(0) Obligation:

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

a(a(a(x1))) → a(b(b(x1)))
b(a(b(x1))) → a(b(a(x1)))

Q is empty.

(1) QTRS Reverse (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We applied the QTRS Reverse Processor [REVERSE].

(2) Obligation:

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

a(a(a(x))) → b(b(a(x)))
b(a(b(x))) → a(b(a(x)))

Q is empty.

(3) NonTerminationProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We used the non-termination processor [OPPELT08] to show that the SRS problem is infinite.
