Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| 
c(b(a(a(x0)))) | 
→ | 
a(a(b(c(x0)))) | 
| 
b(a(a(a(x0)))) | 
→ | 
a(a(a(b(x0)))) | 
| 
a(b(c(x0))) | 
→ | 
c(b(a(x0))) | 
| 
c(c(b(b(x0)))) | 
→ | 
b(b(c(c(x0)))) |

      Using the
      linear polynomial interpretation over (4 x 4)-matrices with strict dimension 1 
            over the naturals

          the
          rules
| 
c(b(a(a(x0)))) | 
→ | 
a(a(b(c(x0)))) | 
| 
b(a(a(a(x0)))) |

a(a(a(b(x0)))) | 
| 
a(b(c(x0))) | 
→ | 
c(b(a(x0))) | 
          remain.
        1.1 String Reversal
        Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS        
        
| 
a(a(b(c(x0)))) | 
→ | 
c(b(a(a(x0)))) | 
| 
a(a(a(b(x0)))) | 
→ | 
b(a(a(a(x0)))) | 
| 
c(b(a(x0))) | 
→ | 
a(b(c(x0))) | 
1.1.1 Rule Removal
      Using the
      linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
| [b(x1)] | 
 =  | 
1 · 
                    x1 + 1 | 
| [a(x1)] | 
 =  | 
2 · 
                    x1 + 1 | 
| [c(x1)] | 
 =  | 
4 · 
                    x1 + 3 | 
          the
          rule
| 
a(a(b(c(x0)))) | 
→ | 
c(b(a(a(x0)))) | 
          remains.
        1.1.1.1 Rule Removal
      Using the
      Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight function
| prec(c) | 
= | 
0 | 
 | 
weight(c) | 
= | 
1 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| prec(b) | 
= | 
0 | 
 | 
weight(b) | 
= | 
1 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| prec(a) | 
= | 
1 | 
 | 
weight(a) | 
= | 
0 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
          all rules could be removed.
        1.1.1.1.1 R is empty 
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
