     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

+'(x, s(y)) -> +'(x, y)
*'(x, s(y)) -> +'(*(x, y), x)
*'(x, s(y)) -> *'(x, y)
GE(s(x), s(y)) -> GE(x, y)
-'(s(x), s(y)) -> -'(x, y)
FACT(x) -> IFFACT(x, ge(x, s(s(0))))
FACT(x) -> GE(x, s(s(0)))
IFFACT(x, true) -> *'(x, fact(-(x, s(0))))
IFFACT(x, true) -> FACT(-(x, s(0)))
IFFACT(x, true) -> -'(x, s(0))

Furthermore, R contains five SCCs.

Strategy:

innermost

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

+'(x, s(y)) -> +'(x, y)

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

Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:

POL(s(x₁)) = 1 + x₁

POL(+'(x₁, x₂)) = x₂

resulting in one new DP problem.

POL(IFFACT(x₁, x₂)) = x₁

POL(true) = 0

POL(s(x₁)) = 1 + x₁

resulting in one new DP problem.

Dependency Pair:

FACT(s(s(x''''''))) -> IFFACT(s(s(x'''''')), true)

Rules:

+(x, 0) -> x
+(x, s(y)) -> s(+(x, y))
*(x, 0) -> 0
*(x, s(y)) -> +(*(x, y), x)
ge(x, 0) -> true
ge(0, s(y)) -> false
ge(s(x), s(y)) -> ge(x, y)
-(x, 0) -> x
-(s(x), s(y)) -> -(x, y)
fact(x) -> iffact(x, ge(x, s(s(0))))
iffact(x, true) -> *(x, fact(-(x, s(0))))
iffact(x, false) -> s(0)

Strategy:
