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

f(f(a, a), x) → f(x, f(a, f(a, f(a, a))))

Q is empty.

Using Dependency Pairs [1,15] we result in the following initial DP problem:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

F(f(a, a), x) → F(x, f(a, f(a, f(a, a))))
F(f(a, a), x) → F(a, f(a, a))
F(f(a, a), x) → F(a, f(a, f(a, a)))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(f(a, a), x) → f(x, f(a, f(a, f(a, a))))

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

We use the reduction pair processor [15].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


F(f(a, a), x) → F(x, f(a, f(a, f(a, a))))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
none
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [25,35]:

POL(a) = 4   
POL(f(x1, x2)) = 1/2 + (1/2)x_2   
POL(F(x1, x2)) = (1/2)x_1 + (3/4)x_2   
The value of delta used in the strict ordering is 7/32.
The following usable rules [17] were oriented: none
