   R
Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Dependency Pairs:

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


Rule:


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





The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

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


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

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


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

resulting in one new DP problem.

Remaining Obligation(s)




The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pair:

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


Rule:


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