YES

We show the termination of the TRS R:

  p(a(x0),p(b(x1),p(a(x2),x3))) -> p(x2,p(a(a(x0)),p(b(x1),x3)))

-- SCC decomposition.

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

p1: p#(a(x0),p(b(x1),p(a(x2),x3))) -> p#(x2,p(a(a(x0)),p(b(x1),x3)))
p2: p#(a(x0),p(b(x1),p(a(x2),x3))) -> p#(a(a(x0)),p(b(x1),x3))
p3: p#(a(x0),p(b(x1),p(a(x2),x3))) -> p#(b(x1),x3)

and R consists of:

r1: p(a(x0),p(b(x1),p(a(x2),x3))) -> p(x2,p(a(a(x0)),p(b(x1),x3)))

The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs:

  {p2}


-- Reduction pair.

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

p1: p#(a(x0),p(b(x1),p(a(x2),x3))) -> p#(a(a(x0)),p(b(x1),x3))

and R consists of:

r1: p(a(x0),p(b(x1),p(a(x2),x3))) -> p(x2,p(a(a(x0)),p(b(x1),x3)))

The set of usable rules consists of

  (no rules)

Take the reduction pair:

  weighted path order
  
    base order:
  
      matrix interpretations:
      
        carrier: N^2
        order: standard order
        interpretations:
          p#_A(x1,x2) = ((0,1),(0,0)) x2 + (4,0)
          a_A(x1) = (9,1)
          p_A(x1,x2) = x2 + (5,2)
          b_A(x1) = (11,1)
  
    precedence:
    
      p# = a = p = b
    
    partial status:
  
      pi(p#) = []
      pi(a) = []
      pi(p) = []
      pi(b) = []

The next rules are strictly ordered:

  p1

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