YES

We show the termination of the TRS R:

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

-- SCC decomposition.

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

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

and R consists of:

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

The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs:

  {p1}


-- Reduction pair.

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

p1: f#(f(a(),f(a(),a())),x) -> f#(x,f(f(a(),a()),a()))

and R consists of:

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

The set of usable rules consists of

  (no rules)

Take the reduction pair:

  lexicographic combination of reduction pairs:
  
    1. matrix interpretations:
    
      carrier: N^2
      order: standard order
      interpretations:
        f#_A(x1,x2) = ((0,1),(1,0)) x1 + ((1,1),(1,0)) x2
        f_A(x1,x2) = x1 + x2 + (0,2)
        a_A() = (1,1)
    
    2. matrix interpretations:
    
      carrier: N^2
      order: standard order
      interpretations:
        f#_A(x1,x2) = ((1,1),(0,1)) x2
        f_A(x1,x2) = x1
        a_A() = (1,1)
    
    3. matrix interpretations:
    
      carrier: N^2
      order: standard order
      interpretations:
        f#_A(x1,x2) = ((1,0),(1,0)) x2
        f_A(x1,x2) = ((0,1),(1,0)) x1
        a_A() = (1,1)
    

The next rules are strictly ordered:

  p1

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