We use the reduction pair processor [15].
The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

C(b(y, c(x))) → C(b(a(0, 0), y))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.

Used ordering:  Matrix interpretation [3]:
Non-tuple symbols: 
| M( b(x1, x2) ) = |  | + |  | · | x1 | + |  | · | x2 | 
| M( a(x1, x2) ) = |  | + |  | · | x1 | + |  | · | x2 | 
Tuple symbols: 
Matrix type: 
We used a basic matrix type which is not further parametrizeable.
As matrix orders are CE-compatible, we used usable rules w.r.t. argument filtering in the order.
The following usable rules [17] were oriented:
c(b(y, c(x))) → c(c(b(a(0, 0), y)))
a(x, y) → b(x, b(0, c(y)))
b(y, 0) → y
