   R
     ↳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.

     ↳DPs
       →DP Problem 1
         ↳Argument Filtering and Ordering


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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


Strategy:

innermost




The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

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


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

f(f(a, x), a) -> f(f(f(x, a), f(a, 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) -> x2
f(x1, x2) -> f

         ↳AFS
           →DP Problem 2
             ↳Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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


Strategy:

innermost




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

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

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
