     ↳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.

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 implicit AFS that need to be oriented.

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

resulting in one new DP problem.

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

F(d, f(c, x)) -> F(d, f(a, x))
three new Dependency Pairs are created:

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
