   R
     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

       →DP Problem 1
         ↳Argument Filtering and Ordering
       →DP Problem 2
         ↳Remaining


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rules:


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


Strategy:

innermost




The following dependency pairs can be strictly oriented:

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


There are no usable rules for innermost w.r.t. to the AFS that need to be oriented.
Used ordering: Homeomorphic Embedding Order with EMB
resulting in one new DP problem.
Used Argument Filtering System:
F(x1, x2) -> F(x1, x2)
f(x1, x2) -> f(x1, x2)

Dependency Pair:


Rules:


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


Strategy:

innermost




Using the Dependency Graph resulted in no new DP problems.

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