     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

V(a(a(x))) -> U(v(x))
V(a(a(x))) -> V(x)
V(a(c(x))) -> U(b(d(x)))
W(a(a(x))) -> U(w(x))
W(a(a(x))) -> W(x)
W(a(c(x))) -> U(b(d(x)))

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

         ↳Forward Instantiation Transformation

       →DP Problem 2

         ↳FwdInst

Dependency Pair:

V(a(a(x))) -> V(x)

Rules:

a(c(d(x))) -> c(x)
u(b(d(d(x)))) -> b(x)
v(a(a(x))) -> u(v(x))
v(a(c(x))) -> u(b(d(x)))

Strategy:

innermost

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

V(a(a(x))) -> V(x)

one new Dependency Pair is created:

V(a(a(a(a(x''))))) -> V(a(a(x'')))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
