(11) CdtPolyRedPairProof (UPPER BOUND (ADD(O(n^1))) transformation)

Found a reduction pair which oriented the following tuples strictly. Hence they can be removed from S.

F(f(a, f(a, f(a, z0))), a) → c(F(f(f(a, a), f(f(f(a, a), f(f(f(a, a), f(z0, a)), a)), a)), a), F(f(a, a), f(f(a, f(a, z0)), a)), F(a, a), F(f(a, f(a, z0)), a))
We considered the (Usable) Rules:

f(f(a, z0), a) → f(f(f(a, a), f(z0, a)), a)
And the Tuples:

F(f(a, f(a, f(a, z0))), a) → c(F(f(f(a, a), f(f(f(a, a), f(f(f(a, a), f(z0, a)), a)), a)), a), F(f(a, a), f(f(a, f(a, z0)), a)), F(a, a), F(f(a, f(a, z0)), a))
The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
Polynomial interpretation :

POL(F(x1, x2)) = [2]x1   
POL(a) = 0   
POL(c(x1, x2, x3, x4)) = x1 + x2 + x3 + x4   
POL(f(x1, x2)) = [2] + [4]x2
