Termination w.r.t. Q of the following Term Rewriting System could be proven:

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

active(f(f(a))) → mark(f(g(f(a))))
mark(f(X)) → active(f(mark(X)))
mark(a) → active(a)
mark(g(X)) → active(g(X))
f(mark(X)) → f(X)
f(active(X)) → f(X)
g(mark(X)) → g(X)
g(active(X)) → g(X)

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

active(f(f(a))) → mark(f(g(f(a))))
mark(f(X)) → active(f(mark(X)))
mark(a) → active(a)
mark(g(X)) → active(g(X))
f(mark(X)) → f(X)
f(active(X)) → f(X)
g(mark(X)) → g(X)
g(active(X)) → g(X)

Q is empty.

Termination of the TRS R could be shown with a Match Bound [6,7] of 4. This implies Q-termination of R.
The following rules were used to construct the certificate:

active(f(f(a))) → mark(f(g(f(a))))
mark(f(X)) → active(f(mark(X)))
mark(a) → active(a)
mark(g(X)) → active(g(X))
f(mark(X)) → f(X)
f(active(X)) → f(X)
g(mark(X)) → g(X)
g(active(X)) → g(X)

The certificate found is represented by the following graph.

The certificate consists of the following enumerated nodes:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 8, 11, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 16, 18, 19, 28, 29, 27, 30, 32, 31, 33

Node 1 is start node and node 2 is final node.

Those nodes are connect through the following edges:
