YES

We show the termination of the TRS R:

  f(x,f(a(),y)) -> f(a(),f(f(f(a(),x),h(a())),y))

-- SCC decomposition.

Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of

p1: f#(x,f(a(),y)) -> f#(a(),f(f(f(a(),x),h(a())),y))
p2: f#(x,f(a(),y)) -> f#(f(f(a(),x),h(a())),y)
p3: f#(x,f(a(),y)) -> f#(f(a(),x),h(a()))
p4: f#(x,f(a(),y)) -> f#(a(),x)

and R consists of:

r1: f(x,f(a(),y)) -> f(a(),f(f(f(a(),x),h(a())),y))

The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs:

  {p1, p2, p4}


-- Reduction pair.

Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of

p1: f#(x,f(a(),y)) -> f#(a(),f(f(f(a(),x),h(a())),y))
p2: f#(x,f(a(),y)) -> f#(a(),x)
p3: f#(x,f(a(),y)) -> f#(f(f(a(),x),h(a())),y)

and R consists of:

r1: f(x,f(a(),y)) -> f(a(),f(f(f(a(),x),h(a())),y))

The set of usable rules consists of

  r1

Take the reduction pair:

  matrix interpretations:
  
    carrier: N^2
    order: standard order
    interpretations:
      f#_A(x1,x2) = ((0,1),(0,1)) x1 + ((0,1),(0,1)) x2
      f_A(x1,x2) = ((0,0),(1,0)) x1 + x2 + (0,1)
      a_A() = (2,2)
      h_A(x1) = (1,1)

The next rules are strictly ordered:

  p2, p3

We remove them from the problem.

We remove them from the problem.  Then no dependency pair remains.
