Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| 
c(c(x0)) | 
→ | 
a(a(a(b(b(b(x0)))))) | 
| 
b(b(b(a(x0)))) | 
→ | 
b(b(b(b(b(b(b(b(x0)))))))) | 
| 
b(b(c(c(x0)))) | 
→ | 
c(c(c(a(a(a(a(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)] | 
 =  | 
 · 
                    x1 + 
 | 
| [c(x1)] | 
 =  | 
 · 
                    x1 + 
 | 
| [a(x1)] | 
 =  | 
 · 
                    x1 + 
 | 
          the
          rules
| 
b(b(b(a(x0)))) | 
→ | 
b(b(b(b(b(b(b(b(x0)))))))) | 
| 
b(b(c(c(x0)))) | 
→ | 
c(c(c(a(a(a(a(x0))))))) | 
          remain.
        1.1 String Reversal
        Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS        
        
| 
a(b(b(b(x0)))) | 
→ | 
b(b(b(b(b(b(b(b(x0)))))))) | 
| 
c(c(b(b(x0)))) | 
→ | 
a(a(a(a(c(c(c(x0))))))) | 
1.1.1 Bounds
        The given TRS is 
        match-bounded by 0.
        This is shown by the following automaton.
