By using the rule removal processor [15] with the following polynomial ordering [25], at least one Dependency Pair or term rewrite system rule of this QDP problem can be strictly oriented.
Strictly oriented dependency pairs:

P(a(a(x0)), p(x1, p(a(x2), x3))) → P(a(a(x0)), x3)
P(a(a(x0)), p(x1, p(a(x2), x3))) → P(a(a(b(x1))), p(a(a(x0)), x3))


Used ordering: POLO with Polynomial interpretation [25]:

POL(P(x1, x2)) = 2·x1 + x2   
POL(a(x1)) = x1   
POL(b(x1)) = x1   
POL(p(x1, x2)) = 1 + 2·x1 + x2

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


P(a(a(x0)), p(x1, p(a(x2), x3))) → P(x2, p(a(a(b(x1))), p(a(a(x0)), x3)))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
none
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [25,35]:

POL(P(x1, x2)) = (4)x_1 + (4)x_2   
POL(a(x1)) = 4 + (4)x_1   
POL(p(x1, x2)) = (1/2)x_1 + (1/2)x_2   
POL(b(x1)) = 0   
The value of delta used in the strict ordering is 24.
The following usable rules [17] were oriented:

p(a(a(x0)), p(x1, p(a(x2), x3))) → p(x2, p(a(a(b(x1))), p(a(a(x0)), x3)))
