Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(f(X)) → f(g(f(g(f(X)))))
f(g(f(X))) → f(g(X))

Q is empty.

Termination of the TRS R could be shown with a Match Bound [MATCHBOUNDS1,MATCHBOUNDS2] of 2. This implies Q-termination of R.
The following rules were used to construct the certificate:

f(f(X)) → f(g(f(g(f(X)))))
f(g(f(X))) → f(g(X))

The certificate found is represented by the following graph.

The certificate consists of the following enumerated nodes:

2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 23, 26

Node 2 is start node and node 4 is final node.

Those nodes are connected through the following edges:

  • 2 to 6 labelled f_1(0)
  • 2 to 17 labelled f_1(1)
  • 2 to 13 labelled f_1(1)
  • 2 to 23 labelled f_1(2)
  • 2 to 26 labelled f_1(2)
  • 4 to 4 labelled #_1(0)
  • 6 to 7 labelled g_1(0)
  • 6 to 4 labelled g_1(0)
  • 7 to 9 labelled f_1(0)
  • 7 to 13 labelled f_1(1)
  • 7 to 23 labelled f_1(2)
  • 7 to 17 labelled f_1(1)
  • 7 to 26 labelled f_1(2)
  • 9 to 10 labelled g_1(0)
  • 10 to 4 labelled f_1(0)
  • 10 to 13 labelled f_1(1)
  • 10 to 23 labelled f_1(2)
  • 10 to 26 labelled f_1(2)
