Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

The following usable rule for innermost can be oriented:

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

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