   R
     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

     ↳DPs
       →DP Problem 1
         ↳Argument Filtering and Ordering


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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





The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

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


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

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


Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:
  POL(a)=  1  
  POL(f)=  0  

resulting in one new DP problem.
Used Argument Filtering System:
F(x1, x2) -> x1
f(x1, x2) -> f

             ↳Remaining Obligation(s)




The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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