   R
     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

F(a, f(x, a)) -> F(a, f(x, f(f(a, a), a)))
F(a, f(x, a)) -> F(x, f(f(a, a), a))
F(a, f(x, a)) -> F(f(a, a), a)
F(a, f(x, a)) -> F(a, a)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

     ↳DPs
       →DP Problem 1
         ↳Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

F(a, f(x, a)) -> F(x, f(f(a, a), a))
F(a, f(x, a)) -> F(a, f(x, f(f(a, a), a)))


Rule:


f(a, f(x, a)) -> f(a, f(x, f(f(a, a), a)))


Strategy:

innermost




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

F(a, f(x, a)) -> F(a, f(x, f(f(a, a), a)))
one new Dependency Pair is created:

F(a, f(a, a)) -> F(a, f(a, f(f(a, a), f(f(a, a), a))))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
