Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rules:


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


Strategy:

innermost




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

F(f(a, a), x) -> F(a, f(b, f(a, x)))
two new Dependency Pairs are created:

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

Forward Instantiation Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rules:


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


Strategy:

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

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

F(f(a, a), f(y'', z'')) -> F(a, f(y'', z''))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

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

F(x, f(y, z)) -> F(x, y)
four new Dependency Pairs are created:

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
