     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

         ↳Forward Instantiation Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rules:


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


Strategy:

innermost




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

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

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
