     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

TOP(free(x)) -> TOP(check(new(x)))
TOP(free(x)) -> CHECK(new(x))
TOP(free(x)) -> NEW(x)
NEW(free(x)) -> NEW(x)
OLD(free(x)) -> OLD(x)
CHECK(free(x)) -> CHECK(x)
CHECK(new(x)) -> NEW(check(x))
CHECK(new(x)) -> CHECK(x)
CHECK(old(x)) -> OLD(check(x))
CHECK(old(x)) -> CHECK(x)

Furthermore, R contains five SCCs.

Strategy:

innermost

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

NEW(free(x)) -> NEW(x)

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

Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:

POL(NEW(x₁)) = x₁

POL(free(x₁)) = 1 + x₁

resulting in one new DP problem.

On this DP problem, a Narrowing SCC transformation can be performed.
As a result of transforming the rule

TOP(free(x)) -> TOP(check(new(x)))

three new Dependency Pairs are created:

TOP(free(x'')) -> TOP(new(check(x'')))
TOP(free(free(x''))) -> TOP(check(free(new(x''))))
TOP(free(serve)) -> TOP(check(free(serve)))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
