Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| 
a(b(b(a(x0)))) | 
→ | 
b(a(a(b(x0)))) | 
| 
b(a(b(x0))) | 
→ | 
a(b(b(b(x0)))) | 
Proof
1 Rule Removal
      Using the
      linear polynomial interpretation over (3 x 3)-matrices with strict dimension 1 
            over the naturals
| [b(x1)] | 
 =  | 
 · 
                    x1 + 
 | 
| [a(x1)] | 
 =  | 
 · 
                    x1 + 
 | 
          the
          rule
| 
b(a(b(x0))) | 
→ | 
a(b(b(b(x0)))) | 
          remains.
        1.1 Rule Removal
      Using the
      Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight function
| prec(b) | 
= | 
1 | 
 | 
weight(b) | 
= | 
0 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| prec(a) | 
= | 
0 | 
 | 
weight(a) | 
= | 
1 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
          all rules could be removed.
        1.1.1 R is empty 
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
