     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

*'(x, *(y, z)) -> *'(*(x, y), z)
*'(x, *(y, z)) -> *'(x, y)
*'(*(i(x), k(y, z)), x) -> K(*(*(i(x), y), x), *(*(i(x), z), x))
*'(*(i(x), k(y, z)), x) -> *'(*(i(x), y), x)
*'(*(i(x), k(y, z)), x) -> *'(i(x), y)
*'(*(i(x), k(y, z)), x) -> *'(*(i(x), z), x)
*'(*(i(x), k(y, z)), x) -> *'(i(x), z)
I(*(x, y)) -> *'(i(y), i(x))
I(*(x, y)) -> I(y)
I(*(x, y)) -> I(x)

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

       →DP Problem 1

         ↳Argument Filtering and Ordering

       →DP Problem 2

         ↳FwdInst

Dependency Pair:

I(*(x, y)) -> I(x)

Rules:

*(x, 1) -> x
*(1, y) -> y
*(i(x), x) -> 1
*(x, i(x)) -> 1
*(x, *(y, z)) -> *(*(x, y), z)
*(*(x, y), i(y)) -> x
*(*(x, i(y)), y) -> x
*(k(x, y), k(y, x)) -> 1
*(*(i(x), k(y, z)), x) -> k(*(*(i(x), y), x), *(*(i(x), z), x))
i(1) -> 1
i(i(x)) -> x
i(*(x, y)) -> *(i(y), i(x))
k(x, 1) -> 1
k(x, x) -> 1
k(*(x, i(y)), *(y, i(x))) -> 1

Strategy:

innermost

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

I(*(x, y)) -> I(x)

There are no usable rules for innermost that need to be oriented.
Used ordering: Lexicographic Path Order with Non-Strict Precedence with Quasi Precedence:

trivial

resulting in one new DP problem.
Used Argument Filtering System:

I(x₁) -> I(x₁)
*(x₁, x₂) -> *(x₁, x₂)

         ↳Forward Instantiation Transformation

Dependency Pairs:

*'(*(i(x), k(y, z)), x) -> *'(*(i(x), z), x)
*'(x, *(y, z)) -> *'(x, y)

Rules:

*(x, 1) -> x

*(i(x), x) -> 1
*(x, i(x)) -> 1
*(x, *(y, z)) -> *(*(x, y), z)
*(*(x, y), i(y)) -> x

Strategy:

innermost

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

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

two new Dependency Pairs are created:

*'(x'', *(*(y'', z''), z)) -> *'(x'', *(y'', z''))
*'(*(i(x'''), k(y'', z'')), *(y0, z)) -> *'(*(i(x'''), k(y'', z'')), y0)

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

*'(*(i(x'''), k(y'', z'')), *(y0, z)) -> *'(*(i(x'''), k(y'', z'')), y0)
