   R
     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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





The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

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


Additionally, the following rule can be oriented:

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


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

resulting in one new DP problem.

The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pair:

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


Rule:


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