     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

FLATTEN(unit(x)) -> FLATTEN(x)
FLATTEN(++(x, y)) -> ++'(flatten(x), flatten(y))
FLATTEN(++(x, y)) -> FLATTEN(x)
FLATTEN(++(x, y)) -> FLATTEN(y)
FLATTEN(++(unit(x), y)) -> ++'(flatten(x), flatten(y))
FLATTEN(++(unit(x), y)) -> FLATTEN(x)
FLATTEN(++(unit(x), y)) -> FLATTEN(y)
REV(++(x, y)) -> ++'(rev(y), rev(x))
REV(++(x, y)) -> REV(y)
REV(++(x, y)) -> REV(x)
++'(++(x, y), z) -> ++'(x, ++(y, z))
++'(++(x, y), z) -> ++'(y, z)

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.

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

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

one new Dependency Pair is created:

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
