     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

MARK(f(X)) -> A_{_F}(mark(X))
MARK(f(X)) -> MARK(X)
MARK(h(X)) -> MARK(X)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Rules:

a_{_f}(X) -> g(h(f(X)))

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

MARK(f(X)) -> MARK(X)

two new Dependency Pairs are created:

MARK(f(f(X''))) -> MARK(f(X''))
MARK(f(h(X''))) -> MARK(h(X''))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
