Pi DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

SELECTA_IN_GGA(X1, .(X1, .(X2, X3)), .(X1, .(X2, X4))) → U1_GGA(X1, X2, X3, X4, selectA_in_gga(X1, X3, X4))

(9) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the subterm criterion [SUBTERM_CRITERION] together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] we have proven that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

From the DPs we obtained the following set of size-change graphs:

  • SELECTA_IN_GGA(X1, .(X2, .(X3, X4))) → SELECTA_IN_GGA(X1, X4)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 >= 1, 2 > 2

  • SELECTA_IN_GGA(X1, .(X1, .(X2, X3))) → SELECTA_IN_GGA(X1, X3)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 >= 1, 2 > 1, 2 > 2
