     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

+'(x, +(y, z)) -> +'(+(x, y), z)
+'(x, +(y, z)) -> +'(x, y)
+'(+(x, *(y, z)), *(y, u)) -> +'(x, *(y, +(z, u)))
+'(+(x, *(y, z)), *(y, u)) -> *'(y, +(z, u))
+'(+(x, *(y, z)), *(y, u)) -> +'(z, u)
*'(x, +(y, z)) -> +'(*(x, y), *(x, z))
*'(x, +(y, z)) -> *'(x, y)
