YES Termination Proof

Termination Proof

by ttt2 (version ttt2 1.15)

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over (2 x 2)-matrices with strict dimension 1 over the arctic semiring over the integers
[b(x1)] =
0 0
0 1
· x1 +
-∞ -∞
-∞ -∞
[a(x1)] =
2 1
1 0
· x1 +
-∞ -∞
-∞ -∞
the rule
a(b(a(x0))) a(b(b(a(x0))))
remains.

1.1 Bounds

The given TRS is match-bounded by 0. This is shown by the following automaton.
