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(g(h(x, y)), f(a, a)) → f(h(x, x), g(f(y, a)))

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

[g₁, h₂] > [f₂, a]

Status:

a: multiset
g₁: multiset
f₂: [1,2]
h₂: multiset

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

f(g(h(x, y)), f(a, a)) → f(h(x, x), g(f(y, a)))

(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
