   R
Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.


   R
DPs
       →DP Problem 1
Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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


Strategy:

innermost




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

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

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:



   R
DPs
       →DP Problem 1
Nar
           →DP Problem 2
Forward Instantiation Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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


Strategy:

innermost




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

A(b(x)) -> A(x)
two new Dependency Pairs are created:

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:



   R
DPs
       →DP Problem 1
Nar
           →DP Problem 2
FwdInst
             ...
               →DP Problem 3
Remaining Obligation(s)




The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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


Strategy:

innermost
