   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
         ↳Usable Rules (Innermost)


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:

innermost




As we are in the innermost case, we can delete all 1 non-usable-rules.

         ↳UsableRules
           →DP Problem 2
             ↳Instantiation Transformation


Dependency Pair:

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


Rule:

none


Strategy:

innermost




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

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

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

The transformation is resulting in no new DP problems.
