        1.1 String Reversal
        Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS        
        
| 
a(x0) | 
→ | 
x0 | 
| 
c(b(a(x0))) | 
→ | 
a(b(a(c(c(x0))))) | 
| 
c(x0) | 
→ | 
x0 |

        1.1.1.1.1.1 R is empty 
There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
