))
A(b(b(x))) → A(x)
A(a(b(x))) → A(x)


Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(A(x1)) = x1   
POL(a(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(b(x1)) = 1 + x1   

(4) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(5) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
