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

f(g(x)) → f(a(g(g(f(x))), g(f(x))))

Q is empty.

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent. By [19] we can switch to innermost.

Using Dependency Pairs [1,15] we result in the following initial DP problem:
Q DP problem:

F(g(x)) → F(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(g(x)) → f(a(g(g(f(x))), g(f(x))))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(g(x0))

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

By using the subterm criterion [20] together with the size-change analysis [32] 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:
