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

Termination of R to be shown. 



   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. 


   R
     ↳DPs
       →DP Problem 1
         ↳Narrowing Transformation


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))





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

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

         ↳Nar
           →DP Problem 2
             ↳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))
