Using Dependency Pairs [1,15] we result in the following initial DP problem:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

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:
