Termination w.r.t. Q of the given QTRS could be proven:

(0) Obligation:

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

f(x, a) → x
f(x, g(y)) → f(g(x), y)

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Precedence:

f₂ > g₁
a > g₁

Status:

a: multiset
f₂: [2,1]
g₁: [1]

With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

f(x, a) → x
f(x, g(y)) → f(g(x), y)

(2) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
R is empty.
Q is empty.

(3) RisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS R is empty. Hence, termination is trivially proven.

(4) TRUE
