   R
     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

       →DP Problem 1
         ↳Polynomial Ordering


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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


Strategy:

innermost




The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

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


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

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


Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:
  POL(a)=  1  
  POL(f(x1, x2))=  0  
  POL(F(x1, x2))=  x1  

resulting in one new DP problem.

           →DP Problem 2
             ↳Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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


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

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

  POL(f(x1, x2))=  1 + x1  
  POL(F(x1, x2))=  x2  

resulting in one new DP problem.
