Termination Proof

by ttt2 (version ttt2 1.15)

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(x0) → x0
a(b(x0)) → c(b(a(x0)))
b(x0) → a(x0)
c(c(x0)) → b(x0)

Proof

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(b(x0)) → a#(x0)
a#(b(x0)) → b#(a(x0))
a#(b(x0)) → c#(b(a(x0)))
b#(x0) → a#(x0)
c#(c(x0)) → b#(x0)
