   R
     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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





The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

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


Additionally, the following rule can be oriented:

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


Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:
  POL(a)=  1  
  POL(f(x1, x2))=  0  
  POL(F(x1, x2))=  x1  

resulting in one new DP problem.

The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pair:

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


Rule:


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