     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

ACTIVE(f(b, c, x)) -> F(x, x, x)
ACTIVE(f(x, y, z)) -> F(x, y, active(z))
ACTIVE(f(x, y, z)) -> ACTIVE(z)
F(x, y, mark(z)) -> F(x, y, z)
F(ok(x), ok(y), ok(z)) -> F(x, y, z)
PROPER(f(x, y, z)) -> F(proper(x), proper(y), proper(z))
PROPER(f(x, y, z)) -> PROPER(x)
PROPER(f(x, y, z)) -> PROPER(y)
PROPER(f(x, y, z)) -> PROPER(z)
TOP(mark(x)) -> TOP(proper(x))
TOP(mark(x)) -> PROPER(x)
TOP(ok(x)) -> TOP(active(x))
TOP(ok(x)) -> ACTIVE(x)

Furthermore, R contains four SCCs.

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

F(ok(x), ok(y), ok(z)) -> F(x, y, z)

There are no usable rules for innermost that need to be oriented.

Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:

POL(mark(x₁)) = 0

POL(ok(x₁)) = 1 + x₁

POL(F(x₁, x₂, x₃)) = x₁

resulting in one new DP problem.
