     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

-'(s(x), s(y)) -> -'(x, y)
+'(s(x), y) -> +'(x, y)
*'(x, s(y)) -> +'(x, *(x, y))
*'(x, s(y)) -> *'(x, y)
F(s(x)) -> F(-(p(*(s(x), s(x))), *(s(x), s(x))))
F(s(x)) -> -'(p(*(s(x), s(x))), *(s(x), s(x)))
F(s(x)) -> P(*(s(x), s(x)))
F(s(x)) -> *'(s(x), s(x))

Furthermore, R contains four SCCs.

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