Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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


Strategy:

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

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

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


The following usable rule for innermost w.r.t. to the AFS can be oriented:

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


Used ordering: Lexicographic Path Order with Non-Strict Precedence with Quasi Precedence:
{a, f}

resulting in one new DP problem.
Used Argument Filtering System:
F(x1, x2) -> F(x1, x2)
f(x1, x2) -> f(x1)
