Term Rewriting System R:
[x]
f(x, f(f(a, a), a)) -> f(f(a, f(a, a)), x)

Termination of R to be shown.



   R
Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Narrowing Transformation


Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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





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

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

       →DP Problem 1
Nar
           →DP Problem 2
Remaining Obligation(s)




The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pair:

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


Rule:


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




Termination of R could not be shown.
