   R
     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

PURGE(.(x, y)) -> PURGE(remove(x, y))
PURGE(.(x, y)) -> REMOVE(x, y)
REMOVE(x, .(y, z)) -> REMOVE(x, z)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC. 


   R
     ↳DPs
       →DP Problem 1
         ↳Usable Rules (Innermost)


Dependency Pair:

REMOVE(x, .(y, z)) -> REMOVE(x, z)


Rules:


purge(nil) -> nil
purge(.(x, y)) -> .(x, purge(remove(x, y)))
remove(x, nil) -> nil
remove(x, .(y, z)) -> if(=(x, y), remove(x, z), .(y, remove(x, z)))


Strategy:

innermost




As we are in the innermost case, we can delete all 4 non-usable-rules.

         ↳UsableRules
           →DP Problem 2
             ↳Size-Change Principle


Dependency Pair:

REMOVE(x, .(y, z)) -> REMOVE(x, z)


Rule:

none


Strategy:

innermost




We number the DPs as follows:
  1. REMOVE(x, .(y, z)) -> REMOVE(x, z)
and get the following Size-Change Graph(s):
{1} , {1}
1=1
2>2

which lead(s) to this/these maximal multigraph(s):
{1} , {1}
1=1
2>2

DP: empty set
Oriented Rules: none

We used the order Homeomorphic Embedding Order with Non-Strict Precedence.
trivial

with Argument Filtering System:
.(x1, x2) -> .(x1, x2)

We obtain no new DP problems.
