   R
     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC. 


   R
     ↳DPs
       →DP Problem 1
         ↳Argument Filtering and Ordering


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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





The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

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


The following usable rule using the Ce-refinement can be oriented:

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


Used ordering: Lexicographic Path Order with Non-Strict Precedence with Quasi Precedence:
a > f

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

The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pair:

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


Rule:


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