     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

F(x, a(b(y))) -> F(a(b(x)), y)
F(x, b(c(y))) -> F(b(c(x)), y)
F(x, c(a(y))) -> F(c(a(x)), y)
F(a(x), y) -> F(x, a(y))
F(b(x), y) -> F(x, b(y))
F(c(x), y) -> F(x, c(y))

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

We have the following set of usable rules: none
To remove rules and DPs from this DP problem we used the following monotonic and CE-compatible order: Polynomial ordering.
Polynomial interpretation:
  POL(c(x1))=  x1  
  POL(b(x1))=  x1  
  POL(a(x1))=  x1  
  POL(F(x1, x2))=  1 + x1 + x2  

We have the following set D of usable symbols: {c, b, a, F}
No Dependency Pairs can be deleted.
6 non usable rules have been deleted.

The result of this processor delivers one new DP problem.

R does not overlap into P. Moreover, R is locally confluent (all critical pairs are trivially joinable).Hence we can switch to innermost.
The transformation is resulting in one subcycle:

It has been determined that showing finiteness of this DP problem is equivalent to showing termination of a string rewrite system.
(Re)applying the dependency pair method (incl. the dependency graph) for the following SRS:

c(a(x)) -> a(c(x))
a(b(x)) -> b(a(x))
b(c(x)) -> c(b(x))
There is only one SCC in the graph and, thus, we obtain one new DP problem.

Used ordering:

POL( A(x1) ) = x1

POL( c(x1) ) = 0

POL( b(x1) ) = 1
