Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

Dependency Pairs:

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


Rules:


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


Strategy:

innermost




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

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

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
