     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

FLATTEN(unit(x)) -> FLATTEN(x)
FLATTEN(++(x, y)) -> ++'(flatten(x), flatten(y))
FLATTEN(++(x, y)) -> FLATTEN(x)
FLATTEN(++(x, y)) -> FLATTEN(y)
FLATTEN(++(unit(x), y)) -> ++'(flatten(x), flatten(y))
FLATTEN(++(unit(x), y)) -> FLATTEN(x)
FLATTEN(++(unit(x), y)) -> FLATTEN(y)
REV(++(x, y)) -> ++'(rev(y), rev(x))
REV(++(x, y)) -> REV(y)
REV(++(x, y)) -> REV(x)
++'(++(x, y), z) -> ++'(x, ++(y, z))
++'(++(x, y), z) -> ++'(y, z)

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.

Dependency Pairs:

++'(++(x, y), z) -> ++'(x, ++(y, z))

Rules:

flatten(nil) -> nil
flatten(unit(x)) -> flatten(x)

rev(rev(x)) -> x
++(x, nil) -> x
++(nil, y) -> y
++(++(x, y), z) -> ++(x, ++(y, z))

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

++'(++(x, y), z) -> ++'(y, z)

The following usable rules w.r.t. to the AFS can be oriented:

++(x, nil) -> x
++(nil, y) -> y
++(++(x, y), z) -> ++(x, ++(y, z))

Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:

POL(++'(x₁, x₂)) = 1 + x₁ + x₂

POL(++(x₁, x₂)) = 1 + x₁ + x₂

POL(nil) = 0

resulting in one new DP problem.
Used Argument Filtering System:
