YES

We show the termination of the TRS R:

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

-- SCC decomposition.

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

p1: f#(x,g(y)) -> f#(g(x),y)

and R consists of:

r1: f(x,a()) -> x
r2: f(x,g(y)) -> f(g(x),y)

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,g(y)) -> f#(g(x),y)

and R consists of:

r1: f(x,a()) -> x
r2: f(x,g(y)) -> f(g(x),y)

The set of usable rules consists of

  (no rules)

Take the reduction pair:

  lexicographic combination of reduction pairs:
  
    1. weighted path order
    
      base order:
    
        matrix interpretations:
        
          carrier: N^2
          order: lexicographic order
          interpretations:
            f#_A(x1,x2) = ((1,0),(1,1)) x2 + (0,2)
            g_A(x1) = x1 + (1,1)
    
      precedence:
      
        g > f#
      
      partial status:
    
        pi(f#) = []
        pi(g) = []
    
    2. weighted path order
    
      base order:
    
        matrix interpretations:
        
          carrier: N^2
          order: lexicographic order
          interpretations:
            f#_A(x1,x2) = (0,0)
            g_A(x1) = (0,0)
    
      precedence:
      
        f# = g
      
      partial status:
    
        pi(f#) = []
        pi(g) = []
    

The next rules are strictly ordered:

  p1

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