     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

A(d(x)) -> B(a(x))
A(d(x)) -> A(x)
B(c(x)) -> A(b(x))
B(c(x)) -> B(x)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Dependency Pairs:

B(c(x)) -> B(x)
A(d(x)) -> A(x)
B(c(x)) -> A(b(x))
A(d(x)) -> B(a(x))


Rules:


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


Strategy:

innermost




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

A(d(x)) -> B(a(x))
two new Dependency Pairs are created:

A(d(d(x''))) -> B(d(c(b(a(x'')))))
A(d(c(x''))) -> B(x'')

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

As we are in the innermost case, we can delete all 4 non-usable-rules.

Dependency Pairs:

A(d(c(x''))) -> B(x'')


Rule:

none


Strategy:

We have the following set of usable rules: none
To remove rules and DPs from this DP problem we used the following monotonic and CE-compatible order: Polynomial ordering.
Polynomial interpretation:
  POL(c(x1))=  x1  
  POL(B(x1))=  x1  
  POL(d(x1))=  x1  
  POL(A(x1))=  x1  

We have the following set D of usable symbols: {B, A}
The following Dependency Pairs can be deleted as they contain symbols in their lhs which do not occur in D:

A(d(x)) -> A(x)
B(c(d(x''))) -> A(x'')
B(c(x)) -> B(x)
A(d(c(x''))) -> B(x'')

No Rules can be deleted.

After the removal, there are no SCCs in the dependency graph which results in no DP problems which have to be solved.
