The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent. By [19] we can switch to innermost.

Using Dependency Pairs [1,15] we result in the following initial DP problem:

By using the subterm criterion [20] together with the size-change analysis [32] we have proven that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

From the DPs we obtained the following set of size-change graphs:
