Innermost Termination of R to be shown. 



   R
     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC. 


   R
     ↳DPs
       →DP Problem 1
         ↳Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


f(a, f(x, a)) -> f(a, f(f(f(a, a), 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(f(f(a, a), a), x)
no new Dependency Pairs are created.
The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pair:

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


Rule:


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


Strategy:
