Prover = TRS(tech=PATTERN_RULES, nb_unfoldings=unlimited, max_nb_unfolded_rules=200)

** BEGIN proof argument **
All the DP problems were proved finite.
As all the involved DP processors are sound,
the TRS under analysis terminates.
** END proof argument **

** BEGIN proof description **
## Searching for a generalized rewrite rule
(a rule whose right-hand side contains a variable
that does not occur in the left-hand side)...
No generalized rewrite rule found!

## Applying the DP framework...
## Round 1:
  ## DP problem: 
  Dependency pairs = [a^#(a(_0)) -> a^#(_0)]
  TRS = {a(a(_0)) -> a(b(a(_0)))}
    ## Trying with homeomorphic embeddings... Success!
  This DP problem is finite.
