     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

A(a(x)) -> B(b(x))
A(a(x)) -> B(x)
B(b(a(x))) -> A(b(b(x)))
B(b(a(x))) -> B(b(x))
B(b(a(x))) -> B(x)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

         ↳Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

B(b(a(x))) -> B(x)
B(b(a(x))) -> B(b(x))
A(a(x)) -> B(x)
B(b(a(x))) -> A(b(b(x)))
A(a(x)) -> B(b(x))


Rules:


a(a(x)) -> b(b(x))
b(b(a(x))) -> a(b(b(x)))


Strategy:

innermost




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

A(a(x)) -> B(b(x))
one new Dependency Pair is created:

A(a(b(a(x'')))) -> B(a(b(b(x''))))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

Additionally, the following usable rules for innermost can be oriented:

b(b(a(x))) -> a(b(b(x)))
a(a(x)) -> b(b(x))


Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:
  POL(B(x1))=  x1  
  POL(b(x1))=  x1  
  POL(a(x1))=  1 + x1  
  POL(A(x1))=  x1
