Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

*(*(x, y), z) → *(x, *(y, z))
*(+(x, y), z) → +(*(x, z), *(y, z))
*(x, +(y, f(z))) → *(g(x, z), +(y, y))

Q is empty.

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(2) Obligation:

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

*1(*(x, y), z) → *1(x, *(y, z))
*1(*(x, y), z) → *1(y, z)
*1(+(x, y), z) → *1(x, z)
*1(+(x, y), z) → *1(y, z)
*1(x, +(y, f(z))) → *1(g(x, z), +(y, y))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

*(*(x, y), z) → *(x, *(y, z))
*(+(x, y), z) → +(*(x, z), *(y, z))
*(x, +(y, f(z))) → *(g(x, z), +(y, y))

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(3) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 2 SCCs.

(4) Complex Obligation (AND)

(5) Obligation:

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

*1(x, +(y, f(z))) → *1(g(x, z), +(y, y))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

*(*(x, y), z) → *(x, *(y, z))
*(+(x, y), z) → +(*(x, z), *(y, z))
*(x, +(y, f(z))) → *(g(x, z), +(y, y))

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(6) NonLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By Theorem 8 [NONLOOP] we deduce infiniteness of the QDP.
We apply the theorem with m = 1, b = 0,
σ' = [ ], and μ' = [x0 / x0', x2 / g(x2, x0)] on the rule
*1(g(x2, x0), +(f(x0'), f(x0')))[ ]n[x1 / f(x0')] → *1(g(x2, x0), +(f(x0'), f(x0')))[ ]n[x1 / f(x0'), x0 / x0', x2 / g(x2, x0)]
This rule is correct for the QDP as the following derivation shows:

intermediate steps: Equivalent (Simplify mu) - Instantiate mu - Equivalent (Simplify mu) - Instantiate mu - Instantiation
*1(x, +(y, f(z)))[ ]n[ ] → *1(g(x, z), +(y, y))[ ]n[ ]
    by OriginalRule from TRS P

(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:

  • *1(*(x, y), z) → *1(y, z)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 >= 2

  • *1(*(x, y), z) → *1(x, *(y, z))
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1

  • *1(+(x, y), z) → *1(x, z)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 >= 2

  • *1(+(x, y), z) → *1(y, z)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 >= 2
