Termination of R to be shown.



   R
Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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





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

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

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

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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





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

F(f(a, a), f(a, a)) -> F(a, f(a, f(f(f(a, a), a), f(f(a, a), a))))
no new Dependency Pairs are created.
The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:



   R

       →DP Problem 1
Nar
           →DP Problem 2

             ...

Remaining Obligation(s)




The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pair:

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


Rule:


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