Termination Proof Script

Consider the TRS R consisting of the rewrite rules
1:    a(a(x))  → b(b(x))
2:    b(b(a(x)))  → a(b(b(x)))
There are 5 dependency pairs:
3:    A(a(x))  → B(b(x))
4:    A(a(x))  → B(x)
5:    B(b(a(x)))  → A(b(b(x)))
6:    B(b(a(x)))  → B(b(x))
7:    B(b(a(x)))  → B(x)
Consider the SCC {3-7}. By taking the AF π with π(A) = π(b) = π(B) = 1 together with the lexicographic path order with empty precedence, rule 2 is weakly decreasing and the rules in {1,3-7} are strictly decreasing. Hence the TRS is terminating.
