   R
Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Polynomial Ordering


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rules:


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


Strategy:

innermost




The following dependency pairs can be strictly oriented:

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


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

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


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

resulting in one new DP problem.

Dependency Pairs:

Strategy:

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

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

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
