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.

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:

The following dependency pairs can be strictly oriented:

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


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

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


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

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