Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| 
a(b(a(x0))) | 
→ | 
b(b(b(a(x0)))) | 
| 
b(b(b(a(x0)))) | 
→ | 
a(a(a(b(x0)))) | 
Proof
1 String Reversal
        Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS        
        
| 
a(b(a(x0))) | 
→ | 
a(b(b(b(x0)))) | 
| 
a(b(b(b(x0)))) | 
→ | 
b(a(a(a(x0)))) | 
1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation
          The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
          
| 
a#(b(a(x0))) | 
→ | 
a#(b(b(b(x0)))) | 
| 
a#(b(b(b(x0)))) | 
→ | 
a#(x0) | 
| 
a#(b(b(b(x0)))) | 
→ | 
a#(a(x0)) | 
| 
a#(b(b(b(x0)))) | 
→ | 
a#(a(a(x0))) |
