YES

We show the termination of the TRS R:

  f(x,f(f(a(),a()),a())) -> f(f(a(),f(a(),a())),x)

-- SCC decomposition.

Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of

p1: f#(x,f(f(a(),a()),a())) -> f#(f(a(),f(a(),a())),x)
p2: f#(x,f(f(a(),a()),a())) -> f#(a(),f(a(),a()))

and R consists of:

r1: f(x,f(f(a(),a()),a())) -> f(f(a(),f(a(),a())),x)

The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs:

  {p1}


-- Reduction pair.

Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of

p1: f#(x,f(f(a(),a()),a())) -> f#(f(a(),f(a(),a())),x)

and R consists of:

r1: f(x,f(f(a(),a()),a())) -> f(f(a(),f(a(),a())),x)

The set of usable rules consists of

  (no rules)

Take the reduction pair:

  lexicographic combination of reduction pairs:
  
    1. max/plus interpretations on natural numbers:
    
      f#_A(x1,x2) = max{x1 + 11, x2 + 10}
      f_A(x1,x2) = max{1, x1 - 8, x2 - 4}
      a_A = 7
    
    2. max/plus interpretations on natural numbers:
    
      f#_A(x1,x2) = 0
      f_A(x1,x2) = 0
      a_A = 0
    

The next rules are strictly ordered:

  p1

We remove them from the problem.  Then no dependency pair remains.
