Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| 
a(b(a(x0))) | 
→ | 
a(b(b(a(x0)))) | 
| 
b(b(b(x0))) | 
→ | 
b(b(x0)) | 
Proof
1 Rule Removal
      Using the
      linear polynomial interpretation over (2 x 2)-matrices with strict dimension 1 
            over the arctic semiring over the integers
| [b(x1)] | 
 =  | 
 · 
                    x1 + 
 | 
| [a(x1)] | 
 =  | 
 · 
                    x1 + 
 | 
          the
          rule
| 
a(b(a(x0))) | 
→ | 
a(b(b(a(x0)))) | 
          remains.
        1.1 Bounds
        The given TRS is 
        match-bounded by 0.
        This is shown by the following automaton.
