Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| 
a(x0) | 
→ | 
b(x0) | 
| 
b(b(x0)) | 
→ | 
c(x0) | 
| 
c(a(c(x0))) | 
→ | 
a(b(c(a(x0)))) | 
Proof
1 String Reversal
        Since only unary symbols occur, one can reverse all terms and obtains the TRS        
        
| 
a(x0) | 
→ | 
b(x0) | 
| 
b(b(x0)) | 
→ | 
c(x0) | 
| 
c(a(c(x0))) | 
→ | 
a(c(b(a(x0)))) | 
1.1 Dependency Pair Transformation
          The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
          
| 
a#(x0) | 
→ | 
b#(x0) | 
| 
b#(b(x0)) | 
→ | 
c#(x0) | 
| 
c#(a(c(x0))) | 
→ | 
a#(x0) | 
| 
c#(a(c(x0))) | 
→ | 
b#(a(x0)) | 
| 
c#(a(c(x0))) | 
→ | 
c#(b(a(x0))) | 
| 
c#(a(c(x0))) | 
→ | 
a#(c(b(a(x0)))) |
